The West End of Denver

The West End of Greenwood Village in Arapahoe County, Denver, is a small, tony, suburban neighborhood just west of the Denver Technological Center. As Denver sprawls and the light rail extends, exterior suburbs with their own home rule, like Greenwood Village, become places where home buyers seek the convenience of the city and the good schools and lower crime of the suburbs.

Postwar homes with cattle ranching history

Streets without sidewalks built over old cow paths manifest the cattle ranching history of what was formerly called Greenwood Ranch. Today, these well-paved roads are shaded by cypress and pine trees as they run past large, peaceful residences. Postwar ranch-style homes with three bedrooms and three baths on large lots are selling for under $850,000. For under $2 million, there are postwar ranch-style homes made of brick renovated with new additions to house over $3,000 square feet of space on lush land up to an acre on private streets. At the top of the market, vast late-century Tudor-style estates with separate wings and five or more bedrooms on an acre are listed for under $4 million.

Hitting the High Line Canal dirt trails

The High Line Canal Trail is a hard-packed dirt trail that loops through West End alongside a small waterway called the High Line Canal. The trail connects to Arapahoe County's extensive network of over 75 miles of paved and soft trails. In 2003, county residents voted for a 0.25% tax on personal property to fund 20 miles of new trails and several new parks. In West End, four parks and two other small green spaces are connected to the High Line Canal Trail. Rollin D. Barnard Equestrian Park has a series of obstacles and runs for horses and an area planted with native plants for human visitors. Curtis Park is a 6-acre space with fields and playgrounds connected to a small cultural center. Greenwood Pines Park is a long 6-acre greenbelt where visitors fly kites and picnic along the High Line Canal. Cherryville Park is a 3-acre respite from the commerce of next-door University Boulevard.
Trails run through the entire neighborhood of West End, bringing neighbors together.

Getting around on the interstate and the light rail

University Boulevard runs north through the University of Denver and onto downtown, reaching the Denver Botanic Gardens 7 miles from West End. Interstate 25, which runs north/south across Greater Denver, is 3 miles east of the neighborhood and leads from West End to Coors Field in a 12-mile straight shot. The Orchard Station on the E/R lines of the Denver Light Rail is 4 miles east of West End. Commuters can reach downtown from here in under 30 minutes.

Tech employs West End residents

Aside from the schools, proximity to the Denver Tech Center just 3 miles east is a selling point for many residents in West End. This 800-acre network of tech offices employs many across Denver, and the city expanded the light rail system to stop here. Locals say West End is mostly families and retirees, so it may not be the most exciting choice for young singles. However, others say now is the time to buy in this neighborhood, which is only becoming more populous and desirable.
