Southlands is one of the Denver Area's Best-Kept Secrets

While traveling along the Denver area’s E-470 tollway used to be rather lackluster, the development of Arapahoe County’s Southlands area has changed the southeastern Aurora landscape for the better. Southlands, which has 1.7 million sq. ft. of shopping and dining space, is a fashionable area nestled along E-470 on Smoky Hill Road. The outdoor mall’s last phase opened in October of 2006. While residents of the Southeastern Aurora communities of Piney Creek and Tallyn’s Reach likely include Southlands in their regular shopping routines, the area is one Denver’s best-kept secrets.

Southlands features an architecturally charming four block main street and community plaza that is reminiscent of trendy urban areas like Bel Mar and Larimer Square. The main area is surrounded by almost every store and restaurant that you can name including P.F. Changes, JC Penney, Babies R Us, Home Depot, On The Border, etc.

Southlands isn’t all about shopping. There are many family-friendly events throughout the year including a summer farmer’s market that runs from May through October and a variety of events during the holiday season. The first annual Southlands 5K Race and Family Run/Walk is coming up on September 15^th. The 5K Race begins at 8 am and the Family Run/Walk starts at 8:30 am.

As the Southlands area continues to grow, real estate in surrounding communities including Tallyn’s Reach will only appreciate. Homebuyers are always attracted to communities that are not only close to conveniences but also nearby more distinctive shopping and dining establishments. The Southlands area is also in the heart of the coveted Cherry Creek School District, which further adds to the area’s overall appeal. The Southlands area takes typical suburban development to a whole new level.
