Hampden South
Housing options range from condos to traditional ranch-style homes
Despite the easy access to a jobs hub, Hampden South is far enough from Denver’s urban core to keep home prices reasonable, says Brett Zuckerman, a broker associate at Madison & Co. Properties who has lived in Denver for more than a decade. “It’s a very attractive second step for a lot of people.” Homebuyers interested in the neighborhood can choose from condos concentrated on the west and south sides, or rows of split-level and ranch-style homes to the north and east. The latter option’s small yards are usually trimmed grass lawns, though some houses elect for gravel lawns to cut down on upkeep and water use. Two-bedroom condos start in the low $200,000s, with three-bedroom single-family houses priced in the high $500,000s. A spacious house with six bedrooms or a luxury penthouse condo is likely to cost more than $1 million. The market is competitive, with the average home selling in less than four weeks, but Zuckerman says buyers in Hampden South aren’t as likely to be bidding against deep-pocketed companies as they might in other development-heavy neighborhoods.Neighborhood shopping centers with restaurants, supermarkets and more
Living near the Denver Tech Center doesn’t just put you close to jobs; the neighborhood is an entertainment center as well. For example, Pindustry, 3 miles outside Hampden South, offers a spot for a night of bowling, a round of arcade games or a weekend concert. Meanwhile, a shopping center in the middle of the neighborhood is full of restaurants, so it’s never a long drive to try some Denver cuisine. FelFel brings the flavors of the Mediterranean to the mountains with falafel and shawarma plates that can be picked up in a snappy, counter-service atmosphere. The north end of the neighborhood is where you’ll find a Whole Foods Market, while a Target less than a mile away provides an option for those who want to knock out their whole shopping list at one store.Living near highly rated schools in the Denver Public Schools district
If kids in Hampden South attend the Denver Public Schools system, they don’t have to go far in the mornings or afternoons. Many children start at Southmoor Elementary, which is in the neighborhood and earns an A-minus from Niche. Southmoor treats students to RRCK’n Moose Day every Friday, a day of themed creative activities. Kids may dress up like pirates, dance to music or work on art projects. Meanwhile, B-minus-rated Hamilton Middle School and A-minus-rated Thomas Jefferson High School are less than 2 miles from Hampden South.Rosamond Park features athletic fields and trail access
With four parks spread among the community, Hampden South’s plentiful green spaces are another highlight of the neighborhood, Zuckerman adds. Some residents can cross the street from their front porches to enter Rosamond Park, where the landscape transitions from open athletic fields to a shaded stream. Rosamond Park is along the Goldsmith Gulch Trail, a 15-mile trail through the Denver metro area that residents can use to walk between Rosamond Park and Wallace Park.Commuters can use public transit or major highways to reach downtown
Whether residents need to commute to the tech center, less than a mile away, or downtown Denver, 12 miles away, they can use the Regional Transportation District’s Southmoor Station, which is less than half a mile from the neighborhood, to hop on a public train and bypass traffic. Locals can reach downtown Denver within 45 minutes by rail, while the drive along Interstate 25 may take 40 minutes or more, depending on traffic.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
