Best Places To Live in Denver

5280 Magazine profiles the most compelling residential areas to live. This year they are:

East Washington Park - I've lived in this neighborhood for five years and sold many home in and around this area, such as Platt Park. This neighborhood of course features the huge Washington Park, Bonnie Brae ice cream, and Gaylord Street festival.

South City Park - I helped some clients buy and awesome tri-plex Denver Square. Its a favorite area of mine because of the transformation of Colfax Avenue. The Tattered Cover on Colfax Ave, and the City Park Jazz in the summer are a draw for people.

Hilltop - Shown a bunch of houses there but never actually had someone buy one. It's one of Denver's most expensive areas with an average sales price of $761,000.

Five Points / Curtis Park - This area is still a little transitional and can have a very urban feel. Look into this area if you have a long term outlook for Denver's urban population density increasing. It probably will.

Lower Highlands - I've helped several families in The Highlands and the Lower Highlands (Lohi) is so exciting because its a neighborhood that you can walk over the highway on a foot bridge to get to Downtown Denver. Some of Denver's best restaurants are in Lohi.

Alamo Placita - Just north of Washington Park. Its a nice alternative to Wash Park and a little cheaper.

East Cheesman Park - This neighborhood features some big older homes. This is a good area if you like to go the the botanic gardens for the summer concert series.

Arapahoe Acres - The mid century modern enthusiasts will love this neighborhood. Its got the Frank Lloyd Wright inspired homes. They are in a historic district now. There are other areas like this around town such as Krisana Park and Lynwood. However, this one is the most consistent and more centrally located.
