The Denver Metro Guide
Find your Denver neighborhood.
Every Denver neighborhood has its own character. Below is a guide to the areas I know best, starting with my NW Denver home turf, out through the western suburbs and foothills, then into the rest of the city.
Specialty Area
Northwest Denver — my home turf.
I live in Berkeley and work this part of the city more than any other. If you're looking at NW Denver, you'll get the most out of working with me.
Berkeley
Tennyson Street's walkable heart of NW Denver — bungalows, breweries, and a tight-knit local feel.
Explore Berkeley→
West Highland
Victorian blocks around Highland Square, with the walkable dining that made the Highlands famous.
Explore West Highland→
LoHi (Lower Highlands)
Skyline views, rooftop restaurants, and walk-everywhere energy, one bridge away from downtown.
Explore LoHi (Lower Highlands)→
Sloan's Lake
Lakefront living with mountain views, neighborhood restaurants, and a steady wave of new construction around Denver's largest lake.
Explore Sloan's Lake→
Sunnyside
A lower-density pocket of Northwest Denver with classic bungalows, thoughtful new construction, and quick access to LoHi, Berkeley, and downtown.
Explore Sunnyside→
Regis
Tree-lined streets near Regis University and Willis Case Golf Course, with quick access to Tennyson Street and I-70 to the mountains.
Explore Regis→
Jefferson Park
The city energy of LoHi at a slower pace — skyline views, a filling-in 25th Ave corridor, and Broncos games on foot.
Explore Jefferson Park→
Chaffee Park
NW Denver's last attainable pocket — postwar brick ranches minutes from Tennyson Street, at prices the rest of the northside left behind.
Explore Chaffee Park→
Edgewater
A 0.7-square-mile city with a tight-knit feel, the Edgewater Public Market, and Sloan's Lake at its doorstep.
Explore Edgewater→
Wheat Ridge
Big lots, mid-century ranches, and a rural feel — still minutes from everything Denver has to offer.
Explore Wheat Ridge→Denver Suburbs
Close-in suburbs — more space, still close.
Arvada, Lakewood, Applewood, and the established suburbs west of the city — more home for the money and an easy drive back in.
Arvada
From historic Olde Town to new master-planned communities — Arvada balances small-town and suburb.
Explore Arvada→
Lakewood
Colorado's fifth-largest city — diverse neighborhoods from Belmar to Green Mountain to Bear Creek.
Explore Lakewood→

A mid-century neighborhood with civic identity: large lots, mountain proximity, and a Golden mailing address that surprises buyers.
Explore Applewood→
Littleton
Historic Main Street downtown, well-regarded schools, and easy light rail to downtown Denver.
Explore Littleton→
Englewood
Not a Denver neighborhood but its own city, and if you know the history, that distinction matters deeply to the people who live here.
Explore Englewood→
Westminster
A split-county city with more outdoor infrastructure than most buyers expect and a rail line that reaches Union Station in eleven minutes.
Explore Westminster→
Broomfield
Equidistant from Denver and Boulder, with a civic story all its own. The kind of suburb that earns a second look.
Explore Broomfield→Denver Suburbs
Foothills & mountain living.
Golden, Morrison, Evergreen, and the communities in the hills — mountain living within reach of downtown.

Gateway to Red Rocks — a historic small town at the foothills with quick mountain access and a tight-knit community feel.
Explore Morrison→
Evergreen
Mountain living 30–40 minutes from downtown Denver — Evergreen Lake, log cabins, and modern mountain homes.
Explore Evergreen→
Lookout Mountain
Mountain living, not a suburban approximation of it. If you want a home that earns its views, Lookout Mountain delivers.
Explore Lookout Mountain→
Genesee
Genuine mountain living on I-70 — elk in the yard, private trails out the door, and downtown Denver 25 minutes away.
Explore Genesee→
Conifer
Mountain homes on acreage at 8,200 feet — where my wife and I bought our first home, and where the forest is out every window.
Explore Conifer→
Ken Caryl
A master-planned foothills community where 50 miles of private trails begin at the back gate, and buyers who arrive tend to stay.
Explore Ken Caryl→Denver Proper
Central Denver's classic neighborhoods.

Montclair
Few Denver neighborhoods have a founding story as strange or as deliberate as Montclair's.

East-central Denver at its most honest: established brick bungalows, a nationally significant hospital, and a walkable district at 9+CO.
Explore Hale→
Congress Park
Brick Tudors, Denver Squares, and a walkable park-and-12th-Ave lifestyle near Cherry Creek.
Explore Congress Park→
Capitol Hill
Denver's most walkable neighborhood — vintage condos and Millionaire's Row mansions where the city is your amenity.
Explore Capitol Hill→
Cheesman Park
Eighty acres of park at the center of everything — mansion blocks, vintage walk-ups, and towers with front-row mountain views.
Explore Cheesman Park→
Speer
The neighborhood Denver's grid bends around — Cherry Creek Trail access, Alamo Placita's gardens, and prices between its famous neighbors.
Explore Speer→
Country Club
Roughly 380 homes, a century of pedigree, and the 4th Avenue gateways — Denver's old-money address, quieter than its reputation.
Explore Country Club→
Platt Park
Old South Pearl Street's farmers market, the Harvard Gulch pool, and an enviable walk-to-everything feel.
Explore Platt Park→
Overland
Denver's quietest value play — bungalows by the river trail, one crossing of Broadway from Platt Park prices you'd rather not pay.
Explore Overland→
Belcaro
Where Denver's older wealth settled in quietly: wide lots, mature trees, and a landmark mansion at the center of it all.
Explore Belcaro→
Bonnie Brae
Curving streets around the ellipse — a designed 1920s village beside Wash Park, with an ice cream line since 1986.
Explore Bonnie Brae→

Bigger lots, a school pipeline serious buyers chase, and quick access to everything around it, without the Washington Park premium.

A century of Craftsman bungalows, a transit line to downtown, and the birthplace of the world's most famous burrito.
Explore University→
City Park
Denver's cultural mile — adjacent to the zoo, natural history museum, and a park with sweeping Front Range views.
Explore City Park→
Skyland
A nationally significant golf course as the neighborhood's green heart, and quiet, owner-occupied streets where bikes outnumber nightlife.

Lowry
Lowry is what happens when a city gets a second chance at a piece of land and actually uses it well.

Denver's most intact Victorian neighborhood: century-old craftsmanship, South Broadway counterculture, and light rail to downtown.

Where architecture enthusiasts quietly find some of the most significant mid-century modern homes in the country.

Deep roots, trail access, light rail, and a front-row seat to stadium energy, at price points that still make sense.
