Central Park, known as Stapleton until it was renamed in 2020, was built on the grounds of Stapleton International Airport after the airport closed in 1995. The plan wove homes, town centers and an extensive network of parks and open space together, and it continues to grow north of I-70. The 29th Avenue Town Center, with its shops, restaurants and Founders Green, sits at its original heart.
Housing
What you’ll find
Homes range from lofts and condominiums near the town centers to rowhomes, detached homes on compact lots, and larger single-family homes in the newer sections. Because the neighborhood was built in phases over two decades, builder, year and HOA or metro-district structure vary by section and are worth comparing carefully.
Getting around
Location
I-70 and Quebec Street carry you downtown and east toward Denver International Airport; the A Line commuter train stops at Central Park Station. Anschutz Medical Campus is a short drive east.
