What makes Painted Prairie special?
So, so, so much. This neighborhood was built with green space in mind. There are over 30+ acres of open space throughout the neighborhood. Painted Prairie was awarded the nationwide Best Landscape Community in 2022 (not bad, huh!). There are currently 8 builders with over 30 floor plans available in the neighborhood starting from the mid $400ks up to $1m.
On top of the stellar location and amazing views, my favorite aspect of the neighborhood is, hands down, the residents of this neighborhood. There is a real community vibe happening in Painted Prairie and I’m here for it. In the summers you will find movies in the park, friends and neighbors playing volleyball, cornhole, and bbq-ing together. There are also wonderful farmers markets once a month and don’t miss out on the annual harvest festival. Fabulous festival getting bigger and bigger every year. The party planners in Painted Prairie know what they’re doing!
Why should you consider Painted Prairie?
Other than the wide variety of homes in a beautifully landscaped neighborhood, Painted Prairie is conveniently located close to all major hubs of employment in the Denver/Aurora metro area. Some major nearby employers include Denver International Airport (DIA), Buckley Space Force Base, Colorado Air and Space Port, Anschutz Medical Center, Rocky Mountain VA Hospital, and more. Painted Prairie is approximately 10 minutes from DIA, 20 minutes to downtown, 20 minutes to the Denver Tech Center, and 30 minutes to Boulder. Major highways such as I-70, I-225, and E-470 make getting to and from these areas a breeze.

My introduction to Painted Prairie came from builders in the Central Park neighborhood, and let me tell you, I couldn’t resist exploring what they were raving about. Spoiler alert: I fell head over heels for this neighborhood! It’s a true gem with breathtaking views.
Now, I’m your go-to person for Painted Prairie real estate here at Compass, handling both new builds and resale homes. I’ve had the incredible opportunity to guide my clients through the thrilling (sometimes a bit overwhelming) journey of designing and building a new home with top-notch builders like David Weekley, KB, Wonderland, Lennar, and more. From picking the perfect lot to navigating contracts, managing deadlines, tackling the design center process, and even geeking out over data to provide clear insights into the final home price (because let’s face it, builders often give rough estimates for upgrades), I’m all about making the new build process a breeze!
