Parker Colorado real estate, though considered a subsection of Denver, is actually a little over 20 miles southeast of the city in Douglas County. With an ideal placement between downtown metro Denver and Colorado Springs, CNN's Money Magazine has named Douglas County not only one of the best areas in the country to live, but also an area with some of the largest job growth over the past eight years. Major companies such as Charles Schwab have taken notice and set up branches in the area.

For this reason, Douglas County has seen a 120 percent population increase from the years 1990 to 2000, meaning more money and amenities have been poured into the area to make it an attractive place for families and couples alike. With a population of 48,000, Parker has gained the services and stores needed to accommodate a fully functioning town, but also provides the quaint atmosphere that people in the area still desire. The downtown Victorian aesthetic makes Parker look uniquely different than anything else around.

Planned architecture and immaculate community centers could make Parker seem untouched, but Parker's cultural events and Commission groups have helped turn the area into a warm and inviting district for Parker home buyers to learn, explore, exercise and meet new families. Events such as the Concerts in the Park (in August) and the Kids Kulture (the third Saturday of each month) are quickly becoming honored traditions with each passing event. Other entities such as the Parker Fieldhouse will provide state of the art recreational facilities for town residents to use within the convenience of their own homes.

In fact, according to the official Parker website, a set of town goals have been put into place to even further enhance the quality of life:

Objectives:

• Continue development of partnership with the Douglas Public Library District in an effort to develop and fund the Civic Center / Library campus.
• Convene a group to recommend options for future of the Mainstreet Center once the Cultural Arts facility is completed.
• Design and construction of Parker Police facility.
• Convene to pursue partnership opportunities to develop needed facilities including aquatic and ice.
• Continue implementation of History, Public Art and the Community Identity Enhancement Plans
• Construction of a Dog Park.

As Colorado residents, those who live in Parker also realize the importance of maintaining green space for exercise and play. Parker has dedicated 200 acres of park and 700 acres of open space within the 19 square miles which the town occupies. The insistence to uphold these natural areas is a characteristic of Colorado which has made it a highly popular relocation state for those who seek the healthy and active lifestyle.
