If you are looking for the feel of a small town, with all the conveniences of a large city, consider the neighborhoods of Littleton. Conveniently located southwest of Denver, Littleton is a small city with historic roots as well as the high tech appeal, and solid economic base, of the Denver Tech Center.
Founded in the 1880's, Littleton has many examples of turn of the century brick architecture in its historic downtown. Older brick homes in this area are desired commodities in the Littleton real estate market. For those who desire a more modern home, Littleton has neighborhoods built in nearly every decade of the 20th century. Downtown Littleton hosts many events and street fairs each year, and there is always something going on.
The old city hall is a performing arts center featuring plays, musical performances and children's theater outreach. Hudson Gardens offers nearly five acres of gardens to give new homeowners landscaping ideas. Additionally, downtown Littleton features cafes, galleries and unique shopping. Littleton also is home to the modern Aspen Grove shopping mall, and is near the Chatfield Reservoir recreation area. Surrounded by freeways, Littleton enjoys easy access to all that Denver has to offer, but also a warm, small town feel desired in any real estate market.
