Stapleton was once home to Denver´s municipal airport. Today, the airport is gone and has been replaced by what is being called “New Urbanism”. As a result, this is a blend of residential properties with shopping, arts, culture, and sprawling parks. In fact, 30% of the land mass at Stapleton is dedicated to current and future public parks. For instance, there´s a public art master plan for Stapleton. It calls for the development of participatory, interactive art, as well as traditional art displays. Now called the Stapleton Community, there are 9 neighborhoods, 9 schools, and at least 50 parks, shopping and business districts, and even a new visitor center. In 2016, Stapleton officially connected to the Denver metro area by RTD’s A line, a commuter rail service.

Stapleton seems to be attracting residents who had lived in neighborhoods that were closer to downtown. They are drawn to the unique mix of housing along with urban sophistication. Developer Forest City calls it the “Urban Fusion” concept where residential homes are mixed with shopping, commercial buildings, restaurants and entertainment venues. It’s actually located in the City and County of Denver. So, it appeals to those who do not want to escape to the suburbs but still want modern, contemporary homes at an affordable price.

Brand new homes like this are available at Stapleton in Denver.
Although similar to Lowry as a brand new urban development project, Stapleton is unique. First, there are fewer homes above $700,000 here. Most of these residences are high-density homes and condominiums. Secondly, both areas share a town center concept which incorporates shopping and amenities centralized in a “Town-Center Setting”. Thirdly, Stapleton is unique in that it incorporates an office park concept as well as some light industrial uses.
