Ken Caryl Ranch is defined by its suburban amenities and lifestyle
Ken Caryl Ranch is an expansive, master planned community about 4 miles west of Columbine, with multiple subdivisions of well-kept homes and community parks, overseen by a master association. The neighborhood has an eastern and western region, split by Highway 470 and Hogback Mountain and commercial centers dot the area. “Ken Caryl Ranch isn’t just a place to live, it’s a lifestyle […] it’s one of the few places that truly feels like home the moment you arrive,” says Realtor Brean Small with eXp Realty, who has over 10 years of experience, lives in the neighborhood and has proudly sold over 100 Ken Caryl homes. “Buyers are drawn to Ken Caryl Ranch for its natural beauty, top rated schools and tight-knit community.”
Subdivisions of single-family homes from the ’80s and ’90s
Winding cul-de-sacs make up most of Ken Caryl Ranch’s subdivisions, where homes have maintained lawns, decorative trees and driveways that lead to garages. Most of the neighborhood’s recent sales have been in its western region. New Traditional multi-story homes are common, built in the 1980s and 1990s. Some are more contemporary, with simple exteriors and tucked-in garages, while others have Craftsman features such as front gables, pointed roofs and stone or brick accents. There are also a handful of contemporary single-story homes. Prices range from $825,000 to $1.3 million. Some properties are more estate-like with acreage and can get up to $1.6 million.
Ken Caryl Ranch’s eastern region also has a selection of New Traditional multi-story homes, though they are rarely listed on the market. There are also Colonial Revivals with simple brick or vinyl siding and symmetrical windows. Townhouses and duplexes are another option.
