Located in the southeastern corner of the Denver metropolitan area, Parker combines suburban comfort with small-town character. Originally established as a stagecoach stop called Twenty Mile House, this growing community has evolved while preserving its historic roots. Parker's rental market offers everything from apartment communities to townhomes, with current average rents ranging from $1,599 for studios to $2,747 for three-bedroom homes. The rental market has shown slight adjustments recently, with modest decreases of 0.7% to 6.3% across different unit sizes.
Residents explore over 27 miles of paved trails and 250 acres of parkland throughout the community. The Parker Arts, Culture, & Events Center (PACE) anchors the cultural scene with regular art exhibits, theater productions, and concerts by local performers including the Parker Symphony Orchestra.
