Distinguished Neighborhoods
There are many neighborhoods in Denver that boast a strong reputation. Most are known for their architectural elements, elegance, sometimes gated and secured entry and they often hold higher rental rates than most local neighborhoods.
Hilltop
Hilltop is an older yet upscale neighborhood located in between prosperous Cherry Creek and modern Lowry. The area has become very popular for larger, newly built houses and expansive remodeled homes. And, of course, we should mention the views afforded by its slightly higher elevation. Good schools and a tight-knit community round out the desirable qualities of Hilltop.
Average Rental Rates:
Single family homes $3,000 - $10,000
Condos $2,500-$3,000
Cherry Creek
Cherry Creek is one of Denver’s premier neighborhoods and has a mix of high-end housing, from condos, apartments and townhomes to larger new builds. Cherry Creek is bustling with retail and dining and is a destination for people living all across Denver. For those who live here, hot restaurants, galleries, bars and boutiques are steps away, yet most of the residential streets remain quiet and peaceful. The central location just a few miles from downtown is another perk to Cherry Creek living.
Average Rental Rates:
Single Family Homes $4500 - $10,000
Townhomes $3800 - $5500
Condos $2200 to $5500
Bonnie Brae
Sitting to the east of Wash Park, Bonnie Brae is another highly desirable neighborhood. The winding streets are lined with mature trees, and homes are beautifully maintained. Most of the original 1940s and 50s homes have either been updated or scraped to make room for multi-million dollar luxury homes. As one of the smaller neighborhoods in Denver, boasting only about 700 homes, Bonnie Brae has exclusive feel with urban access.

Belcaro/Stokes
One of the secret jewel neighborhoods in central Denver is Belcaro and Stokes. Belcaro is notable for its lovely, winding streets and peaceful atmosphere. Homes are primarily ranches situated on large lots, although some of these are being replaced by modern new builds. The neighborhood is close to Cherry Creek and is a reasonable commuting distance to both Downtown and the Tech Center.

Denver Country Club
The Denver Country Club neighborhood is home to some of the largest estates and most luxurious homes in Denver.

This exclusive neighborhood is ideal for those seeking seclusion and splendor without sacrificing access to the all the city has to offer.

Polo Club
Large estates and multi-million dollar luxury homes dot the exclusive Polo Club Community a few miles southeast of Denver. The estates here boast expansive lots and stunning homes, most of which were built in the 1980s and 90s but have been impeccably updated throughout the years. This exclusive community is bounded by busy thoroughfares but has a secluded feel.
