Sidewalks offer walkability throughout Hampden South.
Hampden South offers tech center access and Cherry Creek recreation
Just north of the Denver Tech Center, one of the largest employment hubs in the city, Hampden South offers walkable streets, spacious green spaces and easy access to transportation. Interstate 25 provides a direct route to downtown Denver, while over 1,000 tech-based employers are less than a mile away. As its name suggests, the neighborhood lies just south of Hampden Avenue, which is lined with major retailers, restaurants and supermarkets. The area is also served by highly rated public schools, and the nearby Cherry Creek State Park offers thousands of acres of recreation.
The local housing market and cost of living
Hampden South has a diverse housing scene, with a mix of established single-family homes, high-rise condo complexes and spacious townhomes. “There's a high amount of variability and types of housing and demographics,” says Leslie Hazan, a Realtor with Compass who has lived in the Denver area for over 40 years. Ranch-style homes, Colonial Revivals, split levels and Mediterranean-inspired homes built between the 1960s and ‘70s make up most of the single-family market and typically feature fenced-in back yards and attached two-car garages. Most of the area’s townhouses and condos were built between the late 1970s and early 2000s, and most complexes offer amenities like pools and fitness centers. With a median home price of $510,000, Hampden South is generally more affordable compared to nearby neighborhoods like Southmoor Park and Cherry Creek, which have median prices of $810,000 and $1.3 million, respectively. Single-family options start in the upper $400,000s and reach around $1.3 million, while condos and townhomes range from the mid-$100,000s to roughly $1.2 million.
There are many condo options in the neighborhood, like Eastmoor Park Condominiums.

Cherry Creek and Denver schools close to home
Most of the neighborhood is served by Denver Public Schools (DPS), apart from residences east of Boston Street, which are served by the Cherry Creek School District. Both districts are highly rated, and Cherry Creek is widely regarded as one of the best districts in Colorado. The districts each offer open enrollment programs, so families can apply to any school in or outside of their district. If you are thinking about buying in the neighborhood, here’s what you should know about open enrollment in DPS and Cherry Creek:
Admittance is not guaranteed with an application, but families can rank their top school choices.
Both districts use a lottery system for the matching process.
Transportation is the family’s responsibility if attending a school outside of their neighborhood’s attendance zone.
DPS has two application rounds, one from December to January, and the second from January to August, while Cherry Creek just has one application period running from December through May.
The neighborhood is served by DPS and Cherry Creek School District.

The Denver Tech Center and transportation
The Denver Tech Center (DTC) is a 900-acre office park just south of the neighborhood. The center is home to over 1,000 companies, with notable employers including Arrow Electronics, Comcast and EchoStar. Quincy Avenue turns into DTC Boulevard in the neighborhood, which offers a quick route to many of the area’s employers. “The location is really convenient as far as getting around Denver Metro because it's close to major highway systems,” says Hazan. Interstate 25 can take drivers south through DTC or 12 miles northwest to downtown Denver. The Regional Transportation District operates the area’s bus routes, with nearby stops along Monaco Street Parkway, Hampden Avenue and Quincy Avenue. Additionally, Denver International Airport is around 23 miles away.
The local restaurant scene and nearby amenities
When living in Hampden South, you don’t need to go far for shopping or a meal out. Hampden Avenue offers Whole Foods, Target, King Soopers and Walmart, along with dozens of chains and locally owned eateries. To the south, DTC is known for its high-end restaurants and steakhouses. Notable favorites include:
Shanahan’s Steakhouse, known for its east coast oysters and filet mignon
Ocean Prime, a popular upscale seafood restaurant
Yanni’s, which serves Greek fare
La Loma, a local chain known for its elevated Mexican fare and tequila selection
Outdoor recreation near Hampden South
While industry may be the biggest draw to the neighborhood, recreation is a close second. Near the center of the neighborhood, Rosamond Park has athletic fields, tennis courts, walking trails and a playground. The Eastmoor Swim and Tennis Club lies on Princeton Avenue and is open from Memorial Day through Labor Day each year. Cherry Creek State Park spans over 4,000 acres just east of the community and features an expansive reservoir, over 30 miles of hiking trails, a campground and a 100-acre off-leash dog park. The reservoir is one of two in the Denver area that allows motorized boats, and anglers can cast a line from the shore to reel in trout and walleye. There are also four sandy beaches along the shore for swimming and sunbathing. “You can walk or bike to the Cherry Creek trail system and the Highline Canal,” Hazan says. The Highline Canal Trail is around a mile north of the neighborhood and runs for 71 miles.
Rosamond Park has open fields for soccer games in Hampden South.
