    "This neighborhood is full of kids of all ages and is far from quiet. I would say half of the kids are behaved and play well with each other and the other half roam the neihgborhood and invade peoples privacy, space and property."

    "Nice, working class neighborhood and one of the only non-HOA communities in Parker. It's quiet, safe, and most of the neighbors are friendly. The homes are a bit older so the trees are much larger than other neighborhoods in the area. I've called Cottonwood home for 8 years and my daughter has pretty much grown up here. I'm sad that my family has to leave and will always hold the area dear to my heart."

    "It is a neighborhood of starter homes near a nice park. It is one of the least expensive areas in Parker. It is an old neighborhood with most of the homes built in the 1970's or early 1980's."

    "It takes only seconds to leave the neighborhood to get to a major road. It is close to King Soopers, Costco, and many other stores and restaurants. The location is ideal between Parker and Centennial/DTC."

    "There is no school located within the neighborhood. If they attend the public school, they must ride the bus more than 4 miles. I will not let my children out by themselves in the front yard because of traffic. Yards are larger than most newer homes which provides play space. There is a great park, Cottonwood Park West, within walking distance."

    "E-470 is the most convenient, yet expensive way to get places by car. It does feel like unless you take the toll road, you have to go pretty far around to get where you wanna go."

    "It has a good school district. Lots of activities for kids and families. The crime rate is kinda hit or miss. There is a neighborhood with multiple registered sex offenders off of Cottonwood in between Jordan and Parker road on the south side of the road."

    "Cottonwood is unique because it's the older part of Northern Parker. It has several recreational parks which includes the Cherry Creek trails where you can explore and enjoy nature while biking, walking or however you like to relax or exercise. Also, there's a ton of restaurants to eat from and the city of Parker is expanding its housing with new apartment complexes and homes both south and north."

    "I have seen many people walking their furry friends. Cottonwood is very dog friendly. I believe that most apartment complexes have a dog park and if not, there's always the parks and trail. It's where families and furry friends can live and enjoy the outdoors."

    "My typical commute to and from my neighborhood is typically busy. The town of Parker itself has continued to grow over the years and I've lived here for four to five years so traffic is bad in the mornings and afternoons. I live by Parker Adventist and there's a ton of traffic going both ways."

    "I think just the parks in Cottonwood and the trail that runs through Cottonwood is important for parents who want to unwind with the kids or even by themselves. Also, the hospital is right up the road from Cottonwood so a trip to the hospital isn't far at all."
