Park Hill Neighborhood
Park Hill Neighborhood
Greater Park Hill—a terrific neighborhood developed primarily in the early 1900s—into three sections: North, South, and Northeast.
Park Hill, located on high ground east of City Park, remains one of the most coveted neighborhoods in Denver. Shaded by stately American Elms, Park Hill’s exquisite thoroughfares: 17th Avenue, Forest, and Montview parkways, are among the most beautiful in the city.
Early on, commentators raved that the thoroughfares of Park Hill — “the most desirable residence portion of the city” — rivaled Riverside Drive in New York, the Auteil and Passy in Paris, and Mayfair in London. Several of Denver’s most beautiful churches are also found here.
Park Hill’s homeowners enjoy short strolls to some of Denver’s finest cultural attractions and shopping. On the west is lake-graced City Park, home to the highly regarded Museum of Nature and Science, Gates Planetarium, IMAX Theatre, Denver Zoo, and Municipal Golf Course.
In summer, the park bandstand hosts the free City Park Jazz concert series.
Like most of Denver’s urban neighborhoods, Park Hill has a historic shopping district popular with residents. A cluster of quaint shops on 23rd Avenue includes Spinelli’s Italian Market for gourmet meats and cheeses, fresh baked breads, scrumptious desserts, and more. The popular Italian Trattoria Cherry Tomato, Park Hill Cooperative Bookstore, and Park Hill Cleaners & Tailors. Cherry Creek Mall Shopping District and Colorado Boulevard’s retail stores and restaurants are both 10 minutes’ drive.
South Park Hill primarily offers single-family homes built in the 1900s to 1950s. It features a mix of classic Denver squares, bungalows, and Tudors.
The Denver Square, known as a foursquare home in other parts of the United States, was popular from the mid-1890s to the late 1930s. The two-story brick homes remain popular because they are easy to update and remodel.
There are a few scrapes and new builds but few duplexes in the neighborhood.
