Discover Parker’s blend of small-town charm and Western heritage
Parker is a growing community with rural properties and a strong Western heritage. It offers a variety of activities and events with a small-town feel.
The community also ranks No. 11 on Opendoor’s list of the 20 hottest ZIP codes in the U.S. Parker, the second largest community in Douglas County, climbed from No. 20.
Jen Patchen with Opendoor in Colorado Springs said Parker’s location is appealing because it’s convenient to Denver and offers highway access to get to the mountains for skiing. “There’s a lot of new construction that offers turnkey homes,” Patchen said.
Parker attracts buyers who want a reasonable commute to Denver, said Janell Arant with West + Main Homes.
“Parker is a quickly growing community just 20 miles southeast of Denver. It has been thoughtfully master-planned but retains a big open sky and a hometown feel. The spirit of the West is alive and well here with its historic downtown Main Street and rolling rural hills,” she said.
What’s available?
New construction in the Parker area is expected to add 12,000 new homes in the next decade.
“The town of Parker is preparing for a higher than average growth spurt in the next 10 years with more new home communities continuing to take shape everywhere across its 22.4 square miles,” Arant said.
In addition to new homes, the community also has condos, paired homes, and rural horse properties.
Home prices range from $292,000 for a one-bedroom condo to the median sales price of $818,999 for a five-bedroom home and up to $4.25 million for a new, custom-built home on acreage in the Colorado Golf Club community.
The median price for homes on the market is $819,000.
“Existing home sales are coming off of a 63 median ‘days on market’ seasonal lull,” Arant said. “And inventory is picking up again, right on cue for a predicted early spring selling season.”
Who’s moving in?
Parker appeals to buyers of all ages.
“Parker offers something for every age group,” Arant said. “Overall, people live here because it’s more affordable than being in the heart of Denver.”
What Parker offers
Parker offers 38 miles of interconnecting trails, including horseback riding, wide open spaces, recreation centers, and the Rueter Hess Reservoir and Incline.
It also offers outdoor concerts, Parker Days Festival, Parker Fall Fest, the Holiday Lighting ceremony at O’Brien Park, and the Hometown Holiday Experience.
Parker also boasts a rich arts and cultural scene, Arant said. The PACE Center offers year-round theatrical performances, concerts, an art gallery, a dance studio, and culinary classrooms.
