Wellshire

• Neighborhood in Denver, CO

Niche User: I moved from Las Vegas, NV just about two years ago. I truly have fallen in love with Colorado and all of its enchanting beauties. There is a ton to do, not only the downtown and bar scene, but ESPECIALLY the great outdoors. I couldn't think of a better place to live. The reason I gave the feedback that I did, is because all you hear about our police force recently in the news. I love that we are implementing the police body cams on top of more street cameras. I think it is important that we all feel safe.

Downtown

• Neighborhood in Denver, CO

Niche User: I would love to move back to Denver and live there again. Due to the legalization of marijuana; the housing market has skyrocketed. Rent is almost impossible for someone not making a substantial wage to afford. I love the city and i am happy I grew up there but there is a lot of change happening. The gentrification is bad, the poor are being pushed out and the rich are taking over. its becoming San Francisco. I would love for that to stop so Denver could remain the amazing city that is always has been.

Washington Park

• Neighborhood in Denver, CO
• 4

Current Resident: Wash Park is an amazing place to live. The park is beautiful and easily accessible. There are lots of great restaurants and shopping nearby, making it feel very quaint. It is a little bit south of Denver, meaning you get away from the crazy hustle and bustle of downtown, but are still super close and get to enjoy all downtown has to offer (about a 15-20 min drive with traffic, but less than 10 minutes without). Cherry Creek is right down the street, as well as DU and the lightrail. I feel very safe living here, which is also a bonus. There are loads of beautiful, old trees lining the streets and throughout the neighborhood, also making it a very appealing place to live. You get a great balance of nature and city.

North Park Hill

• Neighborhood in Denver, CO
• 9

Current Resident: I've lived in Park Hill in the same house my whole life, and as I've grown up Park Hill has become a much safer and friendlier place. The gangs are down tremendously, and many people who live there are families. The Hiawatha Davis Rec Center is one of the first places I did swim team at, I met a lot of different types of people who I grew close to. The houses right next to mine are smaller and have had many people pass through them because when they move in it starts as a couple and grows into a family who needs more space. The market area has nice shops and restaurants as well as a family friendly playground.

Platt Park

• Neighborhood in Denver, CO
• 16

Current Resident: Platt Park is an active and close-knit community surrounded by small businesses, great conveniences, and parks. Platt Park provides something for everyone from bars and boutiques to restaurants and coffee shops where you can enjoy a hot cup of coffee and your favorite book. Houses of new and old surround the small business haven, making everything just a quick walk away. Walk less than a mile east and you will find yourself at Denver's Washington Park, the perfect place to enjoy life with a run, multiple sports, the quiet pond to sit around or paddle boat, and enough nature to make it a short-term escape. For the time you need a little nightlife the Tavern, Pub on Pearl, and the Lincoln Roadhouse all have you covered but if you're looking to head into the heart of the city make your way just 2 blocks over to the Lousiana- Pearl Station and hop on the 15 minute light rail ride to put you within walking distance of Market Street.

Congress Park

• Neighborhood in Denver, CO
• 31

Current Resident: Love the walkability, restaurants and shops! Everyone is always ready to help their neighbors. Street parking sucks if you live near the part where there are more apartments than houses. Everyone has dogs and is very active. There are numerous parks within half a mile from the area. Housing is petty expensive right now but the value has always been there and will most likely never go down.

Capitol Hill

• Neighborhood in Denver, CO
• 18

Current Resident: Capitol Hill is the perfect neighborhood for young, active professionals, dog lovers, creatives, foodies, and cafe seekers. Although close to the epicenter of Denver's business hubs and nightlife, Cap Hill is the perfect refuge from the craziness of the city-- completely walkable/bike-able, full of parks (Cheesman!), and tons of bars, restaurants and cafes. Capitol Hill is also home to Denver's colorful music scene, with vintage theaters such as the Bluebird, Paramount, and the Ogden. If you love cozy vintage homes in a artsy and eclectic neighborhood, then Capitol Hill is a great option for you!

Cherry Creek

Current Resident: I love the close access to grocery stores and target. However, as a young adult, there is not a lot to offer in terms of night life or social gatherings. However, it is a very safe and generally quiet neighborhood!

City Park West

• Neighborhood in Denver, CO

Visitor: When I was going to the University of the Rockies in Denver, Colorado I visited this area. It was beautiful and entertaining, the downtown was safe and clean while the people were friendly and helpful. The business district was bustling and a large variety of restaurants to chose from. The abundance of green space with areas of flowers and trees. Many of the people were very polite and interested in where you were from and eager to show some good place to eat and stay. I found that when i was confused or a little lost the people were right there to help me. The parks and museums were easy to locate and getting a taxi was no problem any hour of the day or night. This city is very nice and hospitable, I would recommend it to anyone visiting Denver. Anyone that would like more information just contact me.
