Castle Rock is home to slightly more than 46,000 people who love our small-town atmosphere, low crime rate, abundant parks and open space and clean air.

Located midway between Denver and Colorado Springs, Castle Rock encompasses 33 square miles and sits in the East Plum Creek Valley at the base of the Rocky Mountains at an elevation of 6,202 feet. The Town is traversed by Interstate 25, is home to the Outlets at Castle Rock and is the seat of Douglas County. Our climate is known as among the nation's best, with more than 300 days of sunshine per year.

Recently, the Town has been recognized as one of the best places in the country to live by both Family Circle magazine and RelocateAmerica.com.
