Robert W. Speer’s City Beautification movement
One of Denver's earliest and most influential mayors, Robert W. Speer's passion for the City Beautiful movement is still felt in his namesake neighborhood. Often referred to as an “Old Denver” district, historic architecture is found among homes and local institutions. “Speer has a lot of apartments going up, especially along Speer Boulevard,” says Will Torrence, a longtime local and employee at the Denver Public Library. “It’s close to the University of Denver, so there are some college students floating around there. And it’s close to South Pearl Street. There are a number of farmer’s markets in Denver, but the one on South Pearl? That’s definitely the biggest.”
Speer’s network of trails and paths offers convenient routes for Denver cyclists.

Foreign films at Landmark Mayan Theatre
Trendy bars, galleries, boutiques and entertainment venues have decorated South Broadway for decades. Locals can catch the latest foreign and arthouse films at Landmark Mayan Theatre, one of only three surviving Art Deco Mayan Revival cinemas in the country. “The Hornet is a big bar that’s been around forever,” says Torrence. The bar sits across the street from the theater, with checkerboard floors and craft beer. And retro juke joint, Skylark Lounge, has hosted comedy acts and concerts since 1943, suitable for a nightcap. “Skylark is a big hot spot and always has live music,” Torrence continues. As for daily amenities, Speer’s residents will find a Trader Joe’s less than a mile north on Logan Street, as well as a Safeway off E 6th Avenue.

Home of the Cedar Falcons
Speer’s students are zoned for Denver Public Schools, beginning at either Steele Elementary, receiving an A-minus from Niche, or Dora Moore School, which enrolls pre-kindergarten through eighth grade and receives a C-plus from Niche. Many of Speer's schools were influenced by the City Beautiful movement, sweeping Denver throughout the early 1900s.

Historic recreation and green spaces along Cherry Creek
The Denver County Club’s reputation as the oldest on the west side of the Mississippi is only strengthened by its continual evolution, now offering members an 18-hole golf course, an Olympic-size swimming pool, racquet sports and a skating rink. Denver’s Botanic Gardens display vast art exhibitions among the greenery. The venue’s sunken amphitheater regularly hosts a variety of musicians and shows. As for more traditional outdoor recreation, Speer’s residents can find solace at Hungarian Freedom Park, honoring the 1956 Hungarian Uprising. The park’s monuments juxtapose its vibrant green space. And north, across Cherry Creek, Alamo Placita Park was originally a cottonwood grove. Today, many of its original old-growth trees still shade the Italianate Garden.
