Easy access meets mountaintop seclusion
The Green Valley allows residents to stretch out along the wide-open flatlands of the Rocky Mountain Valley area west of Denver. With large lot sizes and an old-school aesthetic that exudes a countryside atmosphere the neighborhood provides a sense of seclusion. Yet, despite its scenic setting, it is only 30 miles to everything the Denver metropolitan area offers. “Even amongst other neighborhoods in the area, Green Valley is super convenient,” says Lynn Westfall, associate broker with RE/MAX and longtime resident of the area. “It’s right off the highway and people can be back down the hill in no time.”
Green Valley is located right off the highway making it very convenient.
Green Valley is a quiet and beautiful community, and a great place to call home.

Easy access, despite the seclusion
U.S. Highway 285 is directly accessible via the neighborhood, making the area popular for those who commute. “For people who want to work in Denver but be somewhere completely different when they get home, this is a nice option,” says Westfall. Both the Denver Tech Center and UC Health Highlands Ranch Hospital are about 30 miles away, while the Denver International Airport is approximately 55 miles from the neighborhood. Driving in the winter can be tricky as the area gets nearly 6 feet of snow a year.
