Residential suburb filled with city perks
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. It’s uniquely situated, and you get a lot of diversity from the city,” says Realtor Nick DiPasquale with West and Main Homes, who also serves on the Market Trends Committee for the Denver Metro Association of REALTORS®. Residents are right around the corner from an abundance of unique shops, restaurants, historical entertainment venues and neighborhood parks that keep the community active.

Stop for a quick cup of coffee at Huckleberry Roasters or sit down at Cozy Cottage for a Mexican-inspired breakfast meal.

It's a safe city, and getting better all the time. It's still a city, though. There is still crime. However, as long as you are aware of your situation and surroundings, and are somewhat familiar with the city and its areas, you will rarely feel unsafe.
