Building a Legacy
The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) named Painted Prairie, the 2022 National Community of the Year. This beautiful new community is a fresh alternative for aspiring residents wanting to live in a place where the revival of traditional styles and ways of life converge with the best current technology, elements, and influences. Its open spaces, mountain views, and unexpected living combine to create a diverse and exciting community where urban meets prairie, and all are welcome home.
Neo-traditional communities feature a diverse mix of single-family and multi-family homes and typically garner a higher resale value and greater appreciation than standard master-planned community design. Painted Prairie offers diverse product types, architectural styles, prices, and social diversity to create a highly desirable environment attracting multigenerational residents.
The Great Outdoors in Your Own Backyard
Painted Prairie’s award-winning landscaping design has created a park system unparalleled along Colorado’s Front Range. The abundant parks offer residents wide open spaces, community gardens, orchards, and other unique points of interest to create a sense of historical and cultural significance of the prairie in Colorado’s heritage.
It was important to Painted Prairie’s developers to install the parks prior to building homes allowing the landscape to take root early for residents to enjoy as soon as they moved into the neighborhood. Pocket parks dot the community, offering natural play and gathering spaces steps away from your front door. All parks and trails lead to the stunning 22-acre High Prairie Park where residents are greeted by sweeping mountain vistas, Denver’s signature skyline, and the prairie dunes.
Many more parks and green spaces are planned at Painted Prairie, including Prairie Retreat Park. This 35-acre park will be located on the final headgate of the historic 71-mile Highline Canal that connects to the broader regional trail system throughout the Denver Metro area.
Urban Excursions Within Walking Distance
At the heart of Painted Prairie will be the 55-acre Town Center featuring an urban park surrounded by curated restaurants, destination dining, boutique hotels, and the next great hot spots to gather with family, friends, and neighbors.
