Foxfield is a new town in Colorado with a population of 700 located southeast of downtown Denver. It was officially incorporated in December, 1994 with dreams of preserving the town as it was then.

Growth is closing in on all sides of Foxfield and encroachment was the main reason the residents incorporated. They wanted to preserve the country feel and pride they had spent so many years developing. By incorporating, other municipalities such as adjacent Aurora would be prevented from any annexation attempts.



Homesites are required to be at least 2 acres which gives the small town a distintively country feel. "Close in country living" describes Foxfield. So does "gorgeous mountain views" and "treed horse properties". A local summer highlight is the annual July 4th parade and town BBQ.

A few other phrases describe Foxfield that are not so positive. Fractured politics, disgraceful dirt roads, expensive water, wind, and horse flies are the worst things, but probably no worse than in other towns.

Update: Road paving is underway, scheduled to be completed by late summer 2003.

Foxfield has a total land mass of one square mile. Houses first began springing up as early as the 1960's and new houses have been built all through the years until almost every two acre lot has a house on it.

Each house has been custom built so there is architectural diversity and good ole variety. Pride of ownership is very strong in Foxfield.

Foxfield's commercial district consists of a small strip mall known as the "Barn Store". The town approved a sales tax and obtains a small revenue from the strip mall.







Foxfield's growth industry is churches. One is recently completed and another is about to be started. New commercial development near the Parker Rd./Arapahoe Rd. intersection is next.

Installing city water is a major improvement that has now been completed. It provides water to any home that wants to tap into it (for a fee). City water means the end of well problems which had plagued some properties.

Outdoor bulletin boards placed strategically around town are a form of communication.

A new fire station built by the Parker Fire Protection District (not related to the town of Parker, Colorado) helps keep insurance rates low. Hydrants have been installed as part of the city water improvement.

Because Foxfield maintains a very low profile few Coloradans know where the town is. This sign notifies drivers on Parker Road and another one on Arapahoe Road when they are passing Foxfield.

These rustic signs located at every entrance notify drivers that they are passing into the town.
