Parker is a welcoming town with great neighborhoods, restaurants, shops and schools. The Northern section is move developed, and the southern section still features rolling hills, pine trees and room to explore!
I enjoyed growing up in Parker, it is a very family friendly community, with many walking trails, and therefore healthy living. It does not have much diversity however and the school system seems to be going in the wrong direction. Hopefully with the recent bond approval that will change and the schools will improve. Both of my parents work, however, they both commute to Denver for employment. When I was in high school, I also commuted to a nearby town for a part time job. There are many restaurants, and Parker does seem to be growing, so perhaps the job opportunities will expand.
Love it here. Very beautiful. Great areas to eat and shop, walk and hike. If ever needed a hotel stay at Holiday inn (parker) great staff, very friendly and clean, worth the drive. Great parks for kids and pets with lots a friendly people and great places to eat. Try Saltgrass steakhouse the food is amazing. Downtown Parker is lit up really nice for the holiday season and lots of great places to shop and dine in the area. Home prices here can be expensive but that also means less crime. Feel very safe walking around in Parker. Parker is by far one of the best suburbs in Denver Colorado if your looking for a place to live and settle down with good schools, shops, restaurants and parks. Parker is about a 20 min drive from other cities like Aurora and about 25 min from Denver. Some areas of the city sit higher so you get some areas with great view of the mountains and the sunsets. Parker is a great place to visit, go for a walk, grab a bite to eat and just hang out and relax at too.
