Hilltop

Grandeur meets historic charm in this urban oasis.

Welcome to Hilltop

Grandeur meets historic charm in this urban oasis.

 

Situated just east of Cherry Creek, Hilltop is one of Denver’s most scenic and exclusive residential neighborhoods. It’s an urban oasis tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city center and boasts Front Range views, spacious lots, impeccable lawns and tree-lined streets. The neighborhood was one of the first in Denver to be planned based on the car instead of the streetcar, accounting for its flat, wide streets.
 
Despite the community’s popularity and growth throughout the years, Hilltop residents are careful to preserve its rich history and charm. Homes here range from classic ranches and Tudors to sprawling neo-eclectic and contemporary-style mansions. Stone and stucco estates, colonials, and prairie-influenced homes also add to this town’s stunning streetscape. Houses tend to be set back from the sidewalks, giving way to private, spacious yards.
 

What to Love

  • Spectacular mountain views
  • A mix of laid-back luxury and urban vibrancy

Things to Do

An abundance of green space, ball fields, and hike and bike trails await anyone seeking year-round fun. Cranmer Park, once the highest point in Denver, is famous for its large, open meadow, mountain views, and six-foot sundial. The Patrick Marold sculpture “Bows” is situated in the park along the path to Second Avenue. 
 
Robinson Park was once a brickyard before Robinson Brick donated the land to the city in 1941. Today, it’s popular for its sledding hill. Crestmoor Park features a sprawling green space that includes softball and soccer fields and tennis courts. D.C. Burns Park encompasses 13 acres of open space and sculptures. The park was created to preserve the mountain views of surrounding properties and add open space to the city.
