Woodglen
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Woodglen took shape in stages, with county plats recorded from 1971 through the mid 2000s, mixing New Traditional, Colonial Revival, and split-level houses on cul-de-sacs with the attached Woodglen Square townhomes. Woodglen/Brookshire Park, near East 116th Avenue, carries a skating rink, pickleball courts, and ballfields, while Cherry Park adds a playground and multipurpose fields a few blocks over. Margaret W. Carpenter Recreation Center and the Harley Brown Amphitheater sit within a few minutes' drive for concerts and the annual Thorntonfest. Washington Street is about five minutes west and I-25 roughly ten minutes east. Average sale prices have run near $487,000.
