As a person living in the Pradera area, I have found the neighborhood to be super accepting and friendly. Our neighbors are super nice and we have talked with them on multiple occasions (which is polar opposite from our last neighborhood). In Pradera, there is a great golf club that we have joined that makes a great burger and has a very beautiful and well maintained course that is reminiscent of the Welsh countryside. From our home, you can see a little bit of Pikes Peak and the scenery is amazing. We have tried a couple restaurants and have found that the Asian restaurants are always the best. In Castle Rock (which is not too far from Parker), there are many great Mom and Pop's restaurants that taste so good you won't think you are in the suburbs. I will say, though, I do feel as if we are living in the middle of nowhere sometimes because of the pastures and farmland. But, if you don't mind living out in the country, Parker might be for you.
I love the community! Parker has a fantastic downtown area and mainstreet. However, there is a ton of construction and it is getting very built up and crowded.
I have lived in Parker, Colorado for 7 years. One of my favorite things about it is the sense of community and safety. Something I would like to see change is the amount of diversity, especially in public schools. By this, I mean increased diversity. I think it could teach a lot of these students about the importance of collaboration and understanding, considering that the public schools are overwhelmingly caucasian.
