Overview of The Carillon at Belleview Station

Denver’s Belleview Station corridor, tucked between Cherry Hills Village and Greenwood Village, is home to a 207-bed high-rise called The Carillon. It’s not a single-purpose building. Assisted living, independent living, and memory care all operate under one roof at 4855 Niagara St, which means a resident’s care level can shift without a change of address.

The neighborhood itself scores a 63 on Walk Score, moderately walkable territory where some errands are doable on foot but a car still helps for the rest. Inside, residents pick from studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units. Transportation services are available for residents who’ve stopped driving, and there’s a dedicated fitness and recreation offering for those who want to stay active rather than sedentary.

Pets are allowed here, a detail that carries real weight for residents unwilling to part with a companion animal as part of a move. The community operates on private pay, worth flagging early for families building out a financial plan. Ownership and administration are both handled at the local level: a Colorado-based operating entity holds the property, with an on-site administrator managing daily operations.

Put together, this is a building designed around continuity. A resident who starts in independent living and later needs memory care doesn’t have to leave the community to get it. For families who’d rather solve that transition once, in a familiar building with a familiar staff, that structural feature is the one worth paying attention to.

Frequently Asked Questions about Independent Living in Colorado

What is independent living?

Independent living communities are residential settings for active older adults — typically with private apartments or cottages, shared amenities (dining, fitness, activities), and no built-in medical care.

How many independent living communities are listed on this page?

This page features 232 independent living communities in Colorado. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right independent living community in Colorado?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Colorado, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting independent living communities in Colorado?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
