Capitol Hill

• Neighborhood in Denver, CO
• 21 reviews

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!

Five Points

• Neighborhood in Denver, CO
• 19 reviews

Current Resident: I'm a native so my opinion might be a little bias. It is a busy neighborhood just about five city blocks away from downtown Denver. The neighborhood is very active, bikes and scooters easy to rent from all around the city. People love dogs, there are many dog parks, including off leash for fur babies to roam freely. Construction is everywhere, the gentrification of the city is in full boom and getting around feels less like Colorado and more like California traffic.

I live off Park Ave West which is a road that will take you from I25 downtown to Downing street where the neighborhood changes to Cole. It is a busy street and sometimes the commute is easy, and other times it's at a standstill.

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.

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.

Jefferson Park

• Neighborhood in Denver, CO

Current Resident: I like living in Jefferson Park a lot. It's close to downtown, but is considerably quiet. The people in the neighborhood are friendly and meeting people is easy. The park itself is usually nearly empty, clean, and quite beautiful.

Whittier

• Neighborhood in Denver, CO
• 2 reviews

Niche User: My parents have lived in my neighborhood for 27 years and I have lived there for entire life. I love my neighborhood because I always feel safe and welcomed wherever I go. We live close to one of the biggest parks and high schools in Denver, Colorado, where I have met many of my best friends. The diversity in my neighborhood has been very inspirational to me while I was growing up and as it increases it will continue to inspire the younger kids as they grow up. With the strong sense of community and support I would not want to live anywhere else.

There is rarely any traffic, and the public schools, especially DCIS are excellent! The neighborhood diversity has given me a chance to learn spanish and communicate with my lovely neighbors. I love walking my dog in this neighborhood because I feel safe.

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.

West Highland

• Neighborhood in Denver, CO
• 3 reviews

Current Resident: The neighborhood has made many drastic improvements over the last 4 years, since I moved in. 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.

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.

Rosedale

• Neighborhood in Denver, CO
• 4 reviews

Niche User: This area is very nice, removed from busy city activity. There are lots of restaurants and local shopping availability. The parks and recreational centers are awesome. Many small schools and communities work together to create a better environment. My one dislike about this area is that it is more difficult to access highways and public transportation like the light rail. Driving is almost necessary, and it's not ideal. I see the area growing with more families moving in, local restaurants and shops opening.
