From pastures to new builds
Appleridge Estates may have a cemetery at its core, but that hasn’t hindered the growth of this outlying neighborhood of Denver. In fact, companies like Richmond American Homes and Toll Brothers are building new contemporary, single-family homes and townhouses, which stand out against the midcentury modern homes sprawled along the neighborhood’s western side. “This is a dynamic area that’s changing quickly,” says Sue Perrault, managing broker at West and Main Homes Inc., who lives in a neighborhood subdivision. “There used to be pasture behind my house, and now it’s developed. You can get more home for the money here. With the light rail connecting to Denver, commuters are more open to living outside the city.”
On the outskirts of West Denver, Applewood Estates is seeing some big changes.
Applewood Estates is just 15 miles from downtown Denver.

Western acres and eastern development
Ranch-style houses featuring natural stone siding, mature trees and mountain views are the most common homes on the western side of the neighborhood closest to Mount Olivet Catholic Cemetery. They often sit on a third or more acres of land and can sell for as much as $1.3 million. “When you’re close to the mountains, you can definitely spend some money,” says Jesse Lynch, owner of the Welcome-to-Denver real estate team and host of a popular YouTube channel of the same name. Moving from west to east, pricing options widen thanks to all the new construction. New modern townhouses sell for around $700,000, and new craftsman-style homes top out at around $900,000. Many homes are still under construction but attract buyers with gourmet kitchens and finished basements. For commuters, townhouses near Ward Road are especially appealing because of their proximity to the light rail station, which can get riders to Downtown Denver in about 30 minutes.
