Painted Prairie is a uniquely connected community with homes built for how you live. Our neo-traditional neighborhood embodies a new perspective on residential life, integrating a thoughtful mix of modern-amenity homes with the open spaces of a traditional hometown. This combination of what’s new and what always works has resulted in a truly bonded diverse, open, and engaged community.

Our world-class builders offer more than 50 floorplans and a range of creative architectural styles including a modern farmhouse, traditional and contemporary in multifamily and single-family builds. Every builder offers a menu of options and upgrades that allow each buyer to customize their new space, and many homes offer alley-load garages creating streetscapes and park perimeters with a front-porch focus. Models and design centers are open daily.

Painted Prairie is anchored by the 22-acre High Prairie Park, a showpiece that reflects the spirit of our neighborhood’s focus on open space. With sweeping views of the Rocky Mountain range, this vast expanse features whimsical play areas, a great lawn, thoughtful prairie-appropriate landscaping, several covered gathering spaces, ski chair swings, one of our many community gardens and space to walk, wander, and explore. This nod to nature is echoed throughout the community in numerous pocket parks, community gardens, and trails. At Painted Prairie, you’re never far from green spaces to roam, play, and relax.

Perfectly positioned in the heart of Aurora’s booming aerotropolis, Painted Prairie enjoys easy access to Denver International Airport, the Gaylord Rockies Resort, the A-Line Rail, E-470, 56th Avenue, and I-70, serving as your hub for all things Colorado. With new and existing businesses flocking to our region, you’ll love your simple commutes to and from work.

With all we have to offer already, Painted Prairie is just getting started. Our recently completed dog park, Prairie Paws Park, offers enclosed space for small and larger dogs and their owners to meet and mingle. More parks will soon join it, including the 35-acre Prairie Retreat Park, which will be located at the final headgate of the High Line Canal and offering multiple educational and recreational spaces for residents and visitors. Also in the works is the Town Center, an urban oasis featuring townhome living, multiple hotels, coffee shops, restaurants, green space, and more.

As we look to the future, we do so with great excitement knowing that Painted Prairie, and its current and future residents, will continue to uphold our vision of an authentically connected community that welcomes everyone home.
