Walkable streets and park-side living in Cheesman Park
Right on the outskirts of downtown Denver, Cheesman Park is a neighborhood known for its walkable streets and large community park. Colfax Avenue lies directly north of the community with dozens of businesses and amenities, and public transit stops throughout the neighborhood offer easy access across the city. In addition to its titular park, the neighborhood’s gridded streets are lined with historic homes from the early 1900s, many of which have been renovated into multi-family properties.
Housing styles and price points
Condos and townhomes make up the majority of the housing scene in Cheesman Park, including both high-rise complexes and repurposed single-family homes. Victorian homes, brick Foursquares, Craftsman-style bungalows and Colonial Revivals line the area’s streets, and many condos feature private balconies. “The houses are older, so they have a lot of character,” says Andrew Wolfe, a managing broker with Windermere Metro Denver Real Estate who used to live in the area. “It’s great for people who like older homes and don’t mind the extra maintenance.” Condos and townhomes start in the mid-$100,000s and reach around $1.7 million, with units on the high end typically featuring over 1,500 square feet and panoramic views of the park. Single-family options hit the market less frequently and range from the low $600,000s to around $2.5 million.
Many of the single-family homes in Cheesman Park date back to the early 1900s.
Some single-family homes have been converted into condos and apartments.

Recreation close to home and events in the park
The neighborhood’s namesake park covers around 80 acres and serves as a community hub. “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 Wolfe, “It’s one of Denver’s best-kept secrets.” Cheesman Park has walking trails, open space, a playground and a scenic pavilion. “Denverites are really drawn to some of the festivals and events that happen here, especially in the summer,” says Allison Nuanes, a broker associate with Compass who has sold many homes in the area. Popular events include:
The Cheesman Park Art Fest, a free event each July with live music, food trucks and over 150 artists showcasing their work
A free concert series at the Levitt’s Pavilion every Sunday in the summer
Blossoms of Light, a yearly light show at the Denver Botanic Gardens open from late November to early January.
Cheesman Park is home to walking trails and a scenic pavilion.
The neighborhood's namesake park is a community hotspot.

Walkability, parking and public transit
Cheesman Park’s gridded streets and well-maintained sidewalks make it a pedestrian- and biker-friendly neighborhood. Most single-family homes have detached garages accessible from the rear of the property. Some residents live in condo buildings with designated parking garages, while others rely on street parking. The Regional Transportation District operates the area’s bus routes, with nearby stops along Colfax, Eighth and 12th avenues.
Denver East High School is nearby.
Highly rated public schools nearby
The area is served by Denver Public Schools, a highly rated district with nearby options like Morey Middle and East High School. The district has a wide array of career and technical education programs and dual enrollment courses.

Great vibe. Lots to do, high walkability. Great park, coffee and ice cream shops, restaurants, etc. Tree lined streets, some historical buildings. Feels safe.
