Denver neighborhood with natural beauty
Only 2 miles from downtown Denver, Cheesman Park is known for its expansive namesake greenspace that has sprawling grassy fields and a decorative landscape. “If you’re someone who wants to live near greenery but still have the Denver city experience, Cheesman Park is a great way to go about it,” says Andrew Wolfe, a managing broker with Windermere Metro Denver Real Estate who used to live in the area. “It’s one of Denver’s best-kept secrets.” In addition to its titular park, the neighborhood’s gridded streets are lined with historic homes from the early 1900s that have been renovated into multi-family properties. Shopping and dining are easy to access as well, mostly situated along Colfax Avenue.

Historic homes turned multi-family properties
Housing options in Cheesman Park have turn-of-the-century character, specifically because of the surrounding historic districts. The northeastern section of the neighborhood is called Wyman’s Addition, which features original Denver Squares and Queen Annes that were built in the early 1900s and have since been renovated and turned into condominiums and apartments. Many of these buildings have flat roofs, balconies and front porch areas. Units typically span 600 to 1,000 square feet and cost $250,000 to $450,000. “The houses are older, so they have a lot of character,” Wolfe says. “It’s great for people who like older homes and don’t mind the extra maintenance.” The rest of the neighborhood is a mix of attached townhouses and condominiums in buildings originally constructed in the 1970s and 1980s. Units range from 800 to 1,400 square feet and are priced between $275,000 and $700,000, depending on condition and number of bedrooms. Front yards are small, if nonexistent, and there is ample street parking. Since many of the housing options in Cheesman Park are multi-family, most residents rent their properties instead of owning them.

City parks with gardens and grassy fields
Cheesman Park’s namesake greenspace is 80 acres of grassy fields at the center of the neighborhood. “The park in general is pretty lively,” Wolfe says. “There will be pick-up volleyball games, where people bring and set up the nets to play.” Multiuse pathways wind throughout the area, leading to ornate flower gardens and picnic areas. There’s also a playground at the park with slides and a swing set. Standing proud at the center is the Cheesman Memorial Pavilion, a marble structure with pillars and three fountains that pays homage to the former cemetery that used to be located on the grounds. The iconic pavilion hosts weddings and city events throughout the year.
Adjacent to the park is the Denver Botanic Gardens. Visitors can walk through Colorado-specific and international gardens and ornamental and water gardens. The Hive Garden Bistro sits at the center of the area for lunch. The conservatory building on the gardens’ eastern edge has rotating exhibits and art collections, and there’s a sunken amphitheater for live, outdoor performances. Down the road, Congress Park has multiple sports facilities such as tennis courts, an outdoor pool and soccer and baseball fields.

Community gatherings and annual events
Cheesman Park’s titular green space is a central gathering place for the neighborhood. The memorial pavilion is the site of annual festivals like Denver's PrideFest Parade and AIDS Walk Colorado. Additionally, the botanic gardens’ amphitheater hosts summer events with live music. Closer to the city’s heart, a handful of art museums surround the scenic Civic Center Park, where a concert series takes place in the summer and, for the holidays, a mile-high tree lighting.
