About living in Centennial, Colorado

Centennial is a home-rule city of roughly 108,000 residents in Arapahoe County, stretching from Santa Fe Drive on the west to E-470 on the east. Incorporated in 2001, it is made up of dozens of established neighborhoods developed mostly between the 1960s and 1990s, which means larger lots, mature trees and more architectural variety than newer master-planned suburbs.

The city is split between two highly rated school districts: Littleton Public Schools serves the west side (zip codes 80121 and 80122), while Cherry Creek School District serves the central and east side (80111, 80112, 80015 and 80016). School boundaries are one of the biggest drivers of home values in Centennial.

Centennial is bordered by the Denver Tech Center, Greenwood Village, Cherry Creek State Park and Aurora, with I-25, E-470 and Arapahoe Road offering quick access across the metro area.
