Creighton's ranches and ranch-style homes
Despite its proximity to other areas of Lakewood and a university within its borders, the Creighton community in Colorado is cherished by residents for its semirural feel. The community is divided into three quadrants by West 1st Avenue and Garrison Street, while West 6th Avenue serves as the community’s northern boundary and path to convenient shopping and dining.

Creighton’s semi-rural and suburban halves
McIntyre Gulch runs through Creighton’s northern half, carving an atypical city grid. The houses here rest on wider, curvier streets with no sidewalks, and ample lots are large enough for some residents to keep horses. Rows of square suburban lots encompass the rest of the neighborhood. Barring differences in lot sizes, ranch-style homes first constructed in 1940 comprise most of this sector. Some have been gutted and brought to midcentury modern sleekness, while others maintain their brick and vinyl exteriors. Most homes list between $500,000 and $850,000, with the occasional custom home reaching beyond $1 million. Meanwhile, two-story condos adjacent to Colorado Christian University run the gamut from $400,000 to $470,000.

Neighboring the Denver Federal Center
Creighton — and much of Lakewood’s farmland — was developed to accommodate workers for the Denver Ordnance Plant during World War II. The factory's munitions production ceased after the war, and the plant was converted to the Denver Federal Center, a complex of federal agencies. It is Lakewood’s largest employer and Creighton's next-door neighbor.
