Castle Rock

Named for the prominent rock formation that overlooks the Town, Castle Rock features several planned developments tied together by its historic downtown. First settled in the 1870s, the Town soon became a center for rhyolite mining and an important station for north-south railroad traffic.

Currently home to 33,000 people, Castle Rock provides its residents with a small town atmosphere, low crime rates, abundant parks and open spaces, a historic downtown shopping district and clean air. Located midway between Denver and Colorado Springs, Castle Rock occupies 33 square miles. It is home to the Factory Outlet Stores at Castle Rock and is the seat of Douglas County.

The Town lies at an elevation of 6,202 feet in the Plum Creek Valley along Interstate 25 at the base of the Rocky Mountains. The climate is known to be one of the best in the nation with more than 300 days of sunshine, clear blue skies and less than 15 inches of precipitation each year.

Castle Rock provides several indoor and outdoor leisure opportunities including the Community Recreation Center, 400 acres of parks, the Red Hawk Ridge municipal golf course and the soon-to-be opened Hidden Mesa open space. Residents and visitors can also enjoy a full range of shopping experiences from downtown boutiques to department stores and the Outlets at Castle Rock, or enjoy dining on anything from fast food to gourmet.
