Stapelton

Sitting on the former site of Stapleton Airport, this new neighborhood is the nation’s largest urban development. It weaves a tapestry of homes, shops, offices, parks, and schools all within walking distance in a community of classic city architecture. Stapleton features homes with front porches and garage access from alleys, open spaces/parks that serve as gathering places, tree-lined sidewalks, and village shops and restaurants. Built on the principles of New Urbanism, workplaces and cultural venues close to housing help to combat urban sprawl and accomplish Smart Growth goals.
