Updated Victorian homes, foursquares and contemporary housing
Platt Park’s streets are lined with a treasure trove of eclectic and modern styles. “You’ve got a lot of older houses out there, built near the turn of the century,” Galligan says. "Very upscale stuff." Rows of Victorian gable-front homes, often adorned with colorful fish scale shingles, can be found on South Pennsylvania Street. Spanish Revivals with terracotta-tiled roofs pop up among more common Denver Squares and Craftsman bungalows. Modern renovations and contemporary builds, like those in Platt Park Townhomes, are also available. Prices can range from about $400,000 for a small condo up to more than $2 million for large, newly built homes. Most of the area’s homes sell for between $800,000 and $1 million and typically stay on the market for about two weeks.

The weather is great. Its sunny 300 days a year, the grass is green due to a good amount of rainfall, and there is little risk of significantly damaging natural disasters. The snow in the winter is actually quite beautiful, and because of th every sunny climate, snow doesn't stick around for too long.

The restaurants and bars in the area are incredible. It is some of the highest regarded food in the city, and the drinks are just the same. Not only is there great dinner places, but great brunch places and coffee shops. You can get anything from southern comfort food, to sushi, to bar food.
