The City Park neighborhoods (West, North & South) are located northeast of Downtown Denver, adjacent to City Park. The neighborhoods surround a 370-acre oasis of green and culture known as City Park. Denver’s City Park is a mecca of gardens, pools, fountains, monuments, soccer fields and playgrounds.

Its grounds host a mecca of events and attractions including the Denver Zoo, the City Park Pavilion, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and the City Park Golf Course. Stand anywhere in City Park and enjoy amazing views of Downtown and the mountains and enjoy free jazz in the park on Sundays in the summertime. In addition to numerous art fairs and festivals, the park hosts a number of organized runs, run walks and charity events. The park was called the Crown Jewel of the Queen city when it was originally designed and built in the late 1800s.

The surrounding neighborhoods are about 5-10 minutes from Downtown Denver, via 18^th Avenue. They have easy access to the restaurants and retail in Uptown, along 17^th & 18^th Avenues and Colfax Avenues.

These neighborhoods are predominantly single-family homes with a traditional lay-out and overall architecture consisting of Denver Squares, Victorian and Bungalow homes built in the early 20th century. The large mansion homes facing the park have been transformed into law offices and historic homes while the rest of the neighborhood is still in transition.
