Ken Caryl is one of my favorite places in the whole metro, and it's right in my backyard. It's tucked into the foothills of SW Littleton, with red rock hogbacks on one side and big views of the plains on the other.

What makes Ken Caryl special

The open space is the big draw. The Ken-Caryl Ranch Master Association looks after more than 4,800 acres of private open space and about 50 miles of trails. Most of those trails are just for residents and their guests. You can hike, bike or ride right from home and feel like you're miles from town.

There's an equestrian center, community pools, tennis and pickleball courts, parks and ballfields. The name comes from the original ranch owners, who named it for their sons, Kent and Carrol. A lot of that history still shows, from the old ranch buildings to the way the community was planned around the land instead of on top of it.

Homes in Ken Caryl

You'll find a little of everything here:

  • The Valley: Homes tucked between the hogbacks, many backing to open space
  • North Ranch: Larger homes and lots up against the foothills, with big views
  • East of C-470: Established neighborhoods with easy access to shopping and the highway
  • New construction: A few newer homes are still being built in the area

Most homes were built from the 1970s on. There are townhomes, ranches, two-stories and custom homes, so there's usually something for a lot of budgets.

Good to know before you buy

Ken Caryl has a master association plus smaller neighborhood HOAs in many areas. So check both sets of dues and rules before you write an offer. I'll help you sort that out. Ken Caryl is served by Jeffco Public Schools.
