Best In Colorado Real Estate™: Denver

Castle Pines leads Colorado in million-dollar homes with 74.4% of homes valued at $1M or more — the highest share in the Denver metro and across the state, according to ALEX Intelligence’s 2026 analysis of U.S. Census data. This isn’t about broad affluence — it’s about where wealth is being concentrated, and why. In a market where job growth is strong and innovation is rising, this data reveals a deeper structural shift: value is no longer spread evenly, but anchored in a few stable, high-governance enclaves. The implications for access, equity, and long-term urban planning are significant. How do we reconcile rising innovation with entrenched wealth segregation? How do we ensure that growth benefits more than just a few ZIP codes?
