Castle Pines sits along I-25 between Lone Tree and Castle Rock in Douglas County, with rolling hills, ponderosa pines and sweeping views of the Front Range. It offers some of the most beautiful settings in the south Denver suburbs, from family neighborhoods to gated golf-course estates, all about 25 minutes from downtown Denver.

Two very different “Castle Pines”
The City of Castle Pines
The incorporated city, formerly known as Castle Pines North, is mostly single-family neighborhoods with parks, trails and easy I-25 access at Castle Pines Parkway. It also includes The Canyons, a newer master-planned community with new construction, open space and trails.
The Village at Castle Pines
Just south, The Village is a private, gated community of luxury homes and estates on large, wooded lots. It is home to two private golf clubs, Castle Pines Golf Club and the Country Club at Castle Pines, and is one of the most prestigious addresses in the Denver area.
