Living in Berkeley, residents get the peacefulness of a suburban lifestyle and the excitement of city amenities. Only 5 miles from Downtown Denver, the neighborhood is filled with walkable streets and upscale homes. “I like Berkeley because it’s a really unique neighborhood community, with its various parks, shopping on Tennyson and proximity to Downtown, Regis and Interstate 70.

Residents are right around the corner from an abundance of unique shops, restaurants, historical entertainment venues and neighborhood parks that keep the community active.

Have lived here since 2017 and absolutely love it (surprised it's so far down this rankings list to be honest). Proximity to two great lake parks--Berkeley park in particular has brand new tennis courts, a local library, rec center and dog park. A more neighborhood-y feel than many other areas of Denver in my opinion, near great restaurants/shops on Tennyson, and ~10-12 minute drive from basically all downtown amenities. In terms of quality of life, it really checks all the boxes.
