Wellshire

• Neighborhood in Denver, CO
• 2 reviews

Current Resident: The best of all worlds. Close to the city. Cool houses that people are fixing up constantly. Decent-sized yards (for a major city, certainly). One of the highest rated elementary/middle schools in Colorado. A lot of families and young kids everywhere, and a very tightknit community (mainly due to the school being the center of gravity for the neighborhood)

Washington Park

• Neighborhood in Denver, CO
• 5 reviews

Former Resident: Having lived in Washington Park for most of my life, this is an excellent neighborhood. The park itself is a great place to walk, run, bike, and play frisbee in the grassy areas. The small Gaylord Street boutique and restaurant area is a fun place to spend a Friday evening or Sunday brunch. Pearl Street, in W.P. West, offers classier restaurants and shopping. A fire department and police station are within the neighborhood. The closest high school is South.

North Park Hill

• Neighborhood in Denver, CO
• 8 reviews

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
• 17 reviews

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 reviews

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
• 23 reviews

Current Resident: The location and architectural charm of this neighborhood is superb! I've lived in Cap Hill for over a year now and was able to get rid of my car as soon as I moved here. A twenty minute walk or less gets you to downtown Denver, multiple grocery stores, Cheesman Park, City Park, or multiple other local businesses. The infrastructure is great. I have easy access to multiple bus routes to take me anywhere in the city. I feel so fortunate to live here. I would love to see more diversity, but that's about it.

City Park West

• Neighborhood in Denver, CO
• 3 reviews

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.

There are so many fun, upbeat places to eat, drink and spend time with friends and family. There is a great balance between night life and quiet family feel. I would like to see improvements in the road quality and walk ways.
