Former veterans community on the outskirts of Denver
Chaffee Park was established north of downtown after World War II when returning veterans needed low-cost housing, and Denver was experiencing post-war expansion. “The diversity in housing is remarkable, ranging from classic homes that have graced the neighborhood for over half a century to newly constructed residences with a contemporary flair,” says April Andrews, employing broker at Joy of the Rockies Realty, licensed since 2018. “During my time as a member of this community, I had the privilege of firsthand experience with the genuine kindness that radiates here. I noticed that residents were acquainted with their neighbors, and it was evident that numerous families in the neighborhood lived just steps away from each other.”

Original bungalows and modern condo units
In the late 1940s and early 1950s, bungalows, Cape Cods, minimal traditionals and ranch-style houses were built on grided streets. Today, these single-family homes range in price from $345,000 to $720,000. Townhouses and condos dot the area from Federal Boulevard on the west side, where the Aria Zen condos are located, to Zuni Street farther east, where modern townhouses sit on land rezoned to residential after a church was removed. The developer, Tony Grandt, says that rezoning opportunities like the one he took advantage of are uncommon in this area, so the chances of seeing new construction, particularly for townhouses, are less likely. Condos can price between $250,000 and $645,000, while townhouses list from around $510,000 to $700,000.
