Denver metro homes around the national median price
Federal Heights’ neighborhoods include Holiday Hills Village, a manufactured home community, and Northborough Heights, where split-level and bi-level ranch-style homes line the streets. “It’s a lower price point and older homes than Westminster and Northglenn. Homes were built in the 1960s and 1970s, so some are original and some renovated,” says local Realtor Chad Murphy with Compass, who has worked in real estate since 2016.
According to the National Association of Realtors, the median home price in Federal Heights is $420,000, slightly higher than the national median. Condos and townhouses also dot the city and range in price from $120,000 to $520,000.

In mid-March 2025, the Hyland Hills Sports Complex will reopen and feature ADA enhancements to the playground, new artificial turf fields and picnic shelters. Hyland Hills also includes Water World, one of the nation’s largest water parks and the city’s largest sources of revenue. “It’s very fun; I’ve been going for years,” Murphy says. “There are themed rides, like one that mimics Jurassic Park, some water coasters and family rides that can fit four to five people in a tube.” Ruston Park is one of the only parks that the city maintains.
Water World is one of the country's premier water parks with over 50 attractions for the entire family.
