Ken Caryl

Ken Caryl is a tucked away favorite on the southwest edge of the metro, set right against the hogback with the foothills as a backdrop. It is best known for Ken Caryl Valley, surrounded by thousands of acres of private open space, though the surrounding neighborhoods offer great value too.
