Genesee Central is a foothills neighborhood with many community groups
In the foothills west of Denver, Genesee Central’s residential streets wind through pine tree forests. “It’s a great location; only 20 [miles] to downtown, but it feels like it's a world away,” says Carolyn Kenney, a broker associate with HomeSmart who has over two decades of experience. “It’s a tranquil bedroom community, but vibrant in the sense that the community is involved. There are a couple of clubhouses, a library and lots of groups like quilting, biking and hiking.”
Genesee Central features winding roads throughout the neighborhood.
The Vista Clubhouse in Genesee Central features two tennis courts, a pool, and an outdoor playground.
