For homebuyers seeking an active and exciting lifestyle, Centennial has a lot to offer.

Situated just 13 miles from Denver, Centennial, which was named to reflect Colorado’s admission as the 38th state when the United States celebrated the centennial of the Declaration of Independence, maintains a suburban charm while offering easy access to the state capital.

Likely the biggest reason for its popularity is the location. Homeowners here have the convenience of being close to downtown but still have that suburban feel.

The town of Centennial is long and narrow with odd boundaries. It is centrally located and offers residents access across the metro using E-470, Interstates 25 and 225, and public transit via the Dry Creek Station.

As we mentioned before, the location is ideal. With E-470, residents have easy access to the airport or Red Rocks without going through the I-25 corridor.

And with over 100 parks, trails, and recreational centers sprawled across 4,000 acres of open space, there is no shortage of outdoor activities.

Additionally, Centennial provides quality education opportunities with award-winning schools in the Cherry Creek and Littleton school districts.

Centennial offers a mix of primarily single-family homes built in the 1980s and 1990s. There’s little new construction within the city limits. Many home buyers choose to renovate to make their homes more modern, which creates more value in established neighborhoods.

In June, homes spent 17 days on the market and sold for a median price of $727,500. Condos and townhomes spent 10 days on the market and sold for a median price of $429,000.

Centennial’s highly rated schools appeal to families, especially those with younger children. And the community’s condos and townhomes appeal to empty nesters who seek something low maintenance.

If you’re looking for a place to call home that’s convenient to popular sites as well as offering that smaller-town feel, Centennial may be a great spot for you. Contact Metrowest today and we’d be happy to show you around!
