Stapleton International Airport, Urban redevelopment neighborhood in Northeast Denver, United States.
Stapleton International Airport is a neighborhood in northeast Denver, United States, built on the site of a former airfield. The area contains homes, shops, parks and trails connected by streets lined with trees.
The site served as Denver's main airfield from 1929 to 1995, handling passenger traffic for decades. After its closure, transformation into a residential neighborhood began, reorganizing the land with new streets and infrastructure.
The neighborhood integrates diverse housing styles, from single-family homes to apartments, reflecting different architectural influences across multiple income levels.
Schools, shops, restaurants and medical facilities sit within walking distance nearby. Public transport connects the neighborhood to other parts of the city, allowing movement without a car.
The project turned old runways and terminals into streets and residential areas, making it the largest urban infill development in the US. Some street names recall the former use as an airfield.
