  • A mostly vacant parking lot at The Shops at Northfield in Central Park may soon be redeveloped with housing, retail and more. The 16-acre parcel may be transformed into a vibrant mixed-use community.
  • Metro Denver’s 2025 homeless count showed an eight percent overall increase, totaling 10,774 people. However, unsheltered homelessness dropped to a six-year low, thanks to expanded shelter access and housing programs. This shift may help improve neighborhood stability and public perception, even as long-term housing needs persist.
  • Residents along an eight-mile stretch of I-70 are hopeful that a planned $27 million wall will act as a sound barrier, reduce dust and improve safety from highway traffic.
  • Builder incentives reached an all-time high, according to the National Association of Home Builders, with 37 percent of builders cutting prices and offering sales incentives.
  • Today, more households have pets than children, a shift that is influencing homebuyer decisions. Nearly one in five recent buyers said pet needs were a key factor in choosing their home and neighborhood.
