South Denver's hidden gem
When people think of South Denver, they may mention big attractions like Washington Park or the University of Denver, but in the thin finger-shaped neighborhood of Overland, there’s a whole world of entertainment, sports and dining to explore. Overland is an old neighborhood, with a history stretching back to the gold rush era of 1859. Over time, it also garnered a reputation as a major transportation hub, a trend that continues today with CanAm Highway and Santa Fe Drive running north-to-south down the middle of Overland. The Evans Light Rail station parallels these major thoroughfares and provides yet another alternative route into Denver, giving residents an easier commute into downtown than surrounding neighborhoods. Despite recent growth, zoning in the neighborhood aims to preserve its residential character.

From pre-1940 bungalows to modern condos
Roughly half of the housing stock in Overland was built before 1940 and most of these homes feature colorful bungalow designs, creative facades and large front porches. These homes typically sell for between $400,000 and $800,000 depending on renovations and condition. For those looking for other floorplans, Chong explains why Overland's new-construction townhouse and condo options have become popular. “People are drawn to these because they're new and affordable.” These modern build condos and townhouses with stone features are more common on the east side of the neighborhood and go for anywhere from $500,000 up to over $1 million. Despite the neighborhood being densely populated, streets are line with sidewalks to allow residents to get around.

Grab a glass of whiskey or a hot slice
Cultural amenities in Overland also have historic flair. In the 1200 to 1600 blocks of South Broadway Street, pedestrians flock to "Antique Row,” where they'll quickly find hip establishments to meet their needs. Laws Whiskey House, for example, is located in a large cream and navy warehouse building and the owners tout that in their locale 'there are no shortcuts.' Their philosophy requires making whiskey with low-yield heirloom grains grown in the Rocky Mountains at both extremes: hot and cold. The end result is a taste of Colorado in a glass. Just two blocks up the road residents will also find Joy Hill Denver, where locals can grab a slice of pizza and enjoy chowing down al fresco, with outdoor seating options complete with views of the mountains. For groceries and everyday essentials, locals head to Whole Foods Market, just north of the neighborhood.

Proximity to the South Platte River
Proximity to bodies of water is an alluring natural feature of Overland. You can traverse almost the entire western stretch of this neighborhood by taking the South Platte River Trail. Pick up the trail at Grant-Frontier Park in the southwest stretch of Overland, which features reconstructed and historic pioneer artifacts like a cabin, a wagon and mining equipment. A reminder of Overland’s trailblazing past also appears through a 200-year-old cottonwood tree, now surrounded by a new plaza that hosts educational workshops. Nestled up north, you can fish at Overland Pond or simply walk next door to the bigger Overland Lake. Both of these crown Overland Golf Course.
