Residential Ruby Hill is about 6 miles from downtown Denver
Ruby Hill is a primarily residential neighborhood about 6 miles outside downtown Denver. “I think people like living in Ruby Hill because it’s a lot of single-family homes and large yards, and it’s close to downtown,” says Councilwoman Flor Alvidrez, who has been serving the neighborhood since June 2023 and grew up in the area. Another neighborhood draw is Ruby Hill Park and all its amenities, including the Levitt Pavilion, which hosts free concerts. Locals can find an array of stores and restaurants within a few miles of home. Most families send their students to Denver Public Schools, which earn a B from Niche.

Ruby Hill Park is one of the largest parks in Denver
Ruby Hill Park takes up the eastern part of the neighborhood. “It’s one of the biggest parks, and highest points, in Denver,” Alvidrez says. Locals can ride the BMX trail or watch a baseball game before visiting the community garden while their kids run around the playground. In January, Denver Parks and Recreation works with Winter Park Resort to open the Ruby Hill Rail Yard, which uses manmade snow to create a place for skiers and snowboarders to ride the slopes. People can hike along the Sanderson Gulch and use the gym and indoor pool at Athmar Recreation Center. Overland Golf Course, the oldest course still open west of the Mississippi, features an 18-hole course.

Keeping warm in Ruby Hill
During the winter, Ruby Hill and the rest of Denver are prone to extreme cold and severe winter weather.
