Meadow Park
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Meadow Park's single-family homes were built between 1998 and 2002, most holding 1,500 to 2,500 finished square feet on lots from 6,500 square feet to a quarter acre, with two- and three-car garages standard for the era. Streets are established and residential, with small neighborhood parks worked into the subdivision and Margaret W. Carpenter Park a short drive to the south. Washington Street is about five minutes away, I-25 about ten, and East 120th Avenue runs along the area's north side.
