According to the developer, "Painted Prairie incorporates community-building moments within the haven of home. Tree-lined streets with alley-loaded homes create front yards with room to play and connect. At Painted Prairie, connectivity is key, whether being linked to the community through a variety of ultimately walkable, bike-friendly streets, paths, and trails, to the connectivity you’ll discover when meeting friends at Town Center for a morning yoga class and cappuccino. Painted Prairie is where memories are made and friendships formed."
As one of the first neighborhood-wide events, The Kearns Team organized and hosted the first Painted Prairie Community Garage Sale on May 15, 2021. The event has since become an annual neighborhood tradition. Visit the Painted Prairie Garage Sale page for more information.

More About Painted Prairie
While the number of builders active in Painted Prairie continues to grow, the community initially launched with five home builders offering a variety of single-family detached and attached homes.
"Designed around a park containing a beautiful ridge, an optimal spot to take in expansive vistas from Longs Peak to Pikes Peak — including the majestic Rockies and the Denver skyline — Painted Prairie honors its storied past while forging a dynamic future. Key to this vision is the restoration of the last of 165 headgates on the High Line Canal, preserving the final mile of this historic waterway."
At the heart of Painted Prairie’s first neighborhood, the 22-acre Central Park provides sports fields, trails, gathering spaces, and views of Colorado’s Front Range. Additional neighborhood parks throughout the community offer smaller outdoor spaces for residents to relax and connect.
