Holly Hills is a quiet neighborhood around 10 miles south of downtown Denver. Mature trees and dense greenery give the community an almost-rural feel, while major employers, public transportation and shopping are all within a few miles.
The neighborhood doesn’t see a lot of through traffic, apart from Yale Avenue, and well-maintained sidewalks provide walkability. “It is so close to Denver that you can take advantage of all the downtown activities and then be home in a few short minutes,” says Barb Perruccio broker and owner at Great Place Real Estate, Inc., who has over 18 years of real estate experience in Denver. “It’s got a very rural feeling, but it’s not far away. You get more space to raise a family and not feel like you are living in the middle of a big city.”
Many residents can walk to nearby public green spaces. Numerous recreation areas are within 2 miles of the community in surrounding neighborhoods like Wellshire and Hampden.
Most houses here were built throughout the 1950s and 60s, from ranch-style homes and bungalows to split-levels and Colonial Revivals. “You’ll find a diverse range of price points and home sizes in Holly Hills,” says Nadia Hrovat, an experienced Denver-area Realtor with Keller Williams Realty. “There’s a mix of old and new, with some lots leveled with brand new mini mansions.” Spacious lots are a big draw to the area, with properties ranging from around 6,000 square feet to over a quarter acre. Prices start in the low $500,000s for ranch-style homes and up to $1.1 million for larger homes with interior upgrades or those on quarter-acre lots.
Even though the community has a cohesive feel, it’s split between Arapahoe and Denver counties, so property taxes are not the same on each street. Denver has a residential property tax rate of 0.45% compared to Arapahoe County’s 0.55%. On the other hand, Denver County has slightly higher sales taxes in comparison.
The area is served by highly rated public schools, including Holly Hills Elementary School and West Middle School. Cherry Creek High School is ranked among the best high schools in Colorado and has an extensive list of extracurricular activities and a robust STEM program. Highline Academy Charter School serves kindergarten through eighth-grade students, with small class sizes and Spanish language classes that begin in kindergarten.
Holly Hills lies around 9 miles from downtown Denver, with Interstate 25 providing the most direct route. “Most people in Denver are using their cars to commute, and I-25 makes this area really desirable,” Hrovat says. “In Holly Hills, can get to downtown, Castle Rock and Englewood all in around 20 minutes.” RTD-Denver operates the area’s bus routes, with nearby stops along Yale Avenue. The Yale light rail station lies just west of Holly Hills, with routes E and H leading directly into the city. Denver International Airport is around 25 miles northwest.
The neighborhood is also within a 20-minute commute of some of the city’s largest employers, including the University of Denver, HCA HealthOne and the Denver City and County offices. The Denver Tech Center is also just 4 miles south.
You can reach a variety of shopping centers and amenities within a few minutes, with East Hampden Avenue and South Holly Street serving as the area’s main commercial corridors. Target, Whole Foods and King Soopers are all nearby, along with the stores at University Hills Plaza and Villa Monaco.
“The Colorado Athletic Club Monaco is one of the most active businesses in the area, with a very popular outdoor pool and indoor workout facilities,” Perruccio says. “They have a fantastic staff and great rapport in the community.” The club also hosts kids' programs, a swim team and a diverse collection of fitness classes.
There are dozens of popular restaurants within a five-minute drive of Holly Hills in areas like Goldsmith and Hampden, from quaint mom-and-pop cafes to long-standing Mexican eateries.
