Cottonwood provides a place with a family atmosphere so your kids can grow up in a crime-free neighborhood. Cottonwood is one of the best neighborhoods in Parker for the price range of starter-type homes and includes an award-winning community park. The neighborhood watch program is also in effect with community policing; they provide everyone with an extra sense of security.
