Approximately between 1998 and 2002. The airport was still depicted on the 1998 World Aeronautical Chart but was no longer shown on the 2002 Denver Sectional Chart. Aerial imagery from 2002 shows the runway marked with closed 'X' symbols, and by 2005, residential construction was well underway.
Urban encroachment and real estate development. As the Denver metropolitan area expanded, the land value for residential housing significantly surpassed its value as a private airfield. The site was sold to developers and repurposed for a suburban housing community, a common fate for small general aviation airports near growing cities.
The site of the former airport has been completely redeveloped into a residential housing subdivision. The coordinates point to the middle of a neighborhood, which is part of the larger Bromley Park development in Brighton, Colorado. The former runway and airport grounds are now occupied by single-family homes, streets (such as E 154th Ave and Harvest Rd), and parks. There are no physical remnants of the airport visible today.
Stevens Airport was a small, privately-owned general aviation airfield. It was not a major commercial or military facility. Its primary role was to serve the local recreational flying community. Owned by C.M. Stevens, it featured a single unpaved turf runway, approximately 2,600 feet in length, oriented roughly north/south. The airport primarily handled light single-engine aircraft for personal use. Its significance was local, providing a base for private pilots in the Brighton area before the land became more valuable for development.
None. The prospect of reopening Stevens Airport is zero. The land has been permanently and completely repurposed for high-density residential use. Reacquiring the land and demolishing the established neighborhood to rebuild an airport is not feasible from a legal, financial, or logistical standpoint.
