Neighborhood rooted in mid-century suburban growth

Located about 12 miles north of downtown Denver, the neighborhood is characterized by tree-lined streets and spacious sidewalks in front of ranch and split-level homes. “It’s very much a classic suburb, with all the classic characteristics,” says Sam Cardenas, real estate agent with Re/Max Northwest and longtime resident of Northglenn. “You get good space at a way better price than you would for the same thing in Denver, and so it’s popular with all sorts of people.” With convenient access to major highways, Hillcrest appeals to commuters and those seeking a quiet way of life away from Denver's congestion.
