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.
