Denver homes located in the area of 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.
The Bonnie Brae section of University Boulevard is still home to some of the city’s most revered businesses. Bonnie Brae Ice Cream still makes it’s own ice cream and is a favorite summer stop for many Denver residents. The Bonnie Brae tavern is a family-owned restaurant that has been in operation since 1934.
Today, Bonnie Brae is an example of successful evolution. While the charm of the older homes stays true, newer construction is seamlessly being introduced.
