Stapleton Foreclosures

Stapleton, now commonly known as Central Park, is a large master-planned neighborhood in northeast Denver built on the former Stapleton International Airport site. It sits east of Park Hill and north of Lowry, with I-70 along its northern edge and major connections such as Quebec Street, Central Park Boulevard, Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, and 56th Avenue tying it to the rest of the city.

The housing stock is broad and deliberately mixed. Investors will find detached single-family homes on compact lots, paired homes, townhomes, rowhomes, condominium buildings, and larger apartment communities. Many properties date from the early 2000s through recent construction, with contemporary floor plans, front porches, alley-loaded garages in many blocks, and higher-density housing clustered near retail and transit nodes.

The street character is more planned and uniform than Denver’s older urban neighborhoods. Blocks combine walkable residential streets, landscaped parkways, pocket parks, and larger open spaces, with commercial areas placed along key corridors rather than a traditional historic main street. Central Park, the neighborhood’s namesake open space, is one of the area’s major anchors, and the Central Park commuter rail station provides a direct transit connection toward downtown Denver and Denver International Airport.

Retail and services are concentrated in several nodes, including the area around The Shops at Northfield and mixed-use districts along Central Park Boulevard and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. For investors, Stapleton/Central Park functions as a large, newer infill neighborhood with a wide range of product types, from lower-maintenance townhome and condo options to detached homes designed for urban-suburban living within Denver city limits.
