Time for our Central Park all things real estate update post we call “Focus on Central Park”. In this week’s info packed post we’ll highlight the 17 new listings in the neighborhood this week (including two that have income property apartments attached!), 7 rental properties we have available from 1 to 4 bedrooms, multiple open houses to explore & more!
If anything in this post catches your eye or your need assistance with your real estate needs in Central Park please reach out, we’d love to help! We help people buy, sell or manage their properties in the neighborhood.
Before we jump in, we have one quick public service announcement type post for owners of condos and town home properties. Would your insurance cover the cost of a special assessment if your HOA levied one to cover a major expense like a new roof for your building after hail damage? We have a blog post on that topic that can help you mitigate that potential risk! The post, written by Jen Mathes from the Mathes Agency (a local insurance expert), is titled “Understanding “Loss Assessment Coverage” in Condo/Town Home Insurance — Especially for Roof Repairs”.

On to the neighborhood real estate for the week…
There are 17 new & coming soon listings in Central Park this week to explore! You can see all 17 of them in the link above.
Of the coming soon and new listings, here is a unique one that caught my attention:
3357 Akron St: $1,279,989
This large, 6 bedroom home, listed by our friend Ken Greenfield of Corcoran Perry & Co, would normally get our attention because of its great Central Park North location. This time though it caught my eye because it offers so much flexibility. The home has 4 bedrooms above grade but then it has 2 more in the finished basement which has its own entrance, own off street parking space and its own full kitchen! This gives the new buyer the chance to live in the home as one large single-family home, a multigenerational home or a home with its own income producing rental property! This one offers a lot of versatility and I look forward to seeing it in person!
There were 13 homes that went under contract in Central Park in the last week. Most of those homes sold in the first 3 weeks on the market, which is encouraging for sellers. This market is a little tricky right now! Some homes are selling in competitive bidding war type situations while others are sitting for longer stretches of time without much activity. It’s key that sellers have homes priced well, in great shape from a maintenance standpoint and looking good aesthetically to garner attention from buyers that are now being more selective.
There were 16 homes that closed in the past week. You can see them in the link above.
Total Active Central Park Listings
There are now 126 active listings in the neighborhood. So, if it seems like there are more for sale signs around than there you used to be, that is because there are. Home inventory has increased in Central Park, similar to the trend we’ve seen in the Denver metro in general. There are now multiple options for buyers in each price segment, so for sellers the key is to be the best value in that price segment to stand out.
Of the actively listed homes here are a few I wanted to point out:
5511 Wabash St: $899,000 **Open house Saturday 6/21 11:00 – 1:00**
This Thrive Home Builders listing really shines and with a price now below $900k we feel it’s the best value available in this segment. The owners have cared for it so well and recently installed new carpet, custom lighting, new tile and more! It’s completely ready to go. The home features a very functional layout, 4 bedrooms, an oversized garage, a finished basement and an upgraded outdoor space. Take a tour of the property in this video we created and then if you’d like to see it in person I’m hosting an open house this Saturday 6/21 from 11am – 1pm. This property is listed by Stephanie Airman and me, Joe Phillips, from Focus Real Estate.
5399 Valentia: $660,000
This stunning 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath town home nestled in Central Park’s Willow Park East neighborhood is listed by our teammate Amanda Campbell at Focus Real Estate. Some of the amazing features include the soaring 13-foot ceilings, a dramatic wall of cathedral windows, and a dazzling statement chandelier that fills the space with natural light. The open-concept kitchen is a true showstopper, boasting a massive central island, gleaming grey subway tile backsplash, abundant white cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances—including a 5-burner gas cooktop and BOSCH dishwasher. All of this is set in a prime Central Park location, just minutes from Maverick Pool, neighborhood parks, the Shops at Conservatory Green and Northfield, with easy access to Downtown Denver, DIA, and Anschutz Medical Campus. No Sub HOA, which is nice in terms of keeping the monthly fixed costs down!
5445 Verbena St: $1,085,000 **Open house Sunday 6/22 11:00 – 1:00**
Have you been through a Lennar “Next Gen” home? This is a large home that also comes with a fully equipped 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment—ideal for multi-generational living or income potential! If you haven’t, I’m holding an open house there this Sunday from 6/22 and I’d love to show you around. Tucked on a quiet street, just one block from the expansive vistas of Prairie Meadows Park, this beautifully maintained residence blends elegance, versatility, and comfort, offering 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a private office, and a spacious 3-car attached garage. The owned solar panel system significantly reduces electricity costs, adding long-term value and efficiency. The “Next Gen” suite includes a private entrance, spacious living/dining area, kitchenette, bright bedroom, stylish bath, in-unit laundry, and storage—ideal for guests or rental income (rental analysis available). Enjoy easy access to Maverick Pool, parks, trails, and Northfield, with an easy commute to Anschutz, Downtown, and DIA. Come by this Sunday and say hi! This home is listed by Amanda Campbell from our team at Focus Real Estate.

Disclaimer: Our Friday real estate updates are meant to be a “roundup” type post where we discuss all for sale and for rent listings in Central Park, not just our own. It’s our way of making sure we follow the market closely and we share it with the Scoop readers because we know many of you like to track real estate in the area as well. Many of the listings in these posts are not our company’s listings and we wanted to mention that here to make sure it’s clear. Thanks for reading the Scoop!
