Centennial is a south metro city in Arapahoe County that only became a city in 2001, when residents of a large unincorporated area voted to incorporate. The neighborhoods themselves are older than that, mostly built from the 1970s through the 1990s, so the city feels settled, with mature trees and established subdivisions.
Most of the housing is single-family: two-story homes, ranches and tri-levels in subdivisions like Willow Creek, Homestead and Piney Creek, many with HOA pools and greenbelts. Lots tend to be larger than in Denver, and many homes have been updated with open kitchens and finished basements. Townhomes and newer infill projects are scattered near the main corridors.
Centennial is split between two school districts. Littleton Public Schools serves the west side and the Cherry Creek School District serves much of the central and east side, so it's worth checking the boundary for any address you're considering.
The Streets at SouthGlenn, at University Boulevard and Arapahoe Road, is an outdoor shopping and dining center. Centennial Center Park has a large playground and splash pad, and recreation is split between South Suburban Parks and Recreation in the west and the Arapahoe Park and Recreation District in the east. I-25 runs through the city, and light rail stations along it reach downtown Denver. The Denver Tech Center is a short drive north.
