Peoria, CO

Tucked out on the eastern plains of Arapahoe County, Peoria is a tiny rural spot roughly forty-five minutes east of the Denver metro area. With only around 150 residents, the landscape is defined by rolling grasslands, quiet country roads, and massive Colorado skies. Living here means genuine breathing room, where properties often feature several acres, horse setups, and the calm rhythm of high plains ranch country.

Daily life naturally connects to neighboring Byers, located just a few miles down the road for picking up the mail, stopping by the local market, and attending area schools. Whenever you need major shopping centers, specialized medical care, or a commute to the airport, Interstate 70 provides a direct drive west into Aurora and Denver. Peoria works well for anyone who wants dark starry nights, privacy, and an unhurried lifestyle within reach of the city.
