Space to breathe, access to top-rated schools, and none of the HOA drama

Most people have never heard of Foxfield, Colorado. And that’s exactly what makes it special.


Tucked between Centennial, Parker, and Aurora, Foxfield is one of those rare places where you can find acreage lots, mountain views, and custom homes all within 30 minutes of downtown Denver. No tract housing. No giant developments. Just space, serenity, and a small-town charm that feels like Colorado used to.


Here’s why Foxfield deserves a serious look if you’re buying a home and want privacy, schools, and long-term value without giving up convenience.



1. The Lifestyle: Country Living Meets City Access


Foxfield is the kind of place where neighbors wave, dogs roam big backyards, and you can actually hear birds, not traffic, when you wake up.


But it’s not rural isolation. Foxfield is strategically located near Arapahoe Road and Parker Road, making it easy to commute or head to nearby shopping centers, restaurants, and trail systems.


You’re:


And you don’t have to fight through suburb traffic just to pick up groceries or take your kid to practice.



2. The Homes: Custom Builds, Big Lots, and No Cookie-Cutter Developments


Unlike neighboring communities with 3,000-square-foot homes crammed onto 6,000-square-foot lots, Foxfield offers:

  • 1- to 2-acre lots

  • Custom-built homes (many built between the 1980s–2000s)

  • Room for horses, gardens, or that detached garage you’ve always wanted


Most homes in Foxfield have been lovingly maintained by long-term owners, which means pride of ownership is high, and so is resale value.


There’s no HOA, no architectural committee breathing down your neck, and no three-color siding regulations. Want to put in a chicken coop or plant a vineyard? Have at it.



3. The Schools: Part of Cherry Creek School District (Yes, Really)


Despite its small-town vibe, Foxfield is part of the top-ranked Cherry Creek School District, which consistently ranks among the best in the state.


Zoned schools often include:


Grandview is one of the most sought-after high schools in the Denver metro, especially for academics, athletics, and college prep.


Even if you don’t have kids, being in a top-tier school district adds long-term value to your investment. It keeps buyer demand high and property values stable.



4. The Amenities: What You Need Without the Noise


Foxfield doesn’t have commercial centers or rows of businesses, and that’s by design. But it’s surrounded by everything you need within 10 minutes, including:

• Southlands Mall for shopping, dining, movie nights, and community events

• Cherry Creek State Park for biking, boating, and weekend hikes

• Piney Creek Trail System connecting to regional paths

• E470 & Parker Road for quick access to DIA and other major routes


Need a Costco run or quick dinner spot? Centennial and Aurora are right next door, without being on top of you.



5. Who Moves to Foxfield — And Who Stays


Most people don’t “pass through” Foxfield. They move here for a reason and stay because there’s nowhere quite like it.


You’ll find:

• Families wanting more room for their kids and pets

• Professionals looking to decompress after a day in DTC

• Retirees downsizing from ranches but not ready for HOA-controlled living

• Hobby farmers, workshop owners, and folks who just want space


Foxfield offers a blend of freedom and community, with the kind of neighborly culture that’s getting harder to find along the Front Range.



Bonus: Appreciation and Long-Term Value


Because of its low inventory, custom homes, and proximity to Cherry Creek schools, home values in Foxfield have remained strong even through market fluctuations.

  • Most homes sell between $900K–$1.5M, depending on updates and lot size

  • Days on market tend to be lower than those in surrounding acreage neighborhoods

  • Inventory is limited, which keeps supply down and demand steady


In short, this is a buy-and-stay kind of place. If you’re looking for a fast flip, Foxfield isn’t for you. But if you’re looking for long-term lifestyle and value, it’s one of the smartest plays in the southeast metro.



Final Word: Foxfield Isn’t for Everyone... and That’s the Point!


If you want walkable breweries, high-rise apartments, and a bustling nightlife… keep driving. But if you’re looking for a place where you can breathe, build, and live with a little more space and a lot more freedom, Foxfield delivers.


You get:

  • Top-tier schools

  • Acreage lots

  • A true sense of privacy

  • And access to everything that makes the southeast metro great, without the congestion
