Cradled in the Crowfoot Valley, Castle Rock is located 30 miles south of downtown Denver and about the same distance north of Colorado Springs. Settled in the 1870s and incorporated in 1881, the city’s historic downtown is the center of several planned developments. Castle Rock offers a small-town atmosphere, a low crime rate, a historic downtown shopping district, 400 acres of parks, a community recreation center, a 6,942-yard municipal golf course with spectacular mountain scenery, and the Prime Outlets at Castle Rock. | www.townofcastlerock.com
