Charming homes with comparatively lower price points
Many of the homes in Chaffee Park were built between the early 1900s and 1960s, with some newer townhouses and condos in the mix. “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. Ranch-style homes and bungalows are common, and most feature small fenced-in back yards. Single-family homes start around $300,000 and reach the low $700,000s, while townhouses and condos range from the mid-$200,000s to the mid-$500,000s. With a median price of around $500,000, the neighborhood tends to be more affordable compared to nearby communities like Sunnyside and Regis, which have medians of $800,000 and $610,000, respectively.

Lucero’s & Sons is another local favorite offering a mix of Mexican fare and American pub bites. For more shopping and dining, downtown Denver is just 6 miles south. “Chaffee Park is also close to Sunnyside, which is a popular area with a lot of restaurants,” says Smith.

Development and revitalization in the area
Chaffee Park lies in the city’s Near Northwest side, an area in the midst of revitalization and community improvement projects. The Near Northwest Area Plan is a community-organized project that's underway to improve pedestrian areas, expand commercial corridors and update the area’s zoning code. Such infrastructure improvements can help foster a sense of community. It’s common to see locals out walking their dogs or chatting with their neighbors. “During my time as a member of this community, I had the privilege of firsthand experience with the genuine kindness that radiates here,” says Andrews. “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.”
