Neighborhood between medical and nature centers

The ambulance sirens from Anschutz Medical Campus fade to silence when crossing from Sable Altura Chamber’s west side to Star K Ranch on the east. “Star K Ranch is a wonderful nature oasis in the middle of a pretty industrial area, which makes it very special,” says Joy Thompson, Natural Resources Supervisor for the City of Aurora’s Open Space and Natural Resources division. “For people who live in the nearby neighborhoods, it’s a way to get away from the city to a natural place that’s within walking distance.” Shopping and dining may not be within walking distance for everyone, but retail and restaurants are reachable along Colfax Avenue, with bus stops lining this main route. Manufactured home communities join the mix of hotels and temporary stay options placed around this road, with proximity in mind for patients’ guests and staff at the hospital.

From Sable Altura Chambers you can access quiet moments in nature as well as the Denver metro.

Colfax Avenue, Anschutz Medical Campus and commutes

Colfax Avenue – also known as U.S. Route 287 – connects commuters with Denver in under 10 miles and the Anschutz Medical Campus in under 2 miles. UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital (UCH) has held the No. 1 hospital ranking in Colorado for 12 years, ranking second nationally in the specialty of pulmonology and lung surgery. The Children’s Hospital Colorado Anschutz is Denver's only pediatric level one trauma center. Whether flying into Denver for specialty care or flying out for work or fun, passengers pass through the terminals at Denver International Airport, 10 miles northeast. Interstate 225, which runs north and south along the neighborhood’s western edge, connects with Interstate 70, which runs horizontally across the north, opening access to Denver metro amenities. Travelers can also board Regional Transportation District (RTD) bus stops along Sable Boulevard that cuts vertically through the neighborhood’s middle or wait for the RTD light rail at 13th Avenue Station.

Homes from Hillcrest Village to Cottage Grove

Manufactured home communities populate the neighborhood’s southwest, from Hillcrest Village to Green Acres. These 1980s homes and carports run diagonally off the main streets, leaving room for rock gardens around the mailboxes. The Manufactured homes start at $93,000 for a two-bedroom and up to $117,000 for a four-bedroom. Paved driveways branch off side streets up to bricked ranch-style homes. Homeowners decorate their front lots with shrubs and flower bushes. These homes list between $236,000 for a three-bedroom and $740,000 for a six-bedroom. Nearby condos list between $185,000 for a one-bedroom in the Woodmor Village Condominiums and $329,000 for a three-bedroom in the gated Cottage Grove subdivision. Gated communities are rare in this area but add a deterrent to property crime, which, along with violent crime rates, scores higher than the national average. The neighborhood averages a seven out of 10 on the CAP Index Crime Score, compared to the national average of four.

Anayas Bakery invites patrons to start their days with a breakfast burrito or one of the bakery’s sweet pastries.

Playtime to learning time at Morrison Nature Center

Cottonwood Park stretches across almost 8 acres, providing a different pace of play to suit different interests. Basketball players compete on the court while children climb the web of robes and ride the saucer swing. Walkers can watch on from the park’s paved loop that circles the basketball court, playground and neighboring picnic pavilion. Children run around the rubber surface at Fairplay Park, sliding and climbing on the short rock wall. The Sand Creek Trail guides those looking for more natural recreation east to the Star K Ranch, once belonging to Virgil “Pop” Stark. “When Pop lived in the house, he had a wood sign over the space between the house and the garage that read, ‘This place was built for me and my friends,’” Thompson says. “We now think of Star K Ranch as a place for us and all of our friends in Aurora who love nature and wildlife.” Trails weave throughout the open space, providing wetland and woods views where hikers may come across deer and bald eagles. Morrison Nature Center sits in the middle, ready to educate nature lovers about all the local wildlife.
