About
A local magazine, made carefully
Castle Rock Lifestyles is an independent publication about living well in Castle Rock, Colorado.
What we do
Practical guides for a growing town
Castle Rock is a home-rule town in Douglas County, with about 73,000 residents at the 2020 census, a landmark butte on its skyline and a lot of newcomers learning how things work. We publish careful guides on five subjects: food and drink, things to do, homes and living, the outdoors and local business.
Our stories are meant to stay useful. We do not chase breaking news, and we do not publish a live events calendar that goes stale. Instead we explain how things work, point you to the official source for current details and give you the context to ask better questions.
Where we draw the line
We do not invent quotes, testimonials, reviews or events. If we cannot verify a claim, we leave it out. Where a topic touches law, insurance or safety, we say what is general information and send you to the experts who can advise on your situation.
Our editorial standards
Every guide lists the official sources we checked and the month we checked them.
When sources disagree, we say so. We do not pick a convenient version of events.
Spotlights are editorial. Paid placements are always labeled as sponsored.
Send us a correction through the contact page. We update the story and note what changed.
We are not affiliated with the Town of Castle Rock, Douglas County or any chamber of commerce.
About our images
Illustrations, not photographs
The images on this site are original illustrations created for the magazine. They are not photographs of real events or real businesses, and they are not meant to depict actual people. We use them to set a mood and keep the pages light, and we describe each one in the alt text so everyone can follow along.
When we have permission to publish real photographs, we will label them as such.
