Housing options in Cherry Creek vary from traditional to modern

Many apartments, townhouses and condos are in the neighborhood. Their architecture varies from Spanish-influenced and Tudor-influenced to modern designs. “It’s in Denver, so there’s old and new. A lot of the architecture spans from the 1950s all the way to the present. There’s been a lot of scrapes where they’ll tear down the old house and build something new, so it’s varied,” says Rachel Gallegos, a broker associate at Compass, who has 20 years of experience. Condo prices range from the low $300,000s to about $6.5 million, and townhouses are priced between the low $500,000s and nearly $4 million. Prices vary depending on factors such as home size and the age of the building.

Single-family homes are also common, with architecture that varies similarly to that of the area’s condos and townhouses. Many traditional homes, such as Craftsman bungalows, have brick exteriors. Modern houses are often sleek with cement or metal siding. Single-family home prices range from the mid-$700,000s to approximately $7 million. Factors affecting the price include the house’s size, age and condition.

Thanks to Denver selling out to the developers, Cherry Creek is now as much of a joke as the rest of the city If addition to the crazy traffic, the only supermarket and pharmacy within walking distance has been pushed out of the neighborhood. There is a Whole Foods, but it's a joke - like being trapped in an Amway catalogue.
