Suburb neighboring acres of prairie
The first Buffalo Highlands homes were built in 2018, adjacent to the open space and wild grass of the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge. While all the subdivision’s streets are paved and lined with sidewalks, the neighborhood’s fourth and final filing of homes will not begin until 2024. As part of the expansion of Commerce City, the neighborhood's surrounding landscape is also changing. “There is so much open space, and right now, the future growth is supposed to be spectacular. We're supposed to get movie theaters and all kinds of different businesses in, so we're excited about what the next five years look like for us,” says Cristina Geiger, a broker and owner of Key Team Real Estate Corporation, with over 8 years of experience serving Denver metro areas.
Second Creek Trail and recreation in Reunion
Pocket parks with under an acre of open space and a playground dot the neighborhood. Second Creek Trail, an over 17-mile multiuse path, meets the Arsenal Perimeter Trail on the neighborhood’s west side. The Arsenal Perimeter Trail loops around Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge’s over 15,000 acres, encompassing wild grass where bison and foxes graze. The refuge also has two fishing lakes, nature programs led by rangers and birding opportunities. The Reunion Recreation Center is located near Reunion Park, where there is an outdoor pool with slides. The park also includes soccer fields, a playground, and a paved trail looping around an open space and a pond. “There is a big, white barn in the middle, and throughout the year, there’s something there monthly. It’s kind of the hub of the whole area. You have the Red, White and Bluefest for Fourth of July, Trunk or Treat for Halloween and all the Christmas stuff,” Geiger says.
