What is the typical home value in Parker?

$691,000 is the median sale price of Parker homes sold June–August 2026 (MLS data via the South Metro Denver REALTOR® Association) — a median, so a few luxury sales don't skew it. Overall home values are ↓ 1.6% YoY per Zillow. Actual sale prices span a much wider range, from entry-level condos and townhomes up through custom estates that can run into the several millions. Prices vary substantially by neighborhood, home type, age and lot size — see the community guide for the current breakdown.

Which school district serves Parker?

Parker is served by Douglas County Schools (A−). Individual school assignments depend on the address; the community guide lists the specific schools and links to the district site.

How far is Parker from downtown Denver?

Parker is approximately ~23 mi · 30 min SE from downtown Denver in typical traffic. Denver International Airport is roughly ~35–40 min via E-470.

Are there metro-district taxes to know about in Parker?

Yes — many newer neighborhoods in Parker sit inside a metropolitan tax district, which adds a mill levy on top of the base county property tax to fund the community's streets, parks and infrastructure. Ask before you write an offer so you know the total mill levy and how long it's expected to stay in effect.
