Parker East is a growing area near nature and wildlife

The Rocky Mountains stand tall in the distant horizon of Parker East, a developing area surrounded by natural spaces and subdivisions. “There’s a lot of wildlife out there, like coyotes and raccoons,” says Jason J. Corriere, a broker and the owner of the Corriere Group with eXp, who has 22 years of experience. “It’s not crazy far, but it’s a way to get out of the hustle and bustle and then still be relatively close to modern amenities. You’re about 10 minutes from Mainstreet Parker.”

Training horses, trekking trails and tee times at private golf courses

The Windhoek Equestrian Center spans 40 acres on Parker Road, with two indoor arenas, two outdoor arenas and various trails. Riders can lease horses and choose from several lesson and training packages. Rates range from approximately $160 to $520. Tallman Meadow Park has a playground, baseball field and the trailhead for the bicycle-friendly Tallman Gulch Trail, totaling over 3 miles. The Sulphur Gulch Trail, accessible from Spirit Ridge Park, is also open to cyclists and runs for over 4 miles. Just west of the neighborhood, ponderosa pine trees and open meadows surround the private golfing greens at both the Black Bear and Colorado golf clubs.

Farmhouses and contemporary modern houses on multi-acre properties

After 2000, many custom single-family homes were built on multi-acre properties; some are horse-friendly and total over 5 acres. Since wildfire risk is elevated in this area, the county requires a Douglas County forester to conduct a Wildfire Hazard Assessment before development. Architectural styles include farmhouses, many of which have a New Traditional influence. Contemporary modern homes are also common. Some properties feature entertainment spaces with a pool and deck in the backyard.
Several homes have between three and four bedrooms, and others have as many as six or seven bedrooms. Depending on factors such as home size, prices range between $700,000 and $2.4 million. “They’re [on] domestic wells and septic out there,” Corriere says. “The county does maintain those roads, but access out there can be a little limited.”

The CAP Index Crime Score in Parker East is 1 out of 10, compared to a national average of 4.

Douglas County schools and concurrent enrollment at Legend High

Douglas County School District serves Parker East and offers open enrollment, allowing students to choose a school and attend it if there is capacity available. Neighborhood schools include Pioneer Elementary, Cimarron Middle and Legend High, all of which earn A-minus grades from Niche. Legend High School offers concurrent enrollment courses, such as introduction to criminal justice, through its partnership with Arapahoe Community College.

Roads to downtown, nearby medical offices and proximity to Denver

East Parker Road merges into Mainstreet, a segment of downtown Parker. Downtown includes O’Brien Park, where annual holiday events are held. Hilltop Road connects the area to South Parker Road, which is home to medical buildings. HCA Health One South Parker Emergency Room is at the intersection of South Parker and Hess roads, about 7 miles away. Denver is nearly a 30-mile drive, and Denver International Airport is a similar distance away.

Parker Road’s restaurant variety, downtown Parker and national stores

Parker East, near South Parker Road, has a King Soopers and a variety of strip malls with restaurants. Wolf Peach Public House features a rotating menu that incorporates seasonal and locally sourced ingredients into its brunch cuisine and small plates. Nearby, Bodega Beer Company hosts regular events, including improv comedy and trivia nights. Artisan Pizza Co., a locally owned business since 2017, and Hurts Donut Company are near Hess Road. Downtown Parker’s local shops and restaurants, a Kohl’s and Walmart are all within about a 10-mile drive.
