Centennial Real Estate South of Denver

Wonderfully convenient, Centennial real estate lies in a prime location south of downtown Denver. Residential options combine well-kept suburban and semi-rural neighborhoods. Add the collection of excellent schools, groomed parks, and a positive business atmosphere and know why homebuyers seek properties in Centennial.

Centennial is a young city. In 2001, the City of Centennial began through a vote of 100,000 citizens from a mix of thriving neighborhoods in Arapahoe County. It was the largest incorporation of its kind in the history of the United States. Centennial received national recognition in Government Magazine. In addition, low crime rates contribute to its strong community vibe.

Centennial Real Estate Market

You’ll notice a variety of eras and home styles in the Centennial real estate market. Take your pick. There are luxury condominiums, older homes with large yards, and brand new golf-course homes. Properties and neighborhoods flow in and out of bordering towns. Centennial touches Aurora, Englewood, Foxfield, Greenwood Village, Highlands Ranch, Littleton, Lone Tree, and Parker! At times, it’s a bit of a patchwork.

Leisure Activities in Centennial

Situated at an elevation of 5,830 feet, the Centennial community offers many wonderful places to relax. A state-of-the-art recreation center offers an extensive list of programming and activities. Residents may be out picnicking at neighborhood parks. Notable is the 880-acre lake in Cherry Creek State Park. Some take to boating and water sports or fishing and camping. And everyone wins on the golf courses where majestic views of the Rocky Mountain Front Range reign supreme.

Employment and Transportation

For employment, residents have convenient access to the Denver Tech Center, Inverness, and other business parks. There’s a bustling business district in the city. Downtown Denver is only minutes away. Adjacent to Centennial city limits, the Centennial Airport, provides transport services and private aircraft. Plans in progress will also improve transportation to the Denver International Airport.

The light rail system serves many areas also. It circulates through the Denver Metro area. Get to work, shopping, and to cultural and sporting venues. And connect to the scenic ride on the Ski Train and the shuttles heading to world-class ski areas in the Rocky Mountains.

Schools in Centennial Colorado

Two districts–Cherry Creek School District and Littleton Public Schools–serve families residing in Centennial. Highly acclaimed private schools include Belleview Christian School and Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran School. These institutions act as social centers for friendly camaraderie among all schools.

Ever Improving

The incorporation process started to improve the quality of life in the area. Over the years, the city has taken many steps forward. In 2008 citizens approved a new home-rule charter. They’ve also developed “Our Voice, Our Vision, Centennial 2030.” This plan aims to turn hopes and dreams into reality. They continue to be forward-thinking planners and executors, organized by homeowners’ associations. They’re integrating high-tech methods to help, too. This is indeed a place “where tomorrow is better than yesterday.”
