Quiet streets and skyline views in Villa Park
The rolling hills of Villa Park give way to panoramic views of downtown Denver, just 3 miles away. The neighborhood features a mix of modest homes, with price tags that draw investors and first-time buyers alike. The area is known for its proximity to downtown and easy access to public transit, while spacious parks and nearby trails offer recreational opportunities. And buyers can choose from a mix of fixer uppers, cozy townhomes and recently renovated builds.
Ranch-style homes and bungalows are common in the neighborhood.
Established homes with investment potential
Ranch-style homes, bungalows and Cape Cods line the neighborhood’s streets, and most were built between the early 1900s and 1960s. You can find comparatively lower priced homes with in need of some elbow grease, along with move-in-ready builds with high-end appliances that typically price a little higher. Single-family homes start in the mid-$200,000s and reach the low $700,000s, while townhouses range from the upper $100,000s to the mid-$700,000s. “There’s a lot of rental properties and investors in this area,” says Travis Wilcox, a local broker owner with RISE Real Estate. “It’s a popular area for its low prices and proximity to everything.” The median home price is around $440,000, which is lower than nearby neighborhoods like West Colfax and Two Creeks, which have medians of $690,000 and $500,000, respectively.
Public schools nearby
Part of Denver Public Schools (DPS), Eagleton Elementary and Cowell Elementary are both located in the neighborhood. Many Villa Park students attend Denver North High School, a short drive away in Highland. The district offers an open-enrollment program, allowing families to apply to any public school in the area. Here’s what you should know about open enrollment in DPS:
Families submit applications for the following school year between December and January for round one.
Round one admissions are based on a lottery system, before round two accepts applicants on a first-come, first-served basis.
While the system is largely lottery based, higher priority is granted to students who live within the school’s boundary, have a sibling that currently attends the choice school or are children of a staff member of the school.
If you live outside of a school’s attendance zone, transportation is the responsibility of the family.

Public transit and commute times
One of the biggest perks of living in Villa Park is proximity to downtown Denver. Drivers can take Colfax Avenue around 3 miles east to downtown, which typically takes between 10 and 15 minutes, depending on traffic. The Regional Transportation District operates bus stops along Sixth and 10th avenues. “The local Perry and Knox light rail stops are also significant advantages for commuters heading into Denver,” says Maria Irivarren, a broker associate at Compass. Most residents are less than a mile from the nearest rail station, with the A Line providing a direct route from Union Station to Denver International Airport. Interstate 25 offers quick access to the Denver Tech Center.
The Knox light rail stop is convenient for commuters heading into Denver.
Downtown Denver is just 3 miles away.

Community projects in the works
Along with regular home renovations and investment projects, there are a number of community improvement plans in the works. The Villa Park Neighborhood Association runs the Green Team, a group of locals working to improve public spaces and parks in the neighborhood. Recent projects include building benches for neighborhood bus stops, planting pollinator gardens and cleaning up the Lakewood Gulch Trail area. New townhomes and affordable housing complexes are also in development.
Local businesses on Federal Boulevard and a short drive to shopping
“In Villa Park you have close proximity to Federal Boulevard,” Wilcox says. “South Broadway also has a ton of bars and restaurants and is very close.” The area features a wide array of businesses, from major retailers to small, family-owned restaurants:
El Zarape serves classic Mexican fare.
Tacos El Pueblita is a local food truck known for its steak and pork tacos.
Odell Brewing serves pizza and craft beer with a rooftop patio overlooking Sloan’s Lake.
Carniceria y Fruteria La Mexicana sells produce, meat, snacks and made-to-order food.

Well, the crime is not a thing that you see daily here because it is a safe area, maybe I don't see the police so much but when they are needed they come very quickly

It's a small neighborhood that has seen a lot of growth within the last decade and has a select few new houses/townhomes. It's a bit run down and old with some insect pests and some crime. I would like to see more updated homes and a better handle on the crime.

I am new to Colorado. I just moved to Denver from San Francisco. It is a neighborhood of single-family homes with close access to freeways. There is a fair amount of crime in this neighborhood.
