Denver suburb with pedestrian-friendly streets
Wellshire isn’t a neighborhood to be taken for granted, and locals know that. “Wellshire is a great look at old Denver,” says Realtor Sam Neumann, host of the YouTube channel Denver Living with Sam Neumann. “It’s very walkable and there are beautiful homes from the ‘40s and ‘50s.” Most roads have sidewalks and bike trails, although further south in the neighborhood the sidewalks disappear in favor of wide roads. “This is a community that has grown organically,” says Michelle Wise and Cheryle Crown, Realtors for Worth Clark Realty as part of the Living in Denver Colorado team. “Neighborhood activities come from people being out and about and being neighborly.” Wellshire is about 10 miles from Downtown Denver but retains its feel of suburbia rather than big city.
Wellshire is a suburban neighborhood just 9 miles south of Denver.

Ranch and ranch-style with high median price and some new construction
On the neighborhood’s northern side, streets branch out from the main thoroughfares in neat rows, while Cherry Hills III offers private, gated townhome options. The majority of Wellshire’s homes are ranch or ranch-style, although new custom-build contemporary homes may have two stories. “Sales are sparse because the area is so small and people don’t want to leave,” Neumann says. The median price for homes in Wellshire is $1.295 million, with a few homes under $600,000. Most ranch and ranch-style homes, however, begin around $620,000 and reach $1.5 million. Homes can be close together, but are generally set back from the street, leaving room for manicured lawns and gardens. “The homes are very well taken care of,” says Wise and Crown. “And it’s a high-end economic area, so once something comes on the market, people buy it quickly.” Crossing Dartmouth Avenue, heading toward the golf course, streets curve to reveal expanded lots with homes that offer more square footage and variety, from new Craftsman builds with sleek, horizontal siding in pale shades of cream to modern farmhouse homes with decorative shutter designs and warm, natural tones. These newer homes often sell for over $1 million, with a few reaching $2.4 million.
Some new custom build homes in Wellshire market for 1.5 million dollars.

Dance education, band and Advanced Placement classes
Children in the neighborhood can begin at Slavens Elementary School, which also boasts a large field and a few garden plots that children can help maintain. Serving kindergarten through eighth grade students, Slavens offers band and dance education to students. “Slavens is consistently ranked highly and is safe,” says Crown and Wise. “So it’s a big draw for families with younger children.” Following eighth grade, most students will move on to attend Thomas Jefferson High School. At TJ, students are able to enroll in Advanced Placement and honors classes, as well as participate in traditions such as ArtFest and a Talent Show and Back Yard BBQ. The high school also has a Center for Communication Technology program where students can receive training mechanical engineering, digital media production and software engineering. Both schools score an A-minus from Niche.
