One of Denver’s hidden gems, with luxurious homes situated on quiet streets.
Park Hill is one of Denver’s hidden gems, with luxurious homes situated on quiet streets shaded beneath a canopy of century-old American Elm trees. This thoroughly walkable neighborhood lies beside the expansive green space of City Park, providing residents with easy access to some of Denver’s premier attractions, including Denver Zoo and the Museum of Nature & Science.
Some of Denver’s most attractive streets are situated within the Park Hill neighborhood, including the impressions 17th Avenue Parkway. Well-known landscape architect Fredrick Law Olmsted designed the parkway based on the principles of classic French design and there is a distinctly Parisian flair to its perfectly proportioned setbacks and luscious green median.
The elegance and sophistication of Park Hill have made it one of Denver’s most desirable areas for over a century. Early commentators even declared this beautifully designed district on par with such famously luxurious neighborhoods as London’s Mayfair, Paris’ Passy and Auteil, and New York’s Riverside Drive.
