An established housing scene with multifamily options
The neighborhood has a diverse housing scene, with a mix of single-family and condo options. Most stand-alone homes were built between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including Craftsman-style bungalows, Tudor revivals and brick foursquares. Many feature small fenced-in backyards and detached garages. While you might be able to find some fixer-uppers in the $400,000s, most single-family homes range from the upper $700,000s to around $1.3 million. Condos and townhouses start in the low $200,000s and reach roughly $1.5 million, with high-end units typically featuring skyline views, luxury interiors and over 1,500 square feet of space.
Highly rated public schools and open enrollment

Easy access to the largest park in Denver
City Park encompasses over 330 acres of green space just north of the neighborhood’s residential streets, and is home to lakes, trails, athletic courts and picnic spots. “City Park is the flagship park of Denver,” says Allison Nuanes, a local broker associate with Compass. “In the summer, it has tons of events and races, plus the Martin Luther King Memorial is there. The park is really like a cultural hub of Denver.” During a day at the park, you can:
Rent paddle boats or cast a line on Ferril Lake
Walk or bike along its 3 miles of paved trails
Take your kids to the large lakeside playground
Practice your serve at one of its 14 tennis courts
Play 18 holes on the regulation golf course
The park is also home to the Denver Zoo, which welcomes over 1 million visitors each year, and the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, which has around a dozen exhibits.

City Park concerts and farmers market bring community together
Along with its athletic facilities and other recreation offerings, the park hosts dozens of popular events throughout the year. In the summer, City Park Jazz puts on concerts where local musicians play blues and traditional jazz. “People come from all over. They bring food and lay out their picnic blankets to enjoy really great jazz concerts,” says Garrett Dinnel, a Realtor on the Bring Home Denver team at Keller Williams. On Saturdays from May through October, the City Park Farmers Market features over 100 vendors selling locally grown produce, hand-crafted items, baked goods and more.
Residents can walk to grab some food at one of the many nearby restaurants.
Shopping, dining and entertainment on Colfax
“Colfax Avenue is a really famous street,” Nuanes says. “It goes all the way through the city to the south of City Park, with tons and tons of businesses and restaurants.” You can find a wide array of local favorites within a short walk:
Goosetown Tavern is known for its burgers and slow-cooked barbecue.
Lost Lake Lounge is a popular bar with regular live music.
Tattered Cover Book Store sells new and used books that you can peruse over a cup of coffee in the attached cafe.
