Suburban neighborhood with retail and recreation
South of Lakewood, sprawling subdivisions with a mix of residential homes make up the Kipling Hills neighborhood. Retail options and restaurants are a quick drive away, and Lilley Gulch Park stretches across the area, offering outdoor amenities right in peoples’ backyards. “It’s a very pristine yet outdoorsy pocket of Colorado,” says Realtor Melinda Sanders with eXp Realty. With a CAP Index crime score of two out of 10, which is lower than the U.S. national average of four, Kipling Hills offers its residents limited crime, spacious homes and a convenient location.
A variety of single-family homes
Kipling Hills’ two oldest subdivisions, Kipling Villas and Woodmar, were developed in the 1970s and are filled with different housing styles to match every preference. Most of the properties rest on large lots with manicured lawns and are shaded by mature trees. Vinyl split levels with the occasional brick feature and contemporary two-story homes are popular, with two-car garages and driveways as an added bonus. These homes range from 1,500 to 2,300 square feet and cost anywhere between $450,000 and $625,000. There are also brightly colored ranch-style homes available for $500,000 to $600,000. “The homes here are a little older, and some might need updating, but you can get a really good deal,” Sanders says. “There is a good variety of residents who have been here since the 70s, all the way up to first-time homebuyers who are finding it affordable to move here now.” Those who want alternative housing options can look into townhouse communities like Kipling Sun Townhomes. These properties range from 1,000 to 1,600 square feet and cost $370,000 to $470,000. There’s a homeowner’s association to take care of maintenance, and some properties come with attached garages and a basement.

Sprawling neighborhood park
When residents want to stretch their legs, Lilley Gulch Park offers many opportunities for outdoor recreation. The park bisects the neighborhood and has grassy rolling hills with walking trails that stretch across the entire area. The park includes two multi-use fields, tennis courts and a jungle gym. The Lilley Gulch Recreation Center has indoor facilities such as a pool and racquetball courts for rainy-day activities. “The rec center is one of the big draws here. It’s really big and has a pool and gymnastics classes. All sorts of stuff,” Sanders says. For those who enjoy water recreation, Johnson Reservoir is less than a mile east and accessible through Robert F. Clement Park. The waterside green space is a popular spot for catching largemouth bass and watching wildlife. The green space hosts annual events such as a summer concert series, the Red White & You Independence Day celebration, and the Summerset Festival.
