The words 'green' and 'sustainable' conjure up a lot of emotions and preconceptions for people, but residents of Stapleton Real Estate have made it work well. Taking responsibility into their own hands, those who buy Stapleton homes have joined forces to create a community that has garnered a lot of local and national attention. Stapleton occupants are not only attracted to the modern, fresh homes and condos, but also to the notion of raising their family in a secure (yet incredibly hip) area.

Just northeast of downtown Denver and relatively new, Stapleton is a planned community consisting of six schools, twenty-four parks, three pools, 200 shops and 10,000 residents. Some of the unique touches throughout Stapleton include a large community garden, public art projects, block parties, The Front Porch Newspaper (Stapleton's own publication), a Farmer's market, and numerous exercise, social and educational clubs. The International Kite Festival at Central Park is a new tradition which is enjoyed by families.

Forest City, Stapleton's master builder, knew that being green and healthy isn't just about personal effort; it's also about careful planning and consideration. Stapleton has over 30% dedicated green space for recreation and bike paths, walkways, sidewalks and roads which were made from over 200,000 tons of recycled asphalt. The neighborhood also has a 93% recycle participation rate; the highest in all of metro Denver.

But what if sustainability isn't your mitigating factor? Stapleton has convenience too. The town center features unique bars and restaurants mixed with popular national chains. Parents can walk to morning yoga classes or stop to chat with neighbors at the local coffee shop. Young couples can have a pint at the Irish Pub or grab some late night sushi. Grocery stores, movie theaters and the expansive Northfield Stapleton mall are also part of the area. The Colorado Rapids, Denver's MLS team, plays just down the road at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, a multi-field and stadium soccer complex.

If commuting and commerce is your concern, Stapleton has instant access to I-70, easy access to I-25 and I-270 and is just 15 minutes from both Denver International Airport and the downtown section. The location makes both working and living extremely easy.

Whatever your reason for choosing Stapleton, it is certain that you will find a level of comfort, safety, community and conscientiousness rarely matched in another neighborhood.
