An urban community growing in popularity
The community of Congress Park in Denver, Colorado, was once considered second-rate when compared to its neighbors. "But now the secret's out," says Leo Rowen, a broker at RE/MAX who has lived in the neighborhood for over 20 years. Featuring cozy bungalows and American Foursquares neatly situated along tree-lined streets, Congress Park offers a small-town feel in a big city. "Some people won't even consider moving because they don't want to leave their longtime friends who live next door." Another part of the appeal is Congress Park's proximity to some of Denver's best outdoor recreational spots, like City Park, which features everything from a zoo to a golf course. Easy access to the area’s many local establishments gives residents here a place to peruse through a collection of records or head to a wine tasting all within their neighborhood. With plentiful bike lanes and proximity to downtown Denver, locals here enjoy a residential community with easy access to the city's center.

Bungalows, American Foursquares and more
Residential development here started around the 1890s with stately Queen Anne homes, but it shifted throughout the early 20th century to feature many of the styles the Denver area is known for today: Craftsman bungalows, known for their pitched roofs and overhanging eves and Foursquares, known for their boxy shapes and large windows. Rowen says, "On a nice day, people grab a drink and sit to talk on their porches." Prices typically range from around $262,000 for a condo to upwards of $3.6 million for a larger property. It's rare to find a single-family home for under $700,000 here. Decorative trees line sidewalks that stretch along the narrow roads on which many people park. Over half of the residents here rent their property, and people here enjoy homeowners association benefits.

Congress Park, the Denver Zoo, City Park and more
The neighborhood gets its name from Congress Park, a green space with multiuse fields, tennis courts and an outdoor pool that has become a gathering place for the community. Less than a mile away, the 80-acre Chessman Park's grassy lawn and stately Greek-style marble Cheeseman Memorial have become popular among picnickers, and at the bordering Denver Botanic Gardens, locals walk through themed areas and check out the sunken amphitheater during the summer concert series. Just north of the neighborhood is City Park, which has everything from the award-winning Denver Zoo to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science to plenty of outdoor recreational spaces like the City Park Golf Course. Lisa Santos, a resident of Congress Park and a Realtor at Compass, says, "They'll have jazz in the park, and you'll just see loads of people walking with picnic baskets and bottles of wine." From May to October, locals gather at the City Park Farmers Market to peruse through fresh produce and grab a bite to eat.
Congress Park has incredible access to City park and all it has to offer, just a few blocks North
Botanical Gardens offers enumerable events throughout the year.

Eateries, stores and a nonprofit film center
Local establishments line 12th Avenue. Santos recommends Sienna Wine Bar & Small Plates, a cozy eatery that features happy hour specials and wines that rotate by the season. Patrons sip on their drinks and try small Mediterranean-inspired dishes on the patio, or head inside for an evening filled with mellow lighting and tasty flavors. Nearby, Sweet Cooie's Ice Cream and Confectionery transports patrons back in time with its baby blue interior and bubblegum pink stools. Those craving Detroit-style pizza take a seat at the popular Blue Pan Pizza. Coffee lovers can enjoy all that Under thehe Umbrella Cafe and Bakery has to offer. East Colfax Avenue, toward the north, has an eclectic assortment of businesses. Bookworms explore two floors brimming with literary gems at Tattered Cover, and, at Twist & Shout, shoppers peruse rows of records and CDs. On nights they’d like to eat in, locals can grab groceries at nearby stores like Trader Joe's. Those wanting to enjoy an obscure artistic theater head to the Sie FilmCenter, home of the Denver Film Society, a nonprofit organization that hosts the Denver Film.

Denver Public Schools
Students can enroll in the Denver Public Schools, the largest district in Colorado. To start their educational journey, they can attend Teller Elementary, which received a B-plus rating on Niche.

Commutes and major employers
Some locals here drive, but they can also take advantage of RTD's public transportation options. Commuters enjoy the bike lanes on East Seventh Avenue Parkway and 12th Avenue, making commutes to downtown Denver, which is 3 miles away, safe. Locals here will be near National Jewish Health, which is in the northern corner of the neighborhood, and some of Denver County's major employers, like Arrow Electronics, which is just around 13 miles south via Interstate 25. Congress Park residents can also enjoy their proximity to the Denver International Airport (DEN), which is just about 22 miles east via Interstate 70.

Public services are adquate for a city of this size. I believe they do well with snow removal. However there is a huge homeless problem in Denver.

I love the neighborhood. It is quiet and the houses are charming. We are close to everything from downtown, cherry creek, the interstates, and DIA. I hope to one day be able to purchase a home in this neighborhood.

Pretty much everything I need is within a few blocks from me. And the restaurants are local businesses instead of chain restaurants.
