Studies within a top-rated district and private school

Douglas County School District serves Challenger Park Estates, earning an A-minus grade from Niche, which also ranks it as the third-best in Denver. Mammoth Heights Elementary School earns a B-plus grade from Niche. Sierra Middle School and Chaparral High School both earn A-minus grades. High schoolers can try out for various sports, including flag football and field hockey. “Douglas County School District has the International Baccalaureate (IB) program and a ton of intermural sports to the point where you better slow down your kid on how many sports they do, or else you won't have a life as parents,” says Robert Tait, a broker with Engel & Völkers with over 15 years of experience. Nearby, A-plus-graded Southeast Christian School shares a building with Southeast Christian Church, where kindergarten through eighth-grade students receive a private education with Biblical integration.

Drives around the community and Downtown Parker

The local thoroughfare Jordan Road runs north along the neighborhood’s west side to Extension 470, a toll road. Known locally as “E-470” it leads to the Denver International Airport, about 25 miles north. Local broker Phillip Booghier with LIV Sotheby’s International Realty says that E-470 is not as popular as other routes around Denver since it operates primarily as a path to the airport, but traffic is typically minimal. E-470 also connects the neighborhood to state Highway 83, or “Parker Road,” which leads to the nearest hospital AdventHealth Parker. Additionally, another local thoroughfare is Lincoln Avenue. “Lincoln is the busiest road during commuting times because everyone drives Lincoln up to I-25 to get to work,” Tait says. Additionally, the Regional Transportation District (RTD) provides bus services along Lincoln Avenue, Jordan Road and Mainstreet.

Stonegate shopping centers and access to Downtown Parker

Since the community has no designated shopping area, a short drive to nearby strip malls is necessary. The Crossing at Stonegate has a King Soopers and various fast food chains, including Wendy’s and Cold Stone Creamery. Locally owned businesses, such as consignment store Cotton Kloset, and restaurants, including Stonegate Cafe and Bourbon, Brews, Burgers, are in the Stonegate Village Center shopping plaza. Downtown Parker’s Mainstreet is about 4 miles east, dotted with additional boutiques, cafes and casual eateries.
Challenger Park Estates residents can run to King Soopers for their grocery needs.
