Lone Tree near Denver is a city in its own right

Lone Tree is a small city in the heart of Denver’s southern metro area. It's located at the intersection of Interstate 25 and Highway C-470. Home to 14,000 people, the compact city overflows with features that appeal to professionals and families, and it’s under 8 miles from the Denver Tech Center, a hub for a thousand national and global companies. “When I have relocation buyers coming in from out of town, I always start people in Lone Tree. It’s got everything you could want within 5 or 10 minutes,” says Michael Kozlowski, a Realtor who specializes in the Lone Tree area and is a #1 Ranked Individual RE/MAX Agent in Colorado. "It’s got one of the newest malls in town, it’s got a Sam’s Club and a Costco, and high-end stores and restaurants. And it’s also convenient to the highway—it’ll take you to the airport, it’ll take you downtown, it’ll take you to the mountains.”

Large homes near the golf course, high-density builds near Park Meadows Mall

In Lone Tree, two gated communities and several other subdivisions are integrated into a setting with lots of green space. Some homes surround the expansive golf course that centers the community. Spacious homes sit on curvy streets that are lined with sidewalks and often end in cul-de-sacs. Aspen, spruce and cottonwood trees dot lush lawns. Most of the homes are traditional custom homes built in the 1990s and 2000s. While some homes can approach $4 million, the average home value is about $900,000, quite a bit higher than the national average of $555,000. Newer higher-density homes are going up at lower price points closer to the highway, light rail stations, commercial centers and office areas. “The new builds are high-density and contemporary with two-, three-, sometimes four-level properties. They’re more vertical to use the space,” says Kozlowski.

Bluffs Regional Park headlines recreational opportunities

Lone Tree is just 18 miles from downtown Denver and all the mile-high city has to offer, but the city has a wide range of recreational opportunities and attractions closer to home. On the city’s southern edge, three miles of trails twist through Bluffs Regional Park, where hikers trek to the top of the Tepe Overlook to glimpse the Front Range. A network of trails weaves between community parks that feature playgrounds, baseball fields and basketball courts. The Lone Tree Golf Course & Hotel has a professional-level 18-hole course in a natural landscape with views of the Rockies. Originally a private golf course, it is now a public course operated by South Suburban Park and Recreation District, which serves three counties and six communities, including Lone Tree. “You’d never know it, it feels like a private course but its public,” says Kozlowski. “Lone Tree has a recreation center that is also run by South Suburban. They go into different areas but don’t brand them so it feels like a Lone Tree facility, but anyone can join it.” Bowling alleys, billiards, swimming pools and gym facilities are all available in the city, as is IFly Indoor Skydiving, an attraction with wind tunnels that create a body-in-flight experience. For arts and culture, the Lone Tree Arts Center presents live theatre and musical performances year-round.

Local economy thrives with large tax base and Charles Schwab headquarters

With tax revenue from the largest enclosed mall in the state, the city has put a lot of resources into its infrastructure. “They have a performing arts center, a library, anything you could want in a little area is there. For a town this size to have a performing arts center and all the other amenities is great,” says Kozlowski.

Charles Schwab opened a corporate office in Lone Tree in 2021. Schwab is the largest employer in the city, with a workforce of 4,500. Sky Ridge Medical Center is the next largest, with 3,000 employees, and the massive Park Meadows Retail Resort employs 2,000. Several Fortune 500 companies are located within a mile or two, including DISH Network and Arrow Electronics. “The young professionals and middle-aged professionals working in finance and the medical industry—they all live there,” says Kozlowski.
