Most of the area’s historic Victorian-style homes and traditional bungalows were built in the early 1900s, and today the Wash Park neighborhood with tree-lined streets is one of Denver’s most desirable places to live.

City Park

Designed in 1882 by Henry Merryweather, the 330-acre City Park makes up the majority of the neighborhood and contains some of Denver’s most notable landmarks, including the Denver Zoo, the Museum of Nature and Science, Ferril Lake, and the Prismatic Fountain, dating back to 1908.

Belcaro

Nestled between Cherry Creek and Wash Park is this fashionable, upscale neighborhood with massive historic mansions. The neighborhood gets its name from what most know as the Phipps Mansion. Lawrence C. Phipps (1862-1958) was responsible for developing most of the area, and he lovingly called his home “Belcaro,” meaning “beautiful beloved” in Italian.

East 7th Avenue

Denver’s largest Historic District runs from Logan Street to Colorado Boulevard and spans just two blocks wide, from East 6th to East 8th Avenues. This central Denver neighborhood contains homes mostly built from the 1890s through 1930 in a variety of architectural styles, including Colonial Revival, Neoclassical, and Mediterranean Revival.

The Country Club Historic District was designated as a Landmark District in 1990, though the neighborhood was officially established in 1909. Most of its homes date back to the early 20th century. This unique L-shaped community west of Cherry Creek includes nearly 400 residences in a variety of architectural styles, such as Denver Square and 20th century eclectic revival styles.

The term “Highlands” actually encompasses many Mile High communities, including several historic districts. William Larimer, Jr. plotted and founded the townsite in 1858, and it has since grown into one of the most elegantly charming areas of Denver. Overlooking downtown Denver, Highland is a bustling residential neighborhood featuring avenues lined with elegant old homes, cocktail bars and trendsetting restaurants.
