Parker
Among the rolling hills and ponderosa pines, just 20 miles southeast
of Denver, is the town of Parker. According to popular legend, Parker
can trace its colorful history to the establishment of the Pine Grove
Way Station around 1863. As a stage stop and later railroad depot, it
was a Denver outpost. Today, it is still a Denver outpost. Located in
the heart of horse country, it is the home of many equestrian centers.
For
those seeking a horse property or ranch-style home, Elizabeth and Kiowa
feature acres and acres of Colorado vistas. In "downtown" Parker, the
new Parker Station, a commercial center with offices, shops and restaurants,
is on the site of the original train depot. Known for its trademark
five-globe streetlights, Parker has 20,000 residents and is continuously
growing. Just minutes away is Canterbury golf course, selected in 1997
as one of the top 10 "Best New Affordable Courses" by Golf Digest. The
Perry Park Country Club area and The Pinery also offer golf course homes
with panoramic views.
The Parker area offers a wide variety of housing choices. Single-family
homes, ranch properties and subdivisions with newer homes can be found
in Canterbury Crossing, Pinery Pointe, Stonegate and Quail Creek. Upscale
living featuring executive homes and large estates can be found in Centennial
Ranch, Evans Ranch and High Prairie Farms. For those 300 acres you need,
try hidden country roads. Parker offers a wonderful Colorado urban/rural
lifestyle!
