Stapleton Real Estate
Take your pick of houses and lifestyles; this community has it all. Stapleton homes range from townhouses and condos starting in the low $200s, all the way up to Tuscan Mansion homes for one million or more. So regardless of your stage of life – first time homebuyer, empty-nester, modern couple or growing family – Stapleton has a home for you.
Stapleton Amenities
Stapleton real estate currently covers five maturing neighborhoods, all with their own amenities, like: pocket parks, pools and a local dog park. And while yards are smaller, nearly 30% of Stapleton is dedicated to open and green space so you get all the grass you need”¦without having to mow it. There are also six new schools serving Stapleton homeowners – including three charter schools – with a seventh scheduled to open for the 2011 school year. An interchange from I-70 is expected to be operational in late 2011 and a light rail station is planned to open 2016; until then, the trails woven throughout Stapleton link to a regional network that will let you bike all over the metro area.
Looking around, it’s hard to believe that Stapleton used to be Denver’s airport. What was once runways and terminals bustling with travelers, is now a place that people call home. Though the project has a timeline that spans 15 years and 4,700 acres, Stapleton already has nearly 10,000 residents that enjoy the mixed-use aspect of living in an urban neighborhood. That means leaving the car at home and using “people power” to: take your kids to school; have drinks or dinner in the town center; enjoy concerts, movies, the Farmer’s Market or Sweet William Market at Founder’s Green. This – and a lot more – is all just a walk or bike ride away at Stapleton.
