Welcome To Castle Pines
Venturing into the mountains doesn't mean sacrificing luxury in Castle Pines. Tucked into Colorado's Front Range amidst rugged formations, the city offers breathtaking views of Pikes Peak from its elevated houses and renowned golf courses situated nearly 7,000 feet above sea level.
Locals colloquially distinguish between Castle Pines North and Castle Pines. The older and more affordable homes are found in the northern section, featuring typical suburban designs from the 1990s. Prices for these residences range from the high $600,000s to $4 million.
To the south of the parkway lie homes intertwined with Castle Pines Golf Club and Country Club at Castle Pines. Many of these residences are situated within the city's premier luxury gated community, the Village at Castle Pines. Governed by strict covenants, these neighborhoods offer upscale amenities such as 24/7 security, private fitness centers, and various seasonal activities. Architectural designs range from model-based constructions to unique creations by renowned Denver firms like Godden & Sudik. Recent years have seen a surge in development, diversifying the housing options. Prices typically range from $1.5 million to $6 million, with an average around $2 million. Indeed, Castle Pines epitomizes the saying, "location, location, location," boasting championship golf facilities amidst the backdrop of the Rocky Mountains.
The area boasts two premier golf courses co-designed by PGA legend Jack Nicklaus. Castle Pines Golf Club, established in 1981, was renowned for hosting the annual International Golf Tournament until 2007. It continues to rank among Golf Digest's top five courses in America. The Country Club at Castle Pines, with a membership cap of 395, stands as one of Colorado's most exclusive social venues. Currently undergoing a $17 million renovation, the club will soon feature enhanced facilities including a heated pool, cabanas, and expanded dining and recreational spaces.
The Village at Castle Pines also houses a public shopping center, featuring specialty stores and diverse eateries.
