Central Park, Denver, Colorado: the complete resident guide
Homes, villages, prices, and everyday life in Denver's Central Park neighborhood, written and filmed by Lewi Gault, who lives here.
Central Park is a master-planned neighborhood in northeast Denver, Colorado, built on the site of the former Stapleton International Airport. About 30,000 people live here across 12 distinct villages, with more than 50 parks, 7 community pools, and over 60 miles of trails. This site is the resident-level guide to living, buying, and selling in Central Park, Denver, written and filmed by Lewi Gault, who lives here.
People move here for the combination that is hard to find elsewhere in Denver: front-porch neighborhoods where kids bike to school, a huge park and trail system, community pools and events run by the Master Community Association, and town centers with grocery stores, restaurants, and coffee shops inside the neighborhood. The trade-offs are real too, and this site covers them honestly: HOA and MCA fees, smaller lots in the older villages, and SchoolChoice competition for the most requested schools.
