Looking for Rural Living within an Hour from Denver?

Elizabeth homes for sale have been drawing in new residents for over 150 years. This quaint town can be found about 30 miles south of Denver, which means it’s one of the best combinations of rural living and access to the modern amenities of the big city. You can get to the Denver Tech Center from Elizabeth in just about 40 minutes, making this a great town for folks who work in the city but crave country living.

Running Creek is probably the most interesting geographic feature you’ll find when looking at Elizabeth properties. This creek runs through much of the town, and was the primary reason the area was settled in the first place. Peter I Van Wormer settled in this area back in 1859, followed by the trapper Justin Marlow. Ranchers and farmers settled here, and eventually a lumber mill even sprung up. When the Denver and New Orleans railroad opened up a stop here in 1881, the town started growing in earnest.

There’s plenty to do and see in and around Elizabeth real estate, without having to travel into Denver. The Black Forest and Castlewood Canyon State Park are nearby, giving you plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities like hiking, biking, horseback riding and rock climbing. Today, Elizabeth has become a popular bedroom community for the metro Denver region. You’ll find many types of Elizabeth houses, and the homes tend to be larger and situated on big lots.
