Suburb situated between green space and commercial areas
Deer Run is a Central Thornton neighborhood with mature trees along residential streets, situated between various retail centers and parks. “This is a great spot for first-time homebuyers because it’s a good opportunity to get that entry-level price point for the area,” says Lauren Rowland, a broker with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Kenney & Company since 2013. “Also, with its location in Thornton, you’re within 30 minutes of downtown Denver for anybody needing to commute. It’s a good in-between location since Boulder is also about 30 minutes away.”
The Deer Run neighborhood is located in Thornton, north of Downtown Denver.
Deer Run is located near many trails, parks and green spaces.

Trails, paddle boat rentals and Thorntonfest
Although Deer Run’s trail and neighborhood playground are the extent of its recreational options, many public green spaces and parks are nearby. Trail Winds Park is just north of the neighborhood and has multiuse fields, a popular skate park and a recreation center with a pool. Nearly two miles of trail loop around the reservoir at Eastlake Shores Park, west of Deer Run. Many city-sponsored events are held at Carpenter Park, including Thorntonfest in early June and the three-day WinterFest event in mid-December. Both events include food vendors, a marketplace with local artisans and activities for children. The park is popular for its playground and athletic facilities year-round and seasonal amenities, including paddleboat rentals and carousel rides.

Denver commutes, RTD buses and airport access
Regional Transportation District (RTD) bus stops dot 128th Avenue and nearby thoroughfares, including 120th Avenue and Colorado Boulevard. “Deer Run has proximity to several light rail stations, so if somebody is interested in the city for work or fun and wants to be in the urban part of town, it’s a super quick light rail directly to Union Station in Denver,” Rowland says. Interstate 25 runs west of the neighborhood, connecting the community to Denver, about 18 miles south. North of Deer Run, Extension 470—or “E-470”—travels about 20 miles east to the Denver International Airport, with direct flights to domestic and international cities.
