Housing varies from single-family homes to decorative townhouses

Many ranch-style and split-level homes were built alongside each other during the late 1970s and 1980s. Around the late 1990s, they were joined by New Traditional homes. The area’s single-family houses range in price from the lower $500,000s to about $1 million. “It’s a good entry-level neighborhood for first-time homebuyers because they can get an affordable house near good schools,” says Melinda Sanders, a Ken Caryl local who has lived in South Denver for over 30 years and is a realtor at eXp Realty in Englewood. “It’s a great place to get established and start raising a family.”

Condo prices in Stony Creek range from the mid-$100,000s to the lower $300,000s. Townhouses are priced between the higher $200,000s and lower $600,000s. In the Dutch Ridge Community, townhouses often have decorative gables and scallop detailing on their exteriors. Traditional-inspired townhouses are also available.

Commuting to Denver is made easy with the light rail and major roads

Residents have several options when commuting to major employment centers, such as downtown Denver. “Ken Caryl Avenue, you can take that due east to a park and ride where you can get on the light rail,” Sanders says, referring to the Littleton-Mineral Station. The trip to Union Station in Lower Downtown is about 30 minutes. Wadsworth Boulevard also connects Stony Creek to the greater downtown area, which includes the Central Business District and Capitol Hill.

Trails, Chatfield State Park and parks with playgrounds are nearby

The Dutch Creek Trail is a bike-friendly path that totals over 5 miles. It connects the neighborhood to others, including Meadows, Foothill Green and Columbine West. Both the Valley View and Christensen Meadows parks offer athletic facilities and playgrounds. Less than 10 minutes away, Chatfield State Park has a 1,500-acre lake with boat ramps and docks on its perimeter. The park also includes a dog run, swim beach and about 26 miles of trails. “It’s super accessible to get on the highway, go to retail areas, but also go to all these parks and hiking trails: Hildebrand Ranch, South Valley, Deer Creek," Sanders says. "Those are parks that people will drive from other parts of Denver to hike, and they’re literally five minutes out your door in these neighborhoods.”

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
