Suburban neighborhood with an active community
Quail Valley’s quiet streets are lined with similar-looking single-family homes, just 10 miles north of Thornton’s town center and about 10 miles west of Brighton. The planned residential neighborhood was established in 2002 and is looked after by the Quail Valley Owners Association. “It’s a really active community. We have a lot of open space and parks that are well-maintained,” says Real Estate Agent Melissa Lombardo with Coldwell Banker Realty, a resident of the neighborhood. Multiple walking and biking trails wind through the area and connect the parks together.
Single-family homes from the 2000s
Most homes in Quail Valley sit along wide streets with sidewalks and cul-de-sacs. Grassy front lawns adorn the properties, with decorative trees adding to the landscape. “One thing that differentiates our community from others are the lot sizes. Quail Valley typically has larger lots compared to the surrounding neighborhoods,” Lombardo says. Contemporary Craftsman homes built in the 2000s are common, with bright colors, multiple gabled roofs and a front porch area. Some of these homes are single-story, while others have multiple levels. New Traditional multi-story homes are another housing type, although these tend to feature Craftsman influences, such as pointed roofs and attached garages. Prices range from $550,000 to $775,000, depending on property size.

From there, students can head to Rocky Top Middle School, which has a B-plus and offers computer science and film studies electives. Mountain Range High School receives a B grade and provides a High School of Business program, where students can earn dual college credits for business classes. “The Adams 12 school district draws a lot of people to the neighborhood,” Lombardo says. A little over a mile from the neighborhood is the Stargate Charter School, which receives an A-plus and teaches kindergarten through 12th grade. Niche ranks Stargate as the No. 1 best public high school in Colorado.
Neighborhood parks, golf courses and green spaces
A handful of pocket parks bring recreation to Quail Valley as part of the neighborhood’s owner association amenities. Quail Valley Park has a playground with swings and an open field. A toddler park farther south is a bit smaller, with a jungle gym for younger kids. These green spaces are connected by a multi-use pathway that winds throughout the neighborhood.Over a mile south on York Street is the Northern Lights Ball Fields, where the Northern Lights Little League team practices and plays games. The area also has picnic shelters for spectators. Thorncreek Golf Course is almost 3 miles southwest and has a 9-hole public course. About 4 miles away is the McKay Lake Park & Open Lands. Fishing is allowed on the lake, and hiking and biking trails circle the area. Multiple nature-themed climbing structures make up a playground.
Celebrating the Quail Valley community with events
The Quail Valley neighborhood consists of 420 residential properties that are watched after by the Quail Valley 1,2 & 3 Owners Association. This group also maintains the common areas and walking trails. Additionally, there is a separate social committee that plans events for the neighborhood. According to Lombardo, who is a member of the committee, they will host movie nights at the parks and holiday events like an Easter egg hunt.
Nearby shopping malls and outlet centers
While the neighborhood itself is primarily residential, many shopping and dining opportunities are close by. “We’re really close to Interstate 25, so as far as shops and restaurants go, it’s really accessible,” Lombardo says. The Orchard Town Center is an expansive outdoor mall over 2 miles west with national retailers like Lululemon and Nordstrom, and big-box stores like Target. Chain restaurants include 3 Margaritas, serving traditional Mexican cuisine, and Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar. For entertainment, an AMC movie theater has the latest film showings. South of 144th Avenue are multiple fast-food options like Chick-fil-A and Smashburger. The Grove Shopping Center is across the street with Boot Barn and Cabela’s. About 3 miles southwest of Quail Valley is the Denver Premium Outlets. High-end name-brand stores in the area include Nike, Michael Kors and Banana Republic.
