The character of City Park West

City Park West places residents between the park, downtown, and some of Denver's most important cultural and medical institutions. Historic houses and multifamily buildings share energetic streets near 17th Avenue's restaurants and Colfax's entertainment.

The housing varies block by block, so parking, building condition, noise exposure, and access to parks and employment centers should all enter the comparison.

The neighborhood's housing, walkability, and local gathering places create a distinct way of living within Denver. Buyers should experience it at different times of day and compare individual blocks before deciding where the best fit lies.
