Architectural variety
Central Park is home to various forms of architecture. New traditional and contemporary styles are part of recent developments; others draw inspiration from vintage styles like Craftsman and Tudor Revival. “What I love about the residential areas in Central Park is that it’s a very diverse housing stock,” says Amy Cesario, a Denver native and a broker associate at Compass Colorado with 25 years of experience. “There are smaller houses, larger houses, some houses that look like old Victorians and some that have the new modern, sleek look, but it was all done by one planned developer. I love that they brought in different builders to make this neighborhood feel as unique as some of the inner-city neighborhoods.” Most construction occurred around 2006, and residential areas are still in development. Prices for single-family homes range from $800,000 to upwards of $1.4 million. The average sale price over the last 12 months is $856,847.
