Whether you’re grabbing groceries, meeting friends for a meal, or chasing weekend errands, everything you need to enjoy life is just a few minutes from home.  

Local Shopping Options Just Minutes from Home

Parterre sits within a vibrant corridor of convenience, where daily errands and destination shopping live side by side, surrounded by everyday essentials and major shopping centers. That means less time driving and more time doing the things you love..

• Denver Premium Outlets
  This open-air destination blends big brands with scenic strolls. Denver Premium Outlets offers year-round savings on fashion, home goods, and more. It’s perfect for an afternoon out or a quick seasonal refresh.
• Orchard Town Center
  Another nearby favorite, Orchard Town Center mixes shopping, dining, and entertainment in a walkable setup. Expect national retailers, boutique finds, and plenty of space to linger.
• Costco, Walmart, Target
  Everyday staples are always within reach. Costco keeps your pantry full, Walmart handles last-minute needs, and Target delivers the everyday with ease.
• King Soopers
  For specialty items, organic groceries, or a ready-made lunch, Whole Foods in Westminster adds another option to your weekly routine. 
• Thorncreek Crossing
  Conveniently located just off I-25 and 136th, Thorncreek Crossing brings together large-format retailers with practical convenience. Here, you’ll find stores like PetSmart, Best Buy, and Ross Dress for Less, plus casual dining spots and services that make it easy to tackle your weekend to-do list in one place.
  

Every store you rely on, every brand you trust—just a short drive away. Because Parterre was never meant to be out of the way. It was meant to be in bloom.

Life in Full Bloom

Parterre was built to be more than a neighborhood. It’s a community with heart, color, and connection at every turn. Five distinct neighborhoods—Garden North, Arbor West, Terrace East, South Veranda, and The Bloom—come together like petals on a flower. Each has its own feel. Together, they create something lasting.

And just outside the borders? The kind of everyday access that makes life easier:

• Tree-lined trails and colorful parks for morning jogs or peaceful strolls
• Recreation centers and golf courses minutes away
• Schools and services within the neighborhood or just outside
• Shopping and dining that fit your pace and your schedule
  

At Parterre, the flowers aren’t the only things that flourish. Your lifestyle does too.
