Some of the most popular real estate in Castle Rock, Colorado is the subdivision of Founders Village. Located south of Highway 86 off Ridge Road, the Founders Village community features a variety of moderately priced homes for families wanting to purchase Castle Rock real estate. They can tour large condominiums going for about $150,000, single-family Castle Rock homes running between $180,000 and $350,000. Buyers can choose larger lots or low-maintenance lots. And they can find older homes built in 1986 alongside brand new homes and vacant lots in Founders Village. (Ask about The Meadows, another lively community close by.)
With the recreational amenities of Castlewood Canyon State Park to the southeast and the Douglas County seat amenities to the west, families find that these Founders Village homes in Castle Rock offer them wonderful neighborhood schools, parks, and swimming pools; a clean environment, the beauty of the Front Range, and the bustle of enterprising Coloradans all around.
Residents will find a broad selection of activities nearby including some of the best golf courses anywhere. If one of your pastimes is shopping, fear not. The Historic Wilcox Square, Village Shopping Center, Plum Creek Center, and the Outlets will oblige. But you could burn more calories at the 64,000-square-foot recreation center, in the 400 acres of town parks and open space.
Whatever home is purchased, everyone enjoys the ideal setting near the picturesque town and easy access to Interstate 25 and further employment opportunities 15 miles away at the Denver Tech Center, 40 miles away in Colorado Springs and all around the Mile High City to the north. The enterprising population finds livelihood from a diverse number of industries—from high-tech to ranching, to military to hospitality.
In addition to the top-rated Douglas County Schools like Rock Ridge and Castle Rock that serve the community, there are private and parochial schools in the area.
Many have heard of the community because of famous concerts held at the Red Rocks Amphitheater to the west, i.e. The Beatles during the 1970s. Others make their way to Pike’s Peak where familiar lyrics from “America, the Beautiful” were penned. It is still possible to happen upon the community and its robust real estate market. The median price for a single-family home is $249,798—and that’s with spectacular views thrown in. Those views and the rhyolite mines drew the railroad into the area in the 1870s and some never wanted to leave.
Because they stuck around, the historic town today offers an unmatched small-town spirit. Downtown is alive and well every day but really lights up during special events. The entire extended family and friends opt to visit during the annual Art Festival, the Ducky Derby and StreetFest, the Daddy-Daughter Dance, the Little Britches Rodeo, and so many more fun festivities.
