Platt Park and University Neighborhoods
PLATT PARK
Platt Park is one of Denver’s most coveted neighborhoods due to the number of walkable restaurants and shopping with close proximity to Washington Park. In recent years, the neighborhood has shown increasing popularity and growth, thanks to the wide variety of homes and prices, which makes it an ideal alternative to Wash Park.
Original 1920’s bungalows and newer townhomes adorn the streets of the neighborhood adding to the charm of the area. Pearl Street, a 7 block long commercial area offers some of the best restaurants in town.
Platt Park anchors the neighborhood offering a great meeting spot. Located just minutes from the light rail, making access to everything Denver has to offer even easier. Or, if you want to stay around the area, the University Park neighborhood is adjacent which offers a fun eclectic restaurant and bar scene along Evans Avenue and University Boulevard.
Platt Park is minutes from Washington Park and Gaylord Street, with easy access to Cherry Creek by way of University Boulevard. Accessing downtown Denver is easy via the light rail and by car, averaging around 10-15 minutes of drive time. South Broadway’s antique row is a part of the Platt Park neighborhood, which is perfect for finding design inspiration.
UNIVERSITY (DU NEIGHBORHOOD)
University (sometimes refered to as the DU neighborhood) is a neighborhood in Denver, Colorado. It is home to the University of Denver, many university students, and other residents and businesses, including the first Chipotle Mexican Grill.
The area’s homes run the gamut: everything from new, contemporary townhomes and duplexes, to old apartment buildings and condos, to classic frame-and-siding and brick bungalows.
The neighborhood’s high home costs are reflective of much of the growth in the city — the closer the home is to Denver’s urban core, the higher the home price. But, the neighborhood’s offerings also tell the tale of what makes it an attractive place to live.
The DU neighborhood is full of classic beauty — old trees, timeless architecture, pretty gardens — and things like dive bars and college-priced places to eat.
