Clarke Farms

Clarke Farms is a nice, family-oriented subdivision located just west of Parker Road in the town of Parker. The homes are all single family and have decent sized yards and backyards. Many of these homes were built in the 80s and are in good shape, with many of the residents taking good care of the yards and landscaping.The schools here are good and Cherokee Trail Elementary is located within the neighborhood in walking distance of the houses. My oldest daughter went to school there for a couple of years and I was very impressed with her teachers, who I believe are still there.

There isn't any traffic within the neighborhood, but Jordan Road can get busy as can Lincoln Avenue for residents trying to get West to I-25. Just north of the subdivision by a couple of miles is the tollway for quicker access to either I-25 or out east heading towards DIA. While there are no businesses (with the exception of a martial arts school) or restaurants in the neighborhood, there are options going in almost every direction. There are numerous stores close by, and Park Meadows Mall is only about a 15 minute drive away. The subdivision is also very close to a bike trail that goes west to Littleton or down south to Franktown. It's well maintained and a very pretty ride the whole way. The Parker Rec Center is also just across Lincoln Avenue and offers many classes, a large gym, swimming pool, and workout equipment.

Overall I think this would be a good area for people to live in if they worked in the area or somewhere close, such as the Denver Tech Center. The people seem to be friendly and there are many things to do nearby.
