Overview

Living in Denver

Denver is a city of neighborhoods, and the right one depends on how you want to live. Cherry Creek and the neighborhoods around it put you near shopping, dining and parks. Washington Park and Platt Park are close to lakes, gardens and South Pearl Street. The Highlands and Jefferson Park are minutes from downtown with views of the skyline, and southeast Denver neighborhoods like Virginia Vale and Hampden offer mid-century homes with room for a yard.

Jaime lives and works in Cherry Creek, and he has represented buyers and sellers across the city, from a century-old home in the Country Club neighborhood to renovated brick ranches in southeast Denver.

Questions

Denver, answered

Which Denver neighborhoods should relocating buyers look at?

It depends on commute, budget and the kind of house you want. Cherry Creek and the nearby neighborhoods offer walkability and established homes, Washington Park and Platt Park have character homes near parks, the Highlands put you closest to downtown, and southeast Denver offers more yard for the money. A short strategy call is the fastest way to narrow it down.

Do Denver neighborhoods have their own school districts?

No. All of the City and County of Denver is served by Denver Public Schools, which uses a school-choice enrollment process alongside neighborhood boundaries. Confirm assignments for any specific address with DPS.
