A rapidly transforming riverfront community

Jefferson Park is a place to watch as homebuyers and visitors rediscover one of the Mile High City’s oldest neighborhoods. After decades of declining populations and increased commercialization, condominiums and contemporary townhouses are revitalizing the neighborhood's housing market. The result is a steady mix of turn-of-the-century houses and new developments. The area's namesake park sits at the center of the community, and Interstate 25 forms a barrier between the residential and recreational parts of this urban strip. By crossing over, folks can easily access some of Denver’s most famous attractions, including the booming Empower Field and Downtown Aquarium.
Jefferson Park is full of fun and entertainment for all age groups.

Classic Victorians meet new Jefferson Park condos

Cranes swivel overhead as upcoming apartments, condos and office complexes are built from the ground up. Modern townhouses with clean lines, large windows and off-street parking list from $675,000 to $850,000, while sleek condos two blocks from Empower Field go for $400,000 to $585,000. These often sit next to neighborhoods that have been around for decades or longer, making for a stark contrast connected by clean sidewalks. Entire streets of renovated Victorian cottages in storybook hues and Mission Revival duplexes hearken back to a much earlier Denver. Most are priced between $655,000 and $830,000 and were built in the early 1900s.

Exploring the namesake park and Children’s Museum

Situated on a bluff overlooking the surrounding community, Jefferson Park provides a grassy space to escape the urban atmosphere and take the dogs for a walk. Residents bring their lawn chairs on the Fourth of July to watch fireworks over the city. They can cross I-25 to reach Gates Crescent Park, where local kids play on the playground and bikers and picnickers enjoy views of Elitch Gardens. Kids also love the hands-on exhibits at the Children's Museum of Denver at Marsico Campus. Their outdoor Adventure Forest offers seasonal activities in the snow and on hot summer days.

Dining and shopping this side of South Platte

Locals stroll to the breweries and eateries that line Federal Boulevard or grab groceries at the Safeway on the north corner. The tavern-style Federal Bar and Grill offers 20 draft beer lines, while dinner guests at Adams Mystery Playhouse solve a murder mystery while choosing from the buffet. Residents can head north to Highland for even more options for a bite to eat.
