Baker

We are experienced in helping buyers find real estate, lofts and homes in the Baker area in Denver and can provide you with information about selecting the BEST real estate consultant in Denver.

If you like The Baker area, you will also like the Platt Park and Byers

The Baker neighborhood is located just to the south of the city and is minutes away from the amenities of the Golden Triangle and shops on Broadway. The unique little historic neighborhood has seen its ups and downs over the last few years, but recently it has seen major change and a steady increase in property values. New residential projects and the rehabilitation of Broadway are reviving this eclectic neighborhood into a neighborhood for young up and comers and first time home buyers. While most of the neighborhood to the west bordering Santa Fe and the Platte River is still industrial, the abundant style of home is the 19th century Victorian.

Broadway, the major street bordering the Baker neighborhood to the East, continues to have a wide variety of local color in its vintage clothing stores, antique shops and sex shops. However, in past five years, places like Mecca, which sells upscale furniture and The Hornet, a trendy nightspot have made South Broadway a destination for more locals.

Boundaries: Broadway Street on the east, Sixth Avenue on the north, the Platte River on the west and Mississippi Avenue on the south.

Ballpark

The Ballpark neighborhood is an eclectic part of Denver. It lies to the north of Lower Downtown and Downtown Denver's central business district.

The Ballpark neighborhood stretches almost 20 blocks to the north from 20th Street, into a section of Downtown that is still very much a functioning warehouse and light industry district. The Ballpark neighborhood is anchored by Coors Field, which is where the Colorado Rockies baseball team has been playing since 1995, hence the name "Ballpark". Real estate in the Ballpark neighborhood has been increasing since 2000, which include warehouses being converted into lofts and several new construction loft projects. Several loft projects are currently underway which will add an additional 400 new residential units to the neighborhood.

This part of Downtown was established early in Denver's history, growing alongside the railroad tracks that carried goods and raw materials into Denver's industrial market. Waves of immigrants--Italian, Irish, Japanese, Chinese and, more recently, Mexican--have left their own unique stamp on the area.

An important commercial corridor in the Ballpark neighborhood is North Larimer Street. From 20th Street all the way to the northern edge of stretches of Downtown (37th-38th Avenue), Larimer Street offers a unique mix of buildings and tenants--pawn shops, jazz clubs, bars, antique shops, art framers, galleries, brewpubs, authentic Mexican restaurants, small ad companies and more.

Most of these buildings reflect the area's predominant architecture, which is 2-3 story brick buildings and warehouses. The neighborhood is zoned for industrial use, so a good number of the buildings still have train and truck loading docks on their street frontages, as many of them are active warehouses and light industrial buildings. Not every building frontage has a sidewalk, and street trees are not as prevalent as they are in older, more traditional center city neighborhoods such as Curtis Park or Capitol Hill. In 2002, the Ballpark Historic District was formed for much of the Ballpark area to preserve many of the historic warehouses and buildings that define the neighborhood's historical uses.

A major change in the Ballpark neighborhood's landscape was the demolition of the Broadway viaduct in 2000, which carried auto traffic from Broadway, over the adjacent Central Platte Valley train tracks, and north along Brighton Boulevard to I-70 for several decades. The viaduct's bridge structure sliced through the middle of the neighborhood, but is now replaced by a four-lane underpass; two sets of train tracks cross overhead, much like the 15th Street underpass that was completed earlier this decade. This enhances the Ballpark's pedestrian environment and improves its visual and pedestrian connection to Downtown Denver.

It has also spurred new opportunities along Brighton Boulevard, which is a direct link from I-70 to Downtown Denver. The Ballpark neighborhood is host of the Ballpark Market, an eclectic community flea market that happens several weekends each summer.
It also hosts the Larimer Street Market, an open-air market where up to 140 merchants offer countless items: farm-fresh produce, fresh flowers, baked goods, ready-to-eat food and refreshing drinks, jewelry, arts, crafts, one-of-a-kind-finds, antiques, live music, entertainment, and special events. The AT&T LoDo Music Festival also moved into the Ballpark neighborhood in 2000 after several years in the Lower Downtown area.

General boundaries: 18th Street, Broadway, Blake Street, Central Platte Valley rail yards. Note: The Ballpark neighborhood is also often incorporated as within the boundaries of the greater Curtis Park neighborhood.

The neighborhood of Berkeley is quickly changing as more and more boutiques and restaurants move to the shops on Tennyson Street. The Denver Post has most recently said “ 'With roughly a dozen new boutiques and eateries, new condo buildings, talk of a new pub and a wine bar moving in soon, Tennyson Street between West 38th and 44th avenues is poised to become Denver's next trendy shopping nook.” And that it is! With delightful restaurants like Parisi Italian market & deli to Taco Jalisco you'll be sure to find a dish that suits your taste! The street also boasts yoga and Pilates studios, a used bookstore, a specialty shop for runners, an organic health food store and an experimental performance theater and avant-garde cinema.

The neighborhood's dynamic has most recently changed due to the redevelopment of what used to be the home of Elitch's amusement Park on 38 th and Tennyson. The site is now home to a mix of new construction single family homes, townhomes and lofts which has helped gentrify the neighborhood. Because of the resurgence of businesses on Tennyson, a more younger, upper-middle class is moving to the neighborhood.

Capitol Hill

We are experienced in helping buyers find real estate in Capitol Hill in Denver and can provide you with information about selecting the BEST Real Estate Consultant in Denver

If you like the Capital Hill neighborhood, you will also like the Uptown, and the City Park.

Capitol Hill is one of the most historic and diverse neighborhoods in Denver. Its longstanding popularity has made it the center city's most densely populated neighborhood, due in large part to its proximity to outstanding transportation infrastructure, parks, unique retail and entertainment opportunities. The Capitol Hill neighborhood also offers perhaps the city's widest range in housing types and price ranges--everything from modern high rise apartments to single-family homes, apartments in historic mansions to lofts in renovated commercial buildings.

Capitol Hill was founded in the 1880s as a new residential suburb for Denver's wealthiest families, who built extravagant Victorian, Tudor and Greek revival mansions. Among the most prominent residents was legendary Titanic survivor, Molly Brown, whose house still stands on Pennsylvania Street and is a popular museum. The Colorado State Capitol building--dedicated in 1890--stands on the neighborhood's far west side at Colfax Avenue and Lincoln Street.
Today, many of those mansions still stand, but the neighborhood has evolved into a mixed-use community with a majority of apartments and condominiums. After serious population declines in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, Capitol Hill has enjoyed population increases during the past five years, and some estimates call for 3,000 more new residents in the next 3 years.

After serious population declines in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, Capitol Hill has enjoyed population increases during the past five years, and some estimates call for 3,000 more new residents in the next 3 years.

On its north edge, the resurgent Colfax Avenue is continuing its remarkable recovery after years of neglect and high crime rates. As crime rates on Colfax and throughout the Capitol Hill neighborhood have dropped dramatically in recent years, new retail, entertainment venues, office users and even condominium developments have followed. In recent years, dilapidated apartment buildings have been rehabilitated throughout Capitol Hill; commercial buildings (such as Penn Garage Lofts at 14th and Pennsylvania Street) have been transformed into mixed-use housing projects; and vacant lots have given rise to new construction housing developments. There have been 22 development projects on Colfax Avenue alone in the last three years, adding up to $34 million in investment that includes three residential projects.

Capitol Hill also features several small commercial and retail districts that are pedestrian friendly. One of the city's most compact and pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods, Capitol Hill residents walk to coffee shops, hardware stores, grocery stores, restaurants and other gathering places at 9th and Corona Street, 11th and Ogden Street, and along the 14th Avenue corridor. Capitol Hill's landmark park is Cheesman Park, and Downtown's Civic Center Park is also close by.

Capitol Hill also is home to some of Denver's best cultural and entertainment venues. In addition to the Molly Brown House, the Vance Kirkland Museum (13th and Pearl Street) celebrates Denver's internationally renowned abstract painter. On Colfax Avenue and Clarkson Street, Mammoth Gardens has been refurbished into the Fillmore Auditorium, and a few blocks away is the Ogden Theater. Both are popular small venues for music.

Older homes are being scraped and replaced by larger, more expensive homes, townhomes and condominiums. Prices start around $400,000 for a townhome or a scraper home and about $840,000 for a single family detached home.

This neighborhood is rapidly changing due to its abundance of double lots, and was recently termed the “Denver capital of pop-tops”. The Cory-Merrill neighborhood lies just to the South of the highly desirable Bonnie Brae.

Curtis Park

We are experienced in helping buyers find real estate, lofts and homes in the Curtis Park area in Denver and can provide you with information about selecting the BEST Real Estate Consultant in Denver.

If you like Curtis Park you will also like Five Points, Whittier, Capital Hill and Uptown.

Curtis Park was developed in the 1860s and 1870s as a fashionable residential suburb north of Downtown Denver. Today, Curtis Park remains one of the center city's most accessible neighborhoods for Downtown workers, characterized by its tree-lined streets, its broad range of housing types, and its social, economic and ethnic diversity.

Curtis Park's housing mix is wide ranging: single story duplexes stand next door to recently renovated grand Victorian mansions; flat-roofed rowhouses next to classic, two-story Denver Square brick houses; Queen Anne-style houses with second floor porches are also numerous. There are three designated historic districts in the Curtis Park neighborhood: Clements, San Rafael and Glenarm Place.

Since its founding, Curtis Park has always been a mixed-income neighborhood. Interspersed among the neighborhood's turn of the century mansions are smaller houses built by waves of immigrants who came to Denver to join the workforce during the city's early years. Throughout the neighborhood's history, many of Curtis Park's residents have worked in Downtown Denver, which is only a 15-minute walk or a quick ride on RTD's light rail--or, in past decades, on streetcars--from Downtown's businesses and office buildings.

A current effort that is changing the landscape of Curtis Park is the rebuilding of the neighborhood's housing projects through a $26 million federal HOPE VI grant. Four blocks of two-story apartment buildings that were built for public housing in the 1950s were demolished in 2000. The area is being rebuilt to accommodate market-rate apartments and condominiums alongside affordable and low-income units, creating a more economically diverse community. Construction of the new housing is underway, remarkably transforming the neighborhood.

Five Points

We are experience in helping buyers find real estate, lofts and homes in the Five Points area in Denver and can provide you with information about selecting the BEST Real Estate Consultant in Denver. If you like Five Points, you will also like Curtis Park, Whittier, Capital Hill and Uptown.

While the name "Five Points" is often applied to the greater neighborhood to the northeast of Downtown, Five Points is more widely known as the busy retail, restaurant and services corridor on Welton Street. Since Five Points' founding in the 1860s as one of Denver's first residential suburbs, this area around Welton Street has evolved into a vibrant mixed-use district that today offers a direct link to Downtown Denver via RTD's light rail line.

The Five Points area got its name early this century from the city's tramway company, who used the nickname because their street car signs were not big enough to list all of the street names at this end-of-the-line stop. RTD's light rail line connects Five Points with Downtown via Welton Street, which bustles with 75 businesses, including restaurants, cafes, boutique shops, barber shops, salons and other retailers. A bank, radio station, bottled water distributor and a busy Denver motor vehicle licensing office also have Welton Street addresses.

Five Points features many cultural amenities, including the Black American West Museum, Five Points Media Center, Roundtree Art Center and the Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble studios. Five Points' Juneteenth celebration--an annual parade and festival commemorating the day in 1865 when African-Americans in Texas first heard word of the Emancipation Proclamation--is one of the biggest such festivals in America, attracting upwards of 120,000 people over four days each year. The Five Points neighborhood is dominated by victorian architecture and old world charm. Minutes from downtown the Five Point is as convienent as it is historic.

General Boundaries: Broadway, Downing Street, 23rd Avenue, 38th Street. Note: The boundaries between the Curtis Park, Five Points and Ballpark - Neighborhoods overlap. Census tract authorities apply the name "Five Points" to all three areas, while other authorities call the entire area "Curits Park." This profile treats Five Points, Curtis Park and Ballpark as distinct neighborhoods.

Golden Triangle

We are experienced in helping buyers find real estate, lofts and homes in the Golden Triangle area in Denver and can provide you with information about selecting the BEST Real Estate Consultant in Denver.

If you like The Golden Triangle area, you will also like the LODO, Downtown, Riverfont Park and Ballpark.

The Golden Triangle is in many ways a resurrected neighborhood. It gets its name from the bordering streets that make this neighborhood the shape of a triangle. The neighborhood's current growth has been driven by several new construction developments. With more than 500 housing units added during this decade, mostly in new construction, including condominiums and lofts, new residents are attracted by the neighborhood's central location and proximity to Downtown. It is somewhat of a mixed-use neighborhood; home to restaurants, two child care centers, a dance club and seven art galleries. Several former garages and industrial buildings have been renovated for use by law firms, architects, interior designers and other small office users.

The area was platted and developed early in Denver's history with single family houses, Victorians and small brick bungalows, most of which are no longer standing. After World War II, the neighborhood was seen as an emerging business support area for Downtown, and many car repair garages, car dealerships, printers and supply stores moved in; surface parking lots also proliferated during this time. An early 1980s plan to build a convention center at 13th & Broadway was scuttled when the current location at 14th & California Street in Downtown's central business district was selected.

The Golden Triangle's north side hosts some of Denver's most prominent cultural attractions in the Civic Center Cultural Complex: Denver Art Museum (now beginning a $62.5 million expansion by Berlin-based architect Daniel Libeskind, who was recently selected as architect of the rebuilding of of New York City's World Trade Center), the Michael Graves-designed Central Denver Public Library , Colorado History Museum , Denver Mint, Byers-Evans House and Civic Center Park. Acoma Street, the primary corridor through the Golden Triangle to the Civic Center Cultural Complex, recently received significant streetscape upgrades; it will serve as the promenade and outdoor gathering place for the expanded art museum.

Golden Triangle residents have quick access to the Cherry Creek bike path and Civic Center Park, and the 16th Street Mall in the heart of Downtown Denver is only a 12-15 minute walk away.

Highlands

We are experienced in helping buyers find real estate in Highland in Denver. For more information about selecting the BEST Real Estate Consultant in Denver.

If you like the Highlands area, you will also like the Sloans Lake, Berkeley, Regis and Chaffee Park.

Highland is an up and coming neighborhood overlooking the city on the eastern high grounds of Denver, hence the name. Located just east of I-25 and the South Platte River, Highland is a diverse community with an abundance of wide-ranging homes.

From newly constructed lofts to Queen Anne Victorians to post-WW II era single-family detached houses, one can find an array of homes to meet any persons taste. In recent years, much of this transitional neighborhood has become gentrified, driving up home prices in what was once an affordable area. Some bargains remain. Two infill developments, East Bay (east of Sloan Lake Park) and Highlands Garden Village at the sight of the former Elitch Gardens Amusement Park, offer opportunities for new home ownership in established neighborhoods.
The community has been home to many waves of American immigrants--Italian, Irish, German and Mexican-who established the neighborhood's still-thriving churches, businesses, restaurants and cultural events. In the middle of it all is the thriving 32nd and Lowell commercial district.

In the last few years, this town center has added much flare and panache to the Highland neighborhood by the addition of new restaurants such as Bang, Stella's, Mead Street Station and the Coral Room. Stroll along this small 3-block town center and find stores for the hip and the small, the caffeine addicts and the hungry. The Central Platte Valley, the South Platte River and I-25 create a series of buffers between Downtown and Highland, giving residents in Highland the advantage of quick accessibility to Downtown via 15th Street, while the neighborhood remains very much distinct from Downtown's core.
Here are some other highlights of the Highland neighborhood:
Potter's Row: A historic district of renovated Victorian houses on Bryant Street between 32nd and 34th Streets.
West 28th Avenue Historic District: Tucked into a corner of the neighborhood overlooking the Central Platte Valley, this block-long historic district features beautiful turn-of-the-century flagstone houses and sidewalks. Also known as "Stoneman's Row."
Churches: Highland's early immigrant communities built striking churches that still stand today--Asbury, Mt. Carmel, Our Lady of Guadalupe, St. Patrick's and others. (Asbury, a sandstone building constructed as a Methodist church, has been empty for some time and is a possible housing development. Its tower can be seen clearly from the 16th Street Mall in Downtown's core.)

Boundaries: The boundaries are 8th Avenue to the North and Alameda to the South, Holly to the West and Monaco to the East

In its center is Cranmer Park, known for its seven and a half foot sundial and the mega mansions bordering it on the west. The other park, Robinson park is well known for its sledding hill.

He promoted the neighborhood as "a fount of health and prosperity, and as a model community with enlightened planning and sophisticated architecture.” He began construction one on of the United States most interesting castles, The Richthofen Castle. The construction was completed in 1887 and was designed after the original Richthofen Castle in Germany with over 35 rooms, a mote, a mistress house, hand tooled leather walls and a massive oak staircase.

Because the neighborhood was sort of promoted as a “health resort”, the homes were designed and constructed specifically with unenclosed side porches and open floor plans which was thought to be therapeutic for those suffering from the 19th Century's most deadliest deseases Tuberculosis or TB. Montclair features a vairent style of it's own unique bungalow.

The Observatory Park and University Park neighborhoods are essentially one in the same. Bordered by I-25 to the North and Yale to the South in between University and Colorado Blvd., these neighborhoods were platted in 1886 after the University of Denver began to flourish. Small houses were built on large lots and the first house was constructed at 2525 Evans. Today most of the small houses in this neighborhood have been scraped and large new construction homes have taken its place. Although many small homes do still exist, the price to buy the land starts at a whopping $375,000!

Observatory park itself is located at Evans & S. Fillmore. At the center of the park is the Chamberlin Observatory, the reason the park got its name. Chamberlin Observatory was one of many buildings designed by famous Denver architect, Robert Roeschlaub. The dome houses a 20 inch aperture Clark-Saegmuller refractor, which saw first light in July 1894, and is still "functional” today.

The University of Denver was recently voted America's 100 Best Graduate Schools for 2006 by U.S. News & World Report. Ranking at 85, DU enrolls about 10,400 students in its undergraduate, graduate and professional programs and is considered a Doctoral/Research University-Extensive. In recent years the university has invested $450 million in its campus building 13 new academic, residential and adaministrative buildings.

Largely residential in nature, with neighborhood shopping areas peppered throughout, Park Hill features tree-lined streets and parkways and in 1886, was advertised as "the finest square mile of real estate west of the Mississippi."

Early residents displaced prairie dogs, rattlesnakes and ranches with brick Victorian and Denver Square homes. A second building boom in the 1920s and '30s saw the construction of brick bungalows and Tudors, while a third wave just after World War II created brick housing for returning GIs and first-time homeowners.

Industrial properties, hotels and commercial uses dominate areas north of East 38th Avenue. A signature golf course attracts duffers from around the city.

The diverse mix of housing stock remains, serving a stable and culturally and ethnically rich neighborhood. Residents take obvious pride in their homes and are passionate participants in neighborhood planning.

Platt Park is almost an extension of Washington Park. It lies just south of Washington Park on the other side of I-25 and to the west of the DU area. In the last few years, Platt Park has become well known for its pleasant shopping atmosphere & fine restaurants on Old South Pearl Street including Sushi Den, Pearl Street Grill and Lola. The neighborhood is rich with sprawling mature tress, bungalows & Victorians and pop tops. In recent years we have seen some scraper homes being replaced with new construction homes & duplexes.

History - The Platt Park neighborhood takes its name from the 4.4 acre park in the center of the community. The park was named in honor of James H. Platt, founder of the Platt Paper Company and another early South Denver leader. The neighborhood itself was named in the late 1860s as “Platte Park,” with an “e.” It is unclear whether the neighborhood was supposed to be named after Colonel Platt, like the park was, and the neighborhood name was misspelled, or whether the name for the neighborhood actually came from the South Platte River (spelled with an “e”). The current practice is to follow the spelling used for the park, Platt Park.

Gates Redevelopment – Gates Rubber Company at I-15 & Broadway was one of Denver's premier manufacturing companies. Bought in 1911 by Charles Gates, Sr., as the original leather and tire company, it was also one of the major employers in Denver at the time. Gates has since then relocated downtown and have sold 50 acres on the west side of Broadway to the land to Cherokee Denver Company and the remaining 30 acres on the east side of Broadway to Lionstone Urban Investments One LP . This site will now be redeveloped into a mixed-use neighborhood of single and multifamily residences, and a variety of office structures. They are currently in the process of rezoning this former Gates campus.
Antique Row - A major grouping of antique shops, sometimes called “Antique Row,” in the 1300-1600 blocks of South Broadway is known throughout the region. Many of the stores are cooperatives and approximately 400 dealers share space in a few dozen buildings along South Broadway. Many of the antique store owners have renovated their shops and the area is more attractive as a result. Some business owners are unable or unwilling to invest in renovation of their structures, so renovated shops are mixed in with some unattractive stores, used car lots, parking lots and other mixed uses.

The neighborhood received its name from Denver's polo playing elite back in 1909. Polo was originally played here 3 times a week until homes started to pop up; 2755 Exposition being the first. Gradually the interest to play there ceased and most of the property was sold.

Today it is home to many business owners in Denver such as co-founders of Qwest, Owner of the Teatro Hotel, and Owner of Etkin Johnson Commercial Real Estate. Centrally located just off University and minutes from the Cherry Creek shopping district, this small community is perfect for top socialites looking for a great location with some privacy.

A new Denver neighborhood is forming along the banks of the South Platte River. A neighborhood becoming known as Central Platte Valley, also called Commons Park, is prime territory for real estate development including newly built condominiums, lofts, boutiques, restaurants and cafes. At this time it is a 120-acre expanse to the west of downtown Denver that is home to about 1,600 residential units with another 820 under construction. The Central Platte Valley area is on track to evolve into an exciting, mixed-use urban neighborhood with more than 3 million square feet of offices, shops, restaurants and hotels.

An exciting real estate development in the Central Platte Valley has been the addition of 90 acres of parks along the South Platte River which include Gates-Crescent, Centennial, Fishback, Confluence, Cuernavaca and Commons Parks. These parks are the anchors for the Central Platte Valley's residential community--"The Commons" neighborhood--that will be built over the next 20-30 years. Commons Park, the 30-acre centerpiece of this park system, was completed and dedicated in 2001.

In addition to these entertainment, recreation and cultural amenities, the Central Platte Valley's biggest advantage is its proximity to Downtown Denver.

At its core is the city of Denver's new Commons Park, The Pepsi Center, SixFlags/Elitch Gardens, Colorado's Ocean Journey, the REI Superstore, the exciting new Skate Park and the Children's Museum.

Population type: Downtown residents wanting to move up, those wishing to live closer to city attractions and mountain residents seeking second homes in the city. Shuttle service on the 16th Street Mall--Downtown Denver's primary retail, transportation and pedestrian corridor--was extended through LoDo and behind Union Station in 2001.

The extension brings closer access to the Millennium Bridge, a pedestrian bridge over the consolidated train track that remains in the Central Platte Valley. Central Platte Valley residents have a 10-minute walk into Lower Downtown and Downtown's central business district.

“Sloan Lake Park is a unique and special place in Denver: a ribbon of green surrounding a great sheet of water that opens the park to the sky, with the office towers of Downtown Denver rising on the east and the snow-capped Rocky Mountains spread across the western horizon. The park is a haven for both people and wildlife – an inner city retreat where one can enjoy the expansive views, water, openness and natural beauty of the place.” - Denver Parks & Recreation

The Sloan Lake neighborhood is just to the south of the Highlands neighborhood, comprising of two lakes, Sloans Lake and Coopers Lake. These lakes sit on over 177 acres of land and have sweeping views of the Rocky Mountains. They are the focal point of the neighborhood and are heavily used by owners of homes that border the park on three sides. It is only park with a body of water large enough for waterskiing . The neighborhood is primarily residential with an array of stunning architecture, including Victorians, tudors and bungalows all built around the 1930's.

In recent years, the small town center at 32nd and Lowell called Highlands Square has flourished, and locals from all over come to enjoy the restaurants, boutiques, & taverns. Don't miss out on the delicious sushi and Sushi Hai or contemporary American food at Bang! The mature trees and manicured lawns of Teikyo Loretto Heights University sits on Sloan Lake's east border and provide locals with an excellent educational resource.

Stapleton

It started with a desire: to reclaim and recycle urban land, creating a new standard of living within Denver’s city limits.

It started with a community’s idea for their City’s future. Building on the tradition of Denver’s great neighborhoods, Stapleton refines the balance between home and workplace, marketplace and green space, private life and public involvement.

Drawing inspiration from Denver’s historic neighborhoods where tree-lined streets, numerous parks, traditional architecture and front porches enhance the walkable character of the community, Stapleton is a delightful blend of traditional neighborhood design and 21st century technology.

At Stapleton, most of the diverse and distinctive collections of homes and apartments are less than a ten minute walk from shops, schools, offices and parks. A wide range of housing choices are available, from more than 19 builders with homes priced from the low $100s to over $1 million, to accommodate everyone from singles to seniors and first time buyers to empty nesters
Over the next 15 years, Stapleton’s planned 12,000 homes and apartments will create new and exciting living opportunities for more than 30,000 residents.

Nearly 30% of Stapleton is reserved for parks and open space

Parks and open space define many of Denver's great neighborhoods. Washington Park, Cheesman Park, Congress Park, City Park and many others are grand public spaces that are part of Denver's legacy. Stapleton will build on that tradition devoting nearly 30% of its 4,700 acres to parks and open space, increasing the size of the Denver Park system by more than 25%.

The centerpiece of Stapleton's 1,116-acre regional park system will be the 80-acre "Central Park", nearly the size of Denver's Washington Park. Bikeways and paths, similar to those found along Denver's Cherry Creek will grace Stapleton's Sand Creek and Westerly Creek Greenways. On Stapleton's northern border, the community's extensive bike and trail system will link into the 17,000-acre Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge.

Portions of Stapleton's open space system already exist. The 123-acre Bluff Lake Nature Center and the 23-acre Urban Farm at Stapleton regularly host urban school children yearning for knowledge about nature and the country life. The 30-acre Fred Thomas Park always finds local residents picnicking or playing soccer. The Bladium Sports Club, formerly one of the Stapleton Airport hangers, offers two in-line skating rinks as well as extensive exercise opportunities

Stapleton's 80-acre Central Park is the centerpiece of the community's park system. Located immediately east of the Stapleton Control Tower, the park is open and one of the best spots in the city to watch the sun set. Design elements in the Central Park include an urban forest and prairie mounds, the highest of which will reach thirty feet and provide an ideal sledding hill.

Central Park's gathering place will include a stage, cafe, and children's play area and can accommodate over 1,000 people for concerts and lectures. Numerous open grass areas will be ideal for soccer matches, frisbee, volley ball, bocci ball, croquet, badminton, football, and anything else you can imagine.

The auditorium is the center piece of Stapleton’s Central Park. The park has been situated so that the entire Front Range is laid out before park goers, making a spectacular environment to recreate in. A large embankment surrounds the stage that is ideal for mountain gazing and relaxing as the sun sets. There is a café which will serve refreshments for concerts and lectures. There is an interactive fountain ideal for cooling off in the summer.

Looking west toward the mountains from the middle of the park you can see Downtown Denver straight down the path. As you get closer to the auditorium Downtown becomes more visible and gives a perspective to the location of the Stapleton Neighborhood. Stapleton is 10 minutes from Downtown Denver.

The Stapleton Control Tower still stands as homage to the community’s roots. Plans for the tower include a restaurant or museum.

Looking east over the giant fields of grass you see The University of Colorado at Denver and The Health Sciences Center, Anschutz Medical Campus, which is the former Fitzsimmons Army Medical Center. The medical complex is 5 minutes from Stapleton.

The trail system within the Stapleton Community ties into The Sand Creek Trail which, in turn, ties into the Highline Canal.

Uptown lies to the immediate east of Downtown Denver, and offers an eclectic mix of elements: restaurants, retail, historic mansions, new construction loft and condominium projects, hospital campuses, small office buildings, entertainment venues and neighborhood gathering places. It is quickly becoming one of the most popular neighborhoods in the city, due in large part to its ease of accessibility to Downtown's core.

The architectural styles and housing options in Uptown cross the spectrum from Denver Squares, Victorians, apartment complexes, bungalows, Queen Anne-style houses with second-story porches and much more. A majority of the neighborhood is single-family detached houses, with tree-lined boulevards that separate sidewalks from the street.

A longtime anchor in the Uptown neighborhood has been a complex of hospitals in the neighborhood's core.

St. Joseph's, The Children's Hospital, Presbyterian/St. Luke's, and Kaiser Permanente are major presences and employers in the neighborhood, and many hospital supply, doctor's offices and related businesses are located in nearby buildings. The hospitals employ nearly 10,000 workers. (The Children's Hospital announced plans to move to the Fitzsimons area in Aurora in the next five years, along with the University of Colorado's Health Sciences Center.)

Uptown's southern boundary is Colfax Avenue, Denver's traditional retail and services corridor that is undergoing a remarkable recovery. New retail, housing and office development is changing Colfax's landscape, and the refurbished Fillmore Auditorium and Ogden Theater draw music fans for live performances. The numerous restaurants on 17th Street have resulted in a "Restaurant Row" destination attraction.

After all that rigorous activity, residents line up for homemade ice cream from Bonnie Brae Ice Cream Shop. Memorial Day finds the South Gaylord Street shopping and dining district hopping with street fair festivities, while South Pearl Street offers its own distinct brand of comestibles and consumer goods year 'round.

The neighborhood is easily accessed off Interstate 25 which makes this hot community centrally located to downtown and prestigious Cherry Creek. A lot of change is happening in the neighborhood with lots of scrapes and pop-tops popping up on every block. This new phenomenon is doubling and sometimes tripling a home's square footage making it a great family neighborhood now in comparison to only singles and married couples. Children now comprise nearly a third of Washington Park's population, while seniors are scarce.

As singles marry, moving out of the neighborhood is not an option. Thus, the phenomenon of pop-tops, which literally lift a roof line to double and sometimes triple a home's square footage. Many fit architecturally, while others make one wince.

Over three quarters of the homes are owner-occupied. Children comprise nearly a third of Washington Park's population, while seniors are scarce.

Whittier is a historic Denver neighborhood northeast of Downtown, adjacent to Five Points and west of City Park. The neighborhood is predominantly single-family homes on tree-lined streets, most of them built in the early 20th century as Denver's population continued to expand eastward from Downtown and Denver's first "suburban" neighborhoods of Capitol Hill and Curtis Park.

Early residents of this neighborhood first registered in 1868 included University of Denver founder Alfred Case and early Denver attorney Jacob Downing, who's also credited with promoting Denver's park system. Carpenters, bricklayers and metal workers also settled in Whittier, building Victorian, traditional Denver Square and Queen Anne-style homes.

Whittier Elementary School (2480 Downing Street) opened in the 1880s. It was named after John Greenleaf Whittier, American poet and abolitionist. The neighborhood also has a new community center at 29th & Downing, across from the light rail station.

The most prominent connections from Whittier to Downtown Denver are 23rd Avenue (southern boundary), Martin Luther King Blvd (northern boundary). Convenient access is available to retail, restaurants and services in Five Points and Uptown. City Park--one of Denver's biggest parks--and City Park Golf Course lie just east of Whittier. The Denver Zoo is located in City Park.

One of the most prominent landmarks in Whittier is St. Ignatius Loyola Church on the corner of 23rd & York Street in the neighborhood's southeast corner. The Gothic red brick church was completed in 1924 with twin bell towers. Demographically, the church followed the trends of the Whittier neighborhood in which it is located. It was a prominent middle class congregation with more than 1100 parishoner families in 1940. St. Ignatius Loyola has played an important role in bringing about racial integration in Denver and the neighborhood west of City Park, especially after World War II when the African American population began moving into the area just west of Loyola Church. In 1996, Loyola church was placed on both the National and Colorado State Registers of Historic Places.
