By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
The Meadows covers about 4,000 acres on the west side of Castle Rock, the town's largest master planned community, with more than 30 sub neighborhoods built from 2003 onward by Oakwood, Richmond American, Meritage, Lennar and Joyce Homes. Lots generally run 5,000 to 8,000 square feet under single-family and townhome plans. The Grange at 3692 Meadows Boulevard and the Taft House pools at 3570 Celestial Avenue anchor the amenity map, while Clear Sky Elementary and the 10 acre Bison Park share Clear Sky Way. Philip S. Miller Park adjoins the community with 300 acres, the Millhouse event center, the 200 step Challenge Hill that climbs 178 feet, and 8 miles of single track plus a mile of paved trail. Meadows Parkway reaches I-25 in about three minutes.
