Country Hills
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Country Hills sits between E 128th Avenue and E 132nd Avenue just east of Colorado Boulevard, on Ash, Bellaire and Birch Streets plus the loop of Country Hills Drive. County records list 409 houses built from 1987 to 1998, with 1992 through 1995 the busiest stretch, and two story plans account for 271 of them at a median near 1,890 finished square feet on lots around 0.15 acre. A detention basin and Eastglen Park break the street grid on the east side, and the concrete 128th Avenue Trail runs the southern edge. Trail Winds Park and Open Space, with its recreation center, is a little over a mile north, and I-25 is about ten minutes west.
