What is Central Park like?
Central Park stands where Stapleton International Airport operated until 1995. Home building began in 2001, and the neighborhood took its current name in 2020, after the 80 acre park at its center. The old control tower still stands.
Because everything was planned at once, the neighborhood has 1,100 acres of parks and open space threaded between the homes, with greenways, pools and pocket parks. Homes range from condos and row homes to large single family houses, most with a front porch and a garage on an alley.
Shops and restaurants gather at a few town centers, and the Central Park station on the A Line, open since 2016, connects to Union Station in one direction and Denver International Airport in the other.
Getting around
Downtown is about 20 minutes by car on Interstate 70 or Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The A Line reaches Union Station in about 15 minutes and the airport in about 25.

What should I check before buying in Central Park?
Four things our brokers look at first in this neighborhood.
Read the tax bill
Property taxes here include a metropolitan district levy that paid for streets and parks. Compare the full tax bill with a home in an older neighborhood.
Association fee
A community association maintains the pools and shared spaces, and every home pays into it. We get the current fee and rules before you offer.
Newer systems
A home from 2010 will not need a new sewer line or wiring. Do check the roof for hail history and ask about any builder warranty claims.
Affordable home program
Some homes carry resale restrictions under an income qualified program. We confirm whether a listing is one of them.
