With one of the fastest growing-rates in the United States, 40,000 residents are creating new businesses and enjoying new homes for sale in Parker.  Beautiful subdivisions such as Stonegate, Bradbury Ranch,  Hidden River, Canterberry, Clarke Farms, Cottonwood, Country Meadows, High Prairie Farms, Parker North, Pinery, Pinery Glen, Pradera, Rowley Downs, Stroh Ranch, Timbers, and Villages of Parker are woven through town.  Start your Colorado property search with a drive through this Douglas County real estate-or meet some folks along the plentiful walking paths or on a golf course-and experience the pretty Parker communities firsthand. 

The trail system, open space, and plentiful parks do have people out running, hiking, biking, rollerblading, and horseback riding, even getting a little wet fly-fishing or showshoeing!  Fitness and swimming programs make it easy to get moving.

Find out about the excitement!  What causes the people to be so active and involved?  In addition to the variety of activities sponsored by nonprofit organizations, churches, community groups, and charitable organizations, the government strongly encourages volunteerism.  Planting seeds like, "Another way to serve your community is by running for elected office," it encourages people to speak up, share ideas, and help to guide the community along.  Many people also volunteer in Douglas County Schools, which maintain one of the highest public-school ratings in the nation.  Several private charter schools add even more options for involvement.  And two local papers and a broadcast station try to keep folks abreast of the action!

Innovation seems to be in the blood here.  The University of Chaparral, a cooperative effort among the Douglas County school district, the Southeast Business Partnership, and three Denver-area colleges, offers college credits for high school and college students.  Putting heads together, computerized electronic chalkboards allow instructors and students to share screens-just one small example of a common ingenuity.  Additionally, two new hospitals with enhanced healing environments like rooms with mountain views, a therapeutic courtyard, and outdoor dining are now serving the community.

When it's time for a change, there are tickets galore.  Try a production at the children's theater, or maybe a dinner theater, or the Twenty-Mile Stadium Theater, a Cultural Commission venue, or a horse event at the Colorado Horse Park.  Mark your calendar for the Country Festival, the Business Expo, and the Country Christmas and be sure to take advantage of the proximity to the Mile High City for dining and entertainment options.

The expression "exurb" (for "extra-urban") was coined in the 1950s to describe the ring of prosperous rural communities beyond the suburbs that, due to availability via the new high-speed limited-access highways, were becoming dormitory communities for an urban area.  Many residents do opt for the convenient commute to the Denver Tech Center, Inverness Business Park and Meridian Office Park.  But this is now more than a dormitory community.  Strong "bulbs" of commerce have been planted and will continue to blossom and spread a colorful stability to an interesting town.  Thanks to the Arapaho, Cheyenne and Ute who walked these trails.  Thanks to the traders, trappers, frontiersmen, gold seekers and settlers who stuck it out.  And thanks to the hard-working visionaries who are seeing it through!
