Cherry
Creek
Named after the Creek that runs through the heart of the city,
Cherry Creek has become synonymous with fashion and luxury.
The upscale Cherry
Creek Mall, tony boutiques, chic art galleries, and gourmet
restaurants are surrounded by luxury housing – mostly
town homes. Pedestrian-friendly, Cherry Creek offers a small-town
neighborhood feel with corner coffee shops and side walk benches.
Bounded by Colorado Boulevard to University, 6th Avenue and
1st Avenue, Cherry Creek provides an urban lifestyle that
many find very appealing. The success of Cherry Creek has
prompted developers to build more housing south of 1st as
far as Cherry Creek Drive South. The 22-mile Cherry Creek
Path is also a draw for the outdoor-minded: biking, running,
walking, in-line skating. Every 4th of July, the Cherry
Creek Arts Festival brings thousands to enjoy a huge outdoor
art display.

Cherry Creek is well-known for its walking
plazas, boutiques, and fashionable mall.

Country
Club
The Country Club Historic District and Country Club Place
begin north of the Denver Country Club along Speer Boulevard
and extend to 4th Avenue plus Circle Drive. From University
Boulevard on the east, Country Club extends to Downing Street
on the west. Designed by William and Arthur Fisher, in collaboration
with prominent Boston architect, Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr.,
Country Club has become one of Denver’s most exclusive
neighborhoods. Many of the older grand mansions are being
preserved and extensively remodeled. With a finite number
of homes (about 380), this neighborhood is a jewel in the
city.

The Country Club neighborhood features
the exclusive Denver Country Club with private 18-hole golf
course.
Other prominent neighborhoods nearby include The Polo Club
and Field, Morey Hill, 7th Avenue Historic District, Congress
Park, and Botanic Gardens District.

Park
Hill
A quick commute to downtown businesses and uptown hospitals,
Denver's Park Hill covers the neighborhood east of the Denver
Museum of Nature and Science from Colorado Boulevard to Quebec
Street and from Colfax Avenue on the south to 28th Street
on the north. Magnificent trees grace the boulevards on Montview,
Monaco, Forest and 17th. These parkways boast many lovely
historic homes. It is not unusual to have Park Hill residents
move within Park Hill. There is a strong loyalty to the neighborhood.
People who live there love it!

Park Hill's grand homes, parkways, and
botantical inspirations make it a beautiful place to live.

Hilltop
& Crestmoor
Another close-in community is the Hilltop
Neighborhood, bounded by Colorado Boulevard, Holly, 6th Avenue
Parkway, and Alameda. Hilltop is a quick trip to Cherry Creek
and a 10 minute drive to downtown. Many of the 1950’s
ranches have been converted to 2-story “pop tops”
to allow for expanding families. Others are being updated
into sleek, contemporary residences. Stately homes line the
parks and parkways. Developers are also razing some of the
older, smaller homes and building grand new ones to accommodate
today’s buyers’ tastes. Several parks interspersed
through Hilltop, including Cranmer and Robinson, offer spectacular
views of the Front Range. The Denver Tennis Club is located
in Hilltop.
Crestmoor is the neighborhood just east of Hilltop, encompassing
Holly, 6th Avenue Parkway, Monaco, and Alameda. Like Hilltop,
many of the homes are being extensively remodeled and rebuilt.
Crestmoor has a wonderful family swimming and tennis club.
My family joined Crestmoor when we moved to Denver from Boulder.
It was a terrific way to meet neighbors and make new friends.
A nearby new neighborhood is The Lowry Redevelopment where
an old air force base is being transformed into a beautiful
new community. The main entrance is on 6th Avenue Parkway
as you go east across Quebec.

Washington
Park
Built in 1899, the 162-acre Washington Park is a local recreational
haven. Visitors enjoy the park with its dedicated roadways
for bicycling, walking and running. Others come to view the
gorgeous gardens and play soccer and volleyball on the vast
green space. South High School built in 1926, complete with
roof-top griffins, anchors the southeast corner. From I-25
to Exposition and from University to Downing, “Wash
Park” is home to all ages and professions (perhaps with
a predominance of 30-somethings). Housing styles are as varied
as its residents. Clusters of boutiques and neighborhood restaurants
on South Gaylord and South Pearl Streets provide a charming
compliment to this popular area.

The Washington Park neighborhood boasts
an expansive park where one finds runners, roller-bladers,
people walking dogs -- all types of outdoor enthusiasts.
Another area close to the center of the city is The Historic
Baker Neighborhood, Bonnie Brae, and Observatory Park.

STAPLETON
Stapleton is a new development northeast of Park Hill. An expansive
new mixed-use community of housing and commercial establishments,
this area is close to the city and readily accessible to Denver
International Airport.
