Community and Small-Town Feel



Despite being part of the larger Denver metro area, Littleton retains a small-town atmosphere with its historic downtown, community events, and friendly neighborhoods.


Strong Schools


The Littleton Public Schools district is highly regarded for its strong academics, making it an attractive place for families with children.


Outdoor Recreation


Littleton boasts several parks, trails, and open spaces like Chatfield State Park and South Platte Park. These areas offer opportunities for hiking, biking, fishing, and boating.


Distance to Denver


Littleton is just a short drive or light rail ride away from downtown Denver, making it a great location for people who want access to the city but prefer to live in a quieter suburban setting. The RTD Light Rail system connects Littleton to key areas in Denver, making commuting convenient.


Cultural and Historical Appeal


The city has a rich history dating back to the 1800s, and this is reflected in the Littleton Museum and its historic farms, along with local art galleries and theaters. Residents can enjoy a mix of cultural activities close to home.
