Denver is the heart of the front range metropolitan area.  A city on the fast track, this gorgeous setting has become the focal point for commerce, technology, culture, and industry.  It is easy to fall in love with the mile high city and Colorado.  A pioneering spirit, genuinely friendly people, and opportunity abound. Since 1970, metro Denver has grown by almost half, to a combined metro population of well over 2.35 million people.  That equates to a growth rate of 4% per year.

View of Denver

Denver real estate in the Park Hill area is located in the northeastern quadrant of Denver. It is bordered by Colorado Boulevard on the west, East Colfax Avenue on the south, Quebec Street on the east, and East 52nd Avenue on the north.

The City and County of Denver further divide it into three administrative neighborhoods, South Park Hill, North Park Hill, and Northeast Park Hill.

Wash Park

Denver is home to many beautiful parks and neighborhoods, but none can quite compare with Washington Park.

The 165-acre park was designed and opened in the early 1900’s. It boasts 54 flowerbeds, 2 lakes, a 2.6 mile jogging path, a fishing pond and a lake house. The two playgrounds are an oasis for area children and families picnicking. In-line skating, soccer games, dog walking and jogging are some of the popular activities seen within the park.

Bonnie Brae Ice Cream

Bonnie Brae, or “Pleasant Hill” in Gaelic, is bordered by University Boulevard on the west, Steele Street on the east, Exposition Avenue on the north and E. Mississippi Avenue on the south. Planned in 1923 by a prominent Denver planner, it was meant to feel like a Scottish village. While the oldest homes in the area were built in the early 1920’s, the majority of the residences were constructed in the 1940’s and 50’s, allowing for a large variety of architectural styles, including Tudor, traditional and mid-century modern. Mature landscape, well-manicured lawns and curvaceous streets make Bonnie Brae one of Denver’s most beautiful neighborhoods.

First established in the 1880’s, Platt Park is a neighborhood steeped in charm.

Platt Park Home

Originally incorporated as the Town of South Denver, the town was formed to restrict the creation of the saloons and roadhouses that had become a threat to decent living in the downtown areas. The 100-block area surrounds a 4.4-acre park named for James Platt, an early Denver leader. The park is home to the Fleming estate, which was annexed to the City of Denver in 1894. The beautiful stone mansion has housed many community entities, including a library and a jail. Built in 1913, the Decker branch of the Denver Public Library system is another community asset that is located within the park, as well as the Senior Community Center.
