We’re Bob and Cheryl Bustin, and having lived in Parker for 38 years, we don’t just sell homes here — we live the lifestyle. We raised our family here. We know the neighborhoods, the schools, the trails, the shopping, the sense of community. We built our business here on the values of integrity, personal service, and hometown expertise.
If you’re asking “Why move to Parker, Colorado?”, you’re in the right place. Here’s why we think Parker is one of the very best places in Colorado to live — and how your real-estate decision now can position you for a lifetime of value.
Parker sits in southern Douglas County, just ~20–25 miles southeast of downtown Denver — giving you easy access to the metro job-markets while enjoying suburban/town living.
Because of that, Parker is ideal for commuters who want to avoid dense city congestion but still tap into Denver’s amenities and employment.
From a real-estate value standpoint: proximity to the metro + a desirable lifestyle = strong demand for Parker homes. As we’ve seen in our 20+ years of local real-estate, that adds up to long-term equity.
Parker retains a warm, community-oriented vibe: friendly neighborhoods, local festivals, plenty of opportunities to get involved.
At the same time, you’ll find modern conveniences: shopping, dining, fitness, recreation. No need to sacrifice comfort for charm.
For buyers and sellers: homes in communities that “feel like home” often generate higher interest and more sustainable value.
Parker falls within the Douglas County School District RE‑1, which is highly regarded in Colorado.
There are also private and charter options, giving families flexibility.
For home-buyers with kids, school quality remains a major factor — and Parker checks that box.
For sellers: in our experience, homes in top‐school zones attract more attention and often price more strongly.
Parker offers more than 250 acres of park lands and over 900 acres of open space according to local data.
Trails, bike paths, easy access to nature — families and individuals alike can enjoy outdoor living nearly every day.
Wildlife sightings and scenic views are common, lending to that “Colorado feel” just outside your front door.
For real-estate: homes that back to open space, that have trail access, or views of the Rockies often carry premium market appeal.
Median home cost in Parker in recent years has been over $700K for single-family homes — with strong appreciation over the past decade.
Livability scores: Parker ranks highly on amenities, housing and low crime: 82/100 and #9 in Colorado in one survey.
What that means: Your investment in a Parker home isn’t only about where you live—it’s about building long-term equity.
As your local real-estate partner, we’ve seen that buyers who move here for the right reasons — lifestyle + school + value — are especially satisfied later.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer, moving up, or seeking a luxury estate — Parker offers neighborhoods for many stages of life.
Older, well-established neighborhoods (with mature landscaping, larger lots) sit alongside new-construction communities and custom homesites.
In our practice at Parker Colorado Home Center, we specialize in Parker and nearby areas (Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch, Aurora) — so we know the nuances of each submarket and builder line-up.
Parker hosts fun community events such as the annual Parker Days Festival — with live music, food, parade, rides — reinforcing community spirit.
There is a vibrant main-street feel with local businesses, shops, restaurants — not all suburbs are that complete.
In our view, a town that supports events + local commerce tends to hold appeal over the long run.
Residents consistently report Parker as safe, welcoming, and oriented toward families.
For buyers relocating from elsewhere, the peace of mind of being in a stable, trusted community is a big plus.
Whether you’re relocating from out-of-state, upgrading locally, or buying your “forever home,” Parker is an attractive destination.
Because we live here, we can offer “in-town” advice: what neighborhoods are up next, how to navigate new-construction vs resale, where growth is happening.
For sellers: when you list your home through us, we bring local authority, decades of experience, and a strong track record (over 365 homes sold and $135 million+ in volume) to get you the best outcome.
