Central Park (formerly Stapleton) has become Denver’s model for modern, park-focused living. Here, every home is just steps from pocket parks, swim clubs, playgrounds, and a network of trails that stretch for miles. Residents love the “small town in the city” vibe—community events, local farmers’ markets, and bike rides to shops in Northfield or the 29th Avenue Town Center. Scroll down for Central Park home listings, or explore other nearby Denver neighborhoods like Lowry, Park Forest, or Aurora.
Contemporary single-family homes, townhomes, luxury rowhouses, and apartments—many with front porches and private courtyards.
Notable Features Lifestyle & LocationCentral Park is a true original—built on the old Stapleton airport grounds, it’s now one of Denver’s most thoughtfully designed neighborhoods. With more than 50 parks, playgrounds, and sports fields, the area is a green oasis in the heart of the city. Trails connect each pocket of the community, making it easy to run, walk, or bike just about anywhere. The local dog parks, farmers markets, and community festivals fill weekends with activity and neighborly connection. Public art installations and creative playgrounds are found on nearly every corner, lending Central Park its playful, welcoming vibe.
Few neighborhoods match Central Park’s access to green space. The 80-acre Central Park anchors the community, with splash pads, climbing walls, sports fields, and shaded picnic spots. Seven outdoor pools, several swim clubs, tennis courts, and a skate park provide endless options for fitness and fun. Trails connect to Sand Creek Greenway and Westerly Creek, making it easy to get outdoors no matter the season.
At the heart of Central Park’s walkable design are its bustling town centers. The 29th Avenue Town Center and Eastbridge Town Center offer independent coffee shops, breweries, yoga studios, and local restaurants—most with patios perfect for a sunny afternoon. Northfield provides big-box shopping, boutiques, a movie theater, and seasonal events like car shows or holiday markets. The neighborhood’s local farmers’ market is a weekly favorite, drawing neighbors from nearby Lowry and Aurora for Colorado produce and live music.
The area is also highly accessible: Light rail and bus routes offer easy commutes to downtown Denver, while I-70 and Central Park Boulevard connect residents to the Anschutz Medical Campus and the airport. It’s said that in Central Park, you’ll find a genuine sense of belonging, no matter where you’re from.

Central Park homes do not necessarily have the same association structure or monthly costs. Some properties may also belong to a separate sub-association associated with a condominium, townhome, rowhome, paired home, or particular filing.
The Central Park Master Community Association’s 2026 schedule lists monthly assessments of $58 for regular for-sale residential units and $31 for affordable for-sale residential units. A home’s applicable category, sub-association membership, additional dues, and included services should be confirmed in its current governing documents.
A Central Park purchase may involve more than the sales price and monthly assessments. The MCA currently describes a community fee based on the purchase price, plus a $200 working-capital fee and a $200 administrative transfer fee collected from the buyer. The community fee is negotiable between buyer and seller. Confirm all current amounts and payment responsibilities in the transaction documents.
Community pools are open to the public, but monthly assessments do not automatically include admission. Residents current on association dues may purchase an annual Active Pass; residents without one pay daily admission. The current primary owner or renter pass is $40. Verify current pricing and terms if pool access matters to your comparison.
