New Stapleton Library

Stapleton Library Coming Soon
Downtown Denver Library will open Stapleton Branch
In 2007, Denver’s citizens passed the ballot initiatives that established the Better Denver Bond program. The goal of the program is to improve, preserve, renovate and build new roads, libraries, parks, hospitals, public safety facilities, and cultural facilities. We are thrilled that Stapleton will finally get a new library as a result.
Our community has almost everything else to support a growing family. While schools have libraries for our children, most of us really wanted the expanded resources a branch of the Denver Library will provide. We will be able to order hard to find books, tapes and resources from the downtown Library. And, older kids will have a great resource for after-school research. Plus, a good library can be an important amenity for Stapleton real estate values. Read More→

Controversy in Denver's Stapleton neighborhood over medical marijuana.
Consternation and controversy among some Stapleton residents is brewing over a new use for a former coffee house. A medical marijuana dispensary is slated to occupy the former location of Perk and Play in Stapleton.
The irony is that Perk and Play was a neighborhood hang-out for mothers and their children. They served coffee, crepes and snacks and had a great indoor play area.
The medical marijuana dispensary is scheduled to open for business in the next few months. While the younger, single crowd at Stapleton might care less, families are more concerned about this new business and the risks it brings to our neighborhood. Read More→

Roberts School Serves Stapleton as part of Denver Public School
You may have read about the controversy in Stapleton over the school shortage.
I recently heard about a Realtor whose clients weren’t even expecting a child yet, but ruled out Stapleton because they heard that their unborn child may need to be bussed/dropped off to an outside neighborhood.
The good news is that the residents of Stapleton, Forest City – the developer of Stapleton, and Denver Public Schools are all working together to solve this problem with the short term and long term in mind.
There are currently 4 schools in Stapleton. Westerly Creek Elementary , William Roberts , Read More→

Most people think that Stapleton is a Mecca for young professionals with 2.2 kids and a dog.Or, maybe you think it of only a place for young, single people.
Stapleton appeals to many demographics for many different reasons. I recently began helping a couple moving to Stapleton to be closer to their daughter and granddaughter. Their family lives in neighboring Park Hill which is known as a quiet residential neighborhood with a somewhat aging population. Read More→
