The city is known for its beautifully restored turn-or-the-century downtown buildings, town Hall Arts Center and the Littleton Historical Museum, the 14 acre site of two living history farms that are fashioned after the lifestyles of Colorado's early-day settlers.

The city is rich in recreational opportunities.  The 625-acre South Platte Park, South Platte River, High Line Canal Trail, Lee Gulch, Arapahoe Greenway and Carson Nature center provide outdoor folks with opportunities to boat, bike, hike swim, skate, golf, ride horses and play baseball, softball and soccer.

There are 26 neighborhood parks, three golf courses, a two-rink enclosed ice arena, two indoor and outdoor swimming pools and a multi-purpose recreation center.  In addition, there are over thirty miles of bike trails through residential areas plus almost twenty miles of biking or walking trails along the High Line canal Trail.

Major employers in Littleton are well known, Norgren, Ecostar, Lockheed Martin and U.S. West Communications Corporation.

Littleton neighborhoods range from older well maintained residences to single and multi-family residences from custom to semi-custom designs.   Also available are condominiums, townhomes and apartments.
