Northeast Park Hill
Midcentury homes on well-shaded streets
Bungalows with sloped roofs adorn quiet, well-shaded streets in Northeast Park Hill. Midcentury ranch-style homes are popular closer to North Park Hill, where the post-war baby boom prompted the mass construction of houses along rectangular blocks of streets. Many homes are priced between $300,000 and $600,000, including duplexes and triplexes. Condominiums in developments like Park Hill Village were mainly built in the 2000s. Most residential hubs are in the neighborhood’s southern half, as industrial parks and commerce inch down from Commerce City to the north. I-70 serves as a loose divider between industrial and residential quadrants.

Craft beer and hearty sandwiches
Many local dining and retail options occupy historic buildings, like Long Table Brewhouse. Situated off 29th Avenue, the building is decades old, serving as both a grocery store and coffin manufacturer before distributing craft beer. A Walmart Super Center and Sam’s Club occupy newer buildings in Quebec Square, while Spinelli’s Market and Deli is known for its hearty sandwiches. Dandy Lion Coffee creates a garden ambiance with a greenhouse inside for customers to peruse. And the Park Hill Farm & Flea Market is open seasonally, featuring local food and craft vendors.

A landmark of remembrance
The Park Hill Art Festival occurs annually in June, a fine arts show held on the grounds of the historic Masonic Lodge. And in July, Park Hill hosts the largest Independence Day parade in Denver. Montview Presbyterian Church served as a meeting place for The Park Hill Action Committee in 1961. The committee, a group of residents looking to integrate the neighborhood, would join Martin Luther King, Jr. at the church in 1967 to promote local civil rights. Today, the building is a landmark of remembrance and the social activism that shaped the neighborhood’s history. “It’s a truly diverse community now,” says Bobby Dean, a manager and coach at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Recreation Center. “My sports teams reflect the community, and what’s reflected is all cultures.”
Public and private schooling in Denver County
Local students can attend Denver County School District 1. Though many schools within the neighborhood struggle with reading and math scores, most offer dual-language programs alongside partnerships with community organizations and learning centers. Margaret Smith Elementary earns a C+ on Niche and boats a 12:1 student-to-teacher ratio. Bruce Randolph School enrolls grades 6-12, earning a C- on Niche and offering dual enrollment among other college prep programs. Denver School of the Arts and McAuliffe International School are lauded by the state of Colorado for their curricula and achievements. Both schools earn an A on Niche.The Martin Luther King, Jr. Recreation Center
City Park sits on the western border of Park Hill. The 330-acre plot holds lakes, playgrounds, trails, the Denver Zoo and the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. The Martin Luther King, Jr. Recreation Center is a neighborhood staple. “The center has been remodeled twice since 1978,” Dean says. “We have a lap pool and a therapy pool. There are only two therapy pools in the city! But we’re really known for pickleball. We have outdoor courts, and games three days a week.” The City of Axum Park was named for Denver’s sister city in Ethiopia, featuring a mural painted by local artists and wide-open meadows. Off East 35th Avenue, Skyland Park has the Hiawatha Davis Jr. Recreation Center, with an indoor track and pool.

Commuting to the Mile High City
Residents commuting downtown can expect an 8-mile drive via accessible highways I-70 and I-25. Denver’s Regional Transportation District (RTD) runs shuttles and a light rail between the city’s epicenter and surrounding suburbs. Bus stops can be found along Martin Luther King Boulevard, while the light rail’s A-Line offers a Central Park Station Platform two miles east. Northeast Park Hill’s convenient proximity to both I-70 and I-270, as well as its 20-mile commute to Denver International Airport, make this neighborhood largely car-dependent.
