Stapleton - An Overview
Just ten minutes from downtown Denver is the planned community of Stapleton – undoubtedly, it is a great example of a new kind of urban development. Originally, before it was renovated into a residential lot – it was an old airfield by the name of Stapleton International Airport. Stapleton developers began in 2001 a 15-year project of reclaiming and recycling the land to create a vibrant suburban community. Plotted with tree-lined streets, parks, traditional architecture and front porches – this area is indeed very much accessible and as some put it – “walkable.” Thirty percent of the community’s 47K acres are dedicated green space and with most homes less than a ten minute walk from shops, schools and offices, there are plenty of places to go. Housing options range from a low $100k town homes all the way to $1m estates making it easy for all kinds of folks to call Stapleton their home.
