Homestead Park
Anchored at the entrance to the Independence community in Denver metro (Elizabeth), Homestead Park is a shared, historical space for all residents to enjoy. It’s a tribute to the early ranch with many of the original buildings that are being transformed into innovative and useful amenities to bring neighbors and families together to play, relax and reconnect.

Transforming the past into the present
The history of the ranch lives on in meaningful ways by renovating the original buildings into historic monuments, a multi-use community center, and a future museum.
Growing together
This conservation community is focused on the wellbeing of residents and the planet. A community garden allows children to experience the reward of growing their own food, while neighbors can harvest crops to share at their next BBQ. Busy beehives that are tended by professional beekeepers add to the vibrant ecosystem. (The sweet rewards of their hard work will be sold exclusively within the community.)
What’s on the outside of our community matters, too.
Beyond the amenities at Independence, residents enjoy close proximity to grocery shopping, regional parks, and Elizabeth School District schools, whose class sizes are half that of typical Denver Metro districts. Grab gas, milk, bread and eggs just a mile north and fresh produce at both the Parker and Elizabeth Farmers Markets. Nearby county parks like Bayou Gulch offer an additional 168 acres of open space with mountain bike trails, playground areas and a 2-acre, off-leash dog park. Elbert County Parks & Rec holds Pee Wee sports, pick-up games, and a roller hockey rink.
