Courtyard-style homes with front porches along the Westerly Creek greenway in Central Park, Denver

Westerly Creek: an original village in the heart of Central Park, Denver, CO

Westerly Creek is one of the first villages built in Central Park, Denver, Colorado, and it sits right in the middle of the neighborhood. Homes here went up in the early phases of the development, many of them arranged around shared courtyards, with the Westerly Creek greenway running through the village and the 80-acre Central Park just to the north.

What kinds of homes are in Westerly Creek?

Because Westerly Creek was part of the first wave of construction, its homes show the design ideas the whole neighborhood was built on. Many blocks face shared courtyards rather than the street, with front porches looking onto green space and garages tucked behind the houses on alleys. The architecture is traditional and varied, with craftsman, farmhouse, and classic Denver styles sitting side by side, in a mix of single-family homes, paired homes, and townhomes. Trees planted in those early years have had two decades to grow, so the streets feel more established and shaded than in the newer villages.
