Gunbarrel Green
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Gunbarrel Green is the custom-home tier of Gunbarrel, built between 1975 and 2005 on quarter-acre to three-quarter-acre parcels, with four to six bedroom floor plans that reach 10,000 square feet at the top end. Streets close in cul-de-sacs rather than through connections, and back lot lines meet prairie open space and golf frontage instead of arterials. Boulder Country Club at 7350 Clubhouse Road sits alongside the subdivision, Twin Lakes Open Space adds 1.4 miles of lakeside trail minutes away, and Heatherwood Elementary at 7750 Concord Drive is under a mile off. Lookout Road reaches the Diagonal Highway in about five minutes and US-36 in roughly twelve.
