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.
The streets of Ruby Hill typically have well-maintained sidewalks.

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.

People also attend events throughout Denver, such as the Underground Music Showcase. “It’s the biggest music festival in Denver,” Alvidrez says.

Locals visit stores and restaurants near Ruby Hill
Residents of Ruby Hill are only a short drive from restaurants and stores. “Pho 95 is a great pho place, and the best Mexican food in Denver is at Torres,” Alvidrez says. These are just a few eateries along Federal Boulevard, just outside the neighborhood. Locals also travel to downtown Denver, where they can get dinner and drinks at places such as My Brother’s Bar, the oldest bar in the city. People get their groceries from Save A Lot, about 1 mile away, and can shop at one of several farmers markets throughout Denver. “Ruby Hill is close to the best farmers market in Denver, the South Pearl Street Farmers Market,” Alvidrez says. During the summer, residents only need to drive about 2 miles to explore the selection of fresh produce, baked goods and artisan cheeses while listening to live music and visiting food trucks. Walmart is about 1 mile away, Target is about a 4-mile drive and Lowe’s is about 6 miles away.

The Denver International Airport is about 30 miles away, and the closest emergency room is at AdventHealth Porter, about a 3-mile drive.
Keeping warm in Ruby Hill
During the winter, Ruby Hill and the rest of Denver are prone to extreme cold and severe winter weather. Residents are encouraged to dress warmly, limit the time they and their pets spend outside and keep dry. To prevent frozen pipes, homeowners can open cabinet doors near exposed pipes and turn a faucet onto a slow drip. They should also know where the water shut-off valve is if a water line breaks.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Ruby Hill is a great little Park. It is the neighborhood I live in and it is very peaceful. Ruby Hill's bike and run track is convenient for those of us who love to go out for a run. The park is great place to go in the winter and take the kids and go sledding. All the baseball games in the park make a great night full of adventure.

I like the area but the violence and crime rate are going up. I no longer feel safe walking around my neighborhood.
