Leawood
Suburban Neighborhood in Littleton, Colorado
Arapahoe County 80123
Brick ranch homes and split levels on lush lots
Homes in Leawood sit on lush green lots with paved driveways and attached garages. Brick ranch-style homes from the 1960s begin at around $400,000, and split-level homes with craftsman elements can sell for as high as $950,000. Sprawling farmstead complexes on extended acreage can cost up to $1.6 million. "Leawood is a great location with older homes on bigger lots, which are a little more affordable. It has good schools and is close to shopping and parks," says Melinda Sanders, an area local who has lived in the south Denver metro for over 35 years and works as a Realtor at eXp Realty in Englewood. "It's an up-and-coming part of Littleton. Because of its proximity to the parks and being right across the street from the higher-priced properties in Grant Ranch, as people move in and start re-doing homes there, those home values will go up." Homes on the neighborhood's north side are acreage properties with horse farms, giving Leawood a rural touch. Although most homes in this neighborhood have a similar rustic vibe, there is an architectural diversity with renovated residences that continue to incorporate brick and classic ranch-style siding in different ways, giving homes a newer feel consistent with their environment.Robert F. Clement Park and local nature trails
Clement Park is one of the area's central meeting and event grounds with plenty of amenities like the children's splash pad, a skatepark and sports facilities used by the athletic teams at Columbine High School, which is within walking distance of the park. Trails circle the 60-acre Johnston Reservoir and an outdoor that sets the summer tone. Those walking in Clement Park can pause for reflection at the Columbine Memorial. Adventurers can explore the paved nature trails in Weaver Park, like the Coal Mine Trail or the 2-mile Dutch Creek Trail, which runs laterally alongside Dutch Creek. Weaver Park stretches along the neighborhood's southern border, offering a green space with hard courts for anyone looking to play pick-up basketball or a round of tennis. To avoid the crowds in Clement, families can spend an evening discovering the expansive playground and baseball diamond at Leawood Park, developed in the 1970s by the Leawood Civic Association and encompasses five acres on Pierce Street. At the corner of Sheridan Boulevard and Leawood Drive, the Raccoon Hollar Nature Park is a narrow path behind residential streets into a wooded canopy by a xeriscape garden around Raccoon Creek. Just north of Leawood, the Raccoon Creek Golf Course has two reservoirs and other water hazards on a walkable, well-maintained public course.Top-performing Columbine High School next to Clement Park
Kids in Leawood can learn about the environment while tending the school garden at Leawood Elementary School, which maintains an overall Niche grade of B-plus. Students move on to attend Ken Caryl Middle School, which also holds a grade of B-plus on Niche and keeps students engaged with unique electives like jewelry making or mechanics of engineering. In high school, students can attend the top-performing Columbine High School, which maintains a grade of A on Niche. Here, students can participate in the award-winning drama program or volunteer their time through local community service projects.
Spend the evening at a concert in the park or pick up produce at the farmers' market
The community looks forward to concerts in Clement Park, a Thursday night concert series that is free to the public in the summer. Locals gather on the lawn at the Grant Amphitheater to watch artists perform live music in genres like rock, reggae, and bluegrass. Craft beer connoisseurs can sample breweries at Hops in the Park, a festival in May with food trucks and local vendors. Red, White & You is an Independence Day celebration on July 3rd in Clement Park, with kids' activities and fireworks that draw an annual crowd of over 30,000. The Metro Denver Farmers' Market sets up local produce and craft vendor booths in the Southwest Plaza parking lot each Saturday morning from May to October each year.
