Neighborhood Profile: Park Hill

Colorado Boulevard to Quebec Street, from Colfax Avenue north to 52nd Avenue

 

This neighborhood has a mixture of classic Denver architectural styles, including, but not limited to Denver Squares and Craftsman bungalows.   Although Park Hill was established in the 1880s, most of the homes were built in the early 20th century.  Majestic trees line the streets.

 

While Park Hill is principally a residential neighborhood, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, City Park and the Denver Zoo are nearby.  The City Park Golf Course, an 18-hole city golf course, is nearby and offers beautiful views of downtown Denver and the Rocky Mountains.

 

Park Hill’s nationally recognized neighborhood organization sponsors an annual tour of the many historic homes in this charming community.  This year, the tour will be held on Sunday, September 28th from 11 am to 5 pm.  Seven homes will be open.  Visit the street fair on Forest Parkway for some music, food and shopping.
