North Park Hill offers park access near downtown Denver

Around 5 miles from downtown, North Park Hill is a Denver neighborhood known for its walkability and proximity to City Park. Mid-century homes offer established tree-cover and well-maintained sidewalks lead to nearby public schools, restaurants and the city’s largest park, which features the Denver Zoo and a popular golf course. You’ll also find multiple bus routes passing through the area, and the East 29th Avenue Town Center lies across the street.

Charming mid-century homes and a competitive market

Most homes in North Park Hill were built between the 1910s and early 1950s, and styles range from craftsman-style bungalows to brick ranch-style homes. Houses typically feature around 2,500 square feet or less, with small, fenced-in back yards and detached garages. “I’ve worked with a lot of people who end up buying in North Park Hill,” says Tracy Shaffer, broker associate with West + Main Homes who has been living and working in the area for over 15 years. “People like having a quieter, walkable neighborhood while being within 10 minutes of downtown and employers.” You’ll find lower price tags here compared to nearby communities like South Park Hill, and many buyers value location over square footage. Still, with a median price of around $710,000, the neighborhood has higher prices compared to Denver County as a whole, which has a median of $640,000. Homes start in the upper $300,000s and reach around $1.8 million, with prices increasing alongside square footage and high-end upgrades. There is a small selection of two-bedroom townhouses along Jasmine Street, with prices ranging from the upper $200,000s to the mid $300,000s.

Recreation in City Park

One of the biggest draws to the neighborhood is proximity to City Park, the largest municipal park in Denver. “The main thing about Park Hill is its walkability,” says Leo Rowen, broker associate and co-owner of RE/MAX of Cherry Creek. “You’ve got the walkability to the City Park Golf Course, the park itself with the fountains and the zoo. So there’s proximity – you can get on your bike and be right there within seconds. Being outside is a big deal, so people are actually willing to sacrifice size if it’s closer to open space.” Along with the zoo and popular golf course, the park is home to:

  • Athletic facilities, including a baseball diamond, soccer fields and over a dozen tennis courts
  • Two large lakes, where you can rent a boat or cast a line to fish for largemouth bass, carp and perch
  • Over 3 miles of walking and biking trails
  • The Denver Museum of Nature and Science

Public transit and city access

Bus stops line Monaco Street Parkway, 29th Avenue and Colorado Boulevard, with local routes operated by Regional Transportation District (RTD). To reach downtown, you can:

  • Take Route 20 on the RTD bus
  • Drive around 5 miles west along 23rd and 17th avenues
  • Catch the RTD light rail from the 40th and Colorado station
“There are a lot of different ways to get downtown,” says Shaffer. “If one route is experiencing heavy traffic due to weather or an accident, you’re not stuck.” For long-distance trips, Denver International Airport is about 17 miles northeast.

A small business scene close to home

When hunger hits, head on over to Fairfax Street and Long Table Brewhouse, where the century-old building hosts a 50-person taproom, an outdoor patio where dogs are allowed and private areas for reservations. The establishment also features food trucks each day, from Cazuelas Tacos to Wok Paper Scissors. For a bite to eat, Honey Hill Café has it all, from breakfast in the morning and early afternoon to lunch afterward, as well as a cocktail menu and an expansive selection of coffee. Kick your day off with a latte and a breakfast burrito, then come back for a mid-afternoon lunch made with artisan bread like The Big Cheese or The Doonksi.
