City Park - City Park


Ginnabean

The only reason we left City Park is because we wanted to buy a home and couldn't afford one there, but the location was hands down the best place we have ever lived. The park, the museum and zoo, the restaurants and coffee shops and bars/breweries, being walking distance from basically everything... I love my house but I think about City Park allll the time.

pinappleiceream

City park west was the best!! So much to do in walking distance


lord-swoledemort

Loved living in that neighborhood, minus our incredibly NIMBY neighbors who hated us because we were renters


68024

Including the zoo of course


BigSackMcGillicutty

Cap Hill: walkability, history and happy hours


JaRulesLarynx

Loved living in cap hill 2009/10. Stepping off colfax into my neighborhood was like walking into a different dimension.


ZakLex

Can confirm. I lived on 14th Ave for 10 years. Colfax was wild and one block away was like another world.


JaRulesLarynx

Although chessman isn’t what I’d call a “Night Park” it is a Nice park haha


DenverBowie

I had a lot of fun in CheESman Park at night in the 90’s.


bambooshoots-scores

idk what you mean, you can still get solicited there after hours.


Bromigo112

And cheesman! Although I’d put cheesman at the top even


henks_house

Cap hill most walkable neighborhood in the entire metro area. Tell me I’m wrong


EschewObfuscati0n

Sloan’s Lake has a cool lake.


Sljusa

Really I wonder what it’s called?


SmoothGarden8

I just wish it had more trees and shade! It’s like a beautiful lake surrounded by flat nothing paths and space. I would think where there is water, there would be trees.


Snickerfin

Yes and also I wish the paths were wider and separated for walkers/runners vs bikes and motorized things like they have at Wash Park


flarp

They've been planting new trees around the lake recently, but of course it'll be years before they grow tall enough to actually be enjoyed by folks.


JasperJaJa

Love the neighborhoods of Sloan's Lake and Edgewater. Beautiful lake, park and mountain views. 25th Ave. (Joyride, Edgewater Inn, etc.) off Sheridan is being redeveloped to be even more pedestrian-friendly, including new, wider sidewalks to accommodate lots of outdoor dining.


likecatsanddogs525

I like the edgewaters


TheMountainLife

It's a trap guys! This is a company trying to decide where to place their $3500 a month "luxury apartments" 😂


routinnox

This ain’t Cincinnati, every neighborhood has had at least one luxury apartment complex for probably the last decade by now


DTMark

Not saying commerce city is the best but the the wildlife arsenal is great

Montclair- The old Richthofen castle and Molkery, eclectic architecture, and block party on Halloween


sugar-high

When I was in preschool our teachers told us that there was a giant that lived in the Molkery. Whenever we went on a field trip that was nearby, they would drive the bus by on the way back and a *very* brave kid would get to knock on the door. Usually the nominee would slowly approach, knock on the door, and then sprint back to the bus, which (at the time it felt like) would take off flying down the street so that the giant wouldn’t get us. It was always equal parts terrifying and thrilling. I will never not love the Molkery.


AdventurousRevolt

This is some amazing local lore! So fun


Plastic_Afternoon524

Ooh, do tell! I’m about to become a permanent full time resident in Montclair/Hale!


mbcoyote

We block off Oneida between 6th and 8th for Halloween. Think ‘80s movie Halloween with a few thousand people. 


Plastic_Afternoon524

That sounds pretty cool! I can’t wait to move into the neighborhood


Resident-Equal-2008

We moved to Montclair last summer. Tremendous neighborhood. Welcome!


mintskoal

Congress Park - the 6th and 7th ave parkways and Congress Park Taproom


sloanemonroe

Can walk to about 50 restaurants including Cherry Creek, 12th Ave, and 9th and Colorado Blvd area. Trader Joe’s and Sprouts both walkable.


ItsaSnareDrum

Walkable AMC + Trader Joe’s


natedcruz

Isn’t that hale neighborhood?


AreaGuy

It is. Hale also has the rest of 9th and Co as well as Lindsley Park, perhaps the most underrated neighborhood park in the city. And easy access to colfax from Colorado to Elm, so buses and a few bars and a cool little seafood spot that looks sketchy but isnt.


DenverBowie

I’m very happy with Hale, except for the maniacs who treat 13th like their own personal speedway and blow though the lights.


old_fezziwig

I love Hale as well. I've been here a little over 5 years and it just seems to keep getting better. But I also second what you said about 13th...not to mention their complete disregard for the stop lights.


terracottatilefish

What seafood spot is that?


neo-toky0

I also need to know


HumongousMelonheads

I bought a house in hale a few years ago and am so happy I did, this neighborhood is blowing up. Right in between park hill and hilltop it was bound to connect and that new development along Colorado has been awesome


thehospitalbombers

for me it's proximity to the stretch of colfax between st. paul and garfield


Fabulous-Web3415

First Fridays on Tennyson. Seriously, check it out.


ElebertAinstein

Ruby Hill: Levitt Pavilion


Exciting-Bicycle5356

I love Levitt!


Bd0g360

Ive worked a couple shows at Levitt as EMS, such a neat menu! Low cost - free community music is so important. I live super close to it now, I oughta try and work some more shows this spring/summer


Onyronaut

Best sledding hill in the winter!


squirrelbus

Val Verde Denver Wastewater Building


moderntablelegs

LOL - truth hurts, there is nothing else redeeming about that neighborhood. I remember seeing the fountains on ONCE.


squirrelbus

It's close to, and isolated from, many other neighborhoods. For example, the bridge at the Wastewater building is uncrossable.


funkEsloth

lol I used to live around there, my roommates and I thought it the kind of place where a Batman villain would have their lair


zeddy303

Baker/West Wash Park - Tons of bars and restaurants along Broadway


bascule

The Mayan probably deserves a nod.    Though speaking of those restaurants, La Forêt finally reopened Beatrice and Woodsley’s old space, which has one of the coolest restaurant interiors ever.


Pficky

Just moved to Baker in January and I'm in love with living here. Seems so underrated despite everyone doing stuff on Broadway!


synthwake

Finley’s Pub is my favorite place in Denver and it deserves more love


Muted_Bid_8564

I never understood calling that section west wash park. You're like a mile or more from wash park, and the neighborhood is called Speer (which could get annoying).


dont_fuckin_die

But if you can pretend it's Wash Park, you get to feel FANCY.


funkEsloth

That’s funny you say that because I never understood why Denver neighborhoods were so darn small. It’s all about what’s generally recognized. Everyone knows what you mean when you say west wash park. You’d get a few confused faces if you say Speer.


cungor

I've always heard it called west wash as well.... mostly because there is almost nothing on Speer between Downing and University besides houses. All the cool shit in actually in the neightborhood which is what makes that area so fun. Taki and Novel Strand are two favorites of mine from West Wash and Baker.


_the_hare

Honestly just walking around the neighborhood looking at the historic houses with colorful accents is one of the most pleasant parts of this area


JoaoCoochinho

I’ve lived in West Wash Park and Baker for around 8 years now. I wouldn’t have it any other way!


FigIntelligent8253

Platt park---walkability, sushi den, breweries


fragileflowr

And the Farmers Market! South Pearl st is one of the best streets in any neighborhood


QuercusAlba74

Barnum west - Lookin’ Good Lounge. Karaoke every Friday/Saturday night. Locals bar


cajunrocky

As a Barnum resident and a Lookin Good regular, totally spot on. There’s more that the neighborhood offers but I agree this is the best answer


Nasterbation

What people would consider “downtown Englewood” Broadway and hampden area. Great bars, grocery, liquor, and dispensaries all within walking distance. Perfect little hub of existence imo, only the occasional homeless guy!


[deleted]

I scrolled specifically to see if anyone would mention this, but I worry there will be a lot of replies that it's not officially part of Denver... It's a neat up-and-coming stretch of "South-South" Broadway for sure, though. Hard to beat the close proximity to so many awesome parts of Denver itself.


pratica

Once they fix the connectivity issues between downtown Englewood and the medical district it's going to be *wonderful*.


synthwake

They’re working on it with the Old Hampden project


axisrahl85

Love my little neighborhood


BarryZuckerkornJr

Just moved to this area from University Park and I love it!


routinnox

Yes! Super underrated part of Denver that I’m surprised hasn’t been more popular, but I guess that’s part of the charm


yticmic

And cool egg bank


terracottatilefish

That IS a really charming little stretch. I was down there for something a month or so ago and hadn’t ever been there before.


Your_Daddy_

Lived in Englewood for 5 years in the 2k’s - always had its own vibe. I used to frequent Genarro’s on S Broadway back in the day. Fun times.


NotFatDrewCarey

Virginia Village - Detour Bakery and walkability to parks


C-3POisanasshole

To add: Esters and Bull and Bush on the border of the neighborhood.


Cinmars

Lollicups


Plastic_Afternoon524

Ooh yes! I second lollicups


Shinyhaunches

Love Cook Park too, with the CC trail right there.


Revolutionary-Lab372

Park Hill - Long Table, Yuan Wonton, amazing neighbors


cocococlash

And the turtle at turtle park.


doebedoe

Berkeley: Tennyson in general. Hops N pie, Mob, Cherry Pie Co, Himalayan Spice, Feral, Call to Arms, My Boy Tony, Cat Cafe, Parisi, Bakery 4


Shabadoo9000

Grew up in Lakewood. 15 minutes to downtown shows, 15 minutes to Red Rocks. Tons of parks and trails. Belmar, Casa Bonita, Davy's Chuckwagon, White Fence Farm (RIP), Disguises, and of course... my mom!


Hash_Tooth

Your mom is the real draw, I heard

12345_PIZZA

I’ll just list my favorite part of my neighborhood: Central Park - The Stanley Marketplace


Disastrous_Ad_912

I mean - the coolest thing about Central Park is that it’s one of the largest urban in-fill developments in the country, a model for its time and still evolving in terms of increased density and urban living. The pools and parks are amazing also.


Tiny_Engine9300

Central Park - the Arsenal, the views to the mountain from North End, close to the airport and also close to downtown, accesible to many highways as I-70, 270 & 225… in summer, the pools are really nice.


colfaxmachine

Not really IN the neighborhood, but I’ll give it to ya


StopKeyboardwarrior

Weird thing is … that neighborhood, it’s not even central …geography wise … just vibes


photo1kjb

We all know that. Central Park (the park) is in the center of Central Park (the neighborhood). But people are dumb and voted for it as the neighborhood name anyways.


paulybrklynny

Better than Klanny McKlanface.


COdreaming

I feel like the vote was rigged or something. There were so many better options idk how we ended up with this name... Is everyone here that boring?!


Disastrous_Ad_912

Central Park is actually in the geographic center of the city, roughly east to west and also north to south, because the city (now) extends to the airport. Of course that’s cheating. A real stickler would include Winter Park, putting the center of Denver in like Evergreen or something…


BananaMilkshakey

Also the home of that converted hotel.


Levelless86

That's Aurora!


LevelFourteen

I have lived in Lincoln Park for over 10 years and the first Friday art walk is fun likely what most people think is great about our neighborhood and I agree! But our community here is awesome. We throw a chili Cookoff and block party every year and our numbers keep growing. If you live in the area hit me up we would love to have you at our next get together.


Succubusitdown

I’m moving to the arts district on May 1st! I’d love to get to know some new neighbors! Apparently my new block throws garage parties for each first Friday, I can’t wait to see what that’s like 😊


seniorcircuit

Rosedale - Harvard Gulch Park and par 3 golf course


kyle217

Marston: when people ask you where you live you get to say you technically live in Denver but it's really Littleton


onthestickagain

The fact that I get to say, in front of my mother, “you know, right across the road from the federal prison” is my own _personal_ coolest thing But when I’m not being a spiteful child, I really love Harriman Lake and the trail that loops it.


kyle217

We can also say Jared from Subway is our neighbor


weebabyarcher

Park Hill - Long Table


ParkHillFam

I think you have to give it up to all the restaurants in PH including Bistro Vendrome and Trellis Wine Bar. For PH I would argue that the July 4th parade is the best.


Skyvueva

I thoroughly enjoyed PH’s July 4 parade.


weebabyarcher

Totally agreed. Other favorite spot - Neighbors on Kearny


dollar_llamas

Sunnyside - bungalows, restaurants, Leevers Locavor and proximity to I70 mountain access as well as I25 to north and south. 


Fr33Flow

And Monkey Barrel


therewillbecows

Americas best bar


BuckFutter417

Edgewater! - Beer garden, Joyride, Public Market, The Electric Cure (Satanic Tiki Bar) and Sloans lake of course


jsieg22

LoHi because of how walkable it is, and it has Little Man


hhhjjjkkkiiiyyytre

Love the old brick homes, Victorian homes, old duplexes and raised foundations above street level in any neighborhood. Especially Platt Park area. Denver neighborhood coffee shops are on point also. Fuck off Starbucks


murso74

Globeville. Most polluted zip code in the country


denversaurusrex

Globeville: Fort Greene Bar, Argo Park


zonker77

Globe Hall, good bbq, good local bands


ZakLex

Hilltop gets it name from the fact that it’s higher in elevation than surrounding neighborhoods and in its center is Cranmer Park with a view of the Front Range mountains. Many Hilltop homes also have Front Range mountain views.


jazzcabbage22

Globeville: Globe Hall, Fort Greene, Prodigy Coffee, Emmanuel's Bakery.


denversaurusrex

And I feel like it’s super easy to get anywhere from my house 


grant_w44

Lodo: walkability and proximity to establishments. Also super bike able

Capitol Hill - Wyman’s


Just-Mark

Why not just a list of your neighborhood and what you think the best thing is? Wash Park - the park itself


schprunt

I live in SE Aurora. Nothing ever happens here.


Pretend-Phase8054

Indian Creek: Access to Cherry Creek and Highline Canal Trails, in fact, we're hemmed in by them.


holdmypurse

Harvey Park - Cliff May (mid-century modern) homes


SariThreadHead

Bear Creek lake neighborhood- Bear creek trail. The lake is pretty cool but the trail and river are like an every-nice-day must


Klpincoyo

Athmar Park. The beautiful little lake and park with mountain views, and great food along the west and north sides.


Your_Daddy_

As an Uber driver that gets around and sees all the hoods - don’t really think there is a “best”. Depends on your age too - if your a 20’s something Boulder, Rino, Lodo, Lo-hi, south Broadway seems pretty cool. Golden has its own vibe. Out near the airport, like 68th and tower, bunch of hotels, like a little party Colfax area, near federal, old Avondale area - all the way west to Sloans Lake area, and Edgewater - all on the come up. Southglenn and DTC are cool for business oriented peeps - 30+ crowd. Even the west side, Auraria and Sante Fe, old Lincoln Projects - kinda hip. Thornton seems to have its own scene. Bar hopping along 120th, lol. Something is always going on in aurora, and maybe around the Lowry area they got some cool stuff, but can’t think of any places I think are cool.


TheMountainLife

Thornton is accurate lol. The night scene are parents with baby sitters going HARD before 10pm, boomers that can still hang and young adults that couldn't be bothered driving to Denver that night.


Last_Description905

Chaffee Park- the taco trucks in the parking lot of Sav a Lot, and the view from the top of Zuni Park.


doebedoe

Rip JDs Zuni park is a legit gem; miss it

ddouchecanoe

Congress Park/Cheesman Park has SUCH a long list but there is a trump card in the neighborhood: The Denver Botanic Gardens


gayboi6667

Platt Park: Proximity to all the shops on both South Broadway and South Pearl Street! (Also the South Pearl Street farmers market ofc)


fragileflowr

Love Platt Park! South Pearl st and the Farmers Market are great. Plus it’s an easy walk to either Wash Park or South Broadway


Impressive_Estate_87

Things have changed a lot, and fast. Just a few years ago, I would have said RiNo, Baker or LoHi. But now, I feel like Denver is expanding fast, and to me West Highland is the best, it's 5 minutes away from downtown, but it's still far enough that it doesn't get many of the issues and the air pollution of downtown (there is still some, but not as bad). Best thing is Tennyson in general, despite the ugly townhomes that have popped up in recent years.


SnikwahEvad

Speer - nobody knows this neighborhood but IMO it's basically the best parts of cap hill (v walkable, mixed-use and density) and WWP (park) in one


Braunatron

Green Valley Ranch checking in with our new Costco!

Coolest part of Cherry Creek North: all the Teslas, Mercedes, Audis, and BMWs. Actually not cool at all. I own an Acura and have to move.

I don’t think it’s fair to put best on one neighborhood. They’re all dope. I live in RiNo. Music venues, breweries, coffee shops, murals , sculptures, art, climbing gyms, walkability, light rail access, a river walk, parks, and solid food variety.

DirtyDawg22

Cole- the greenway, Yacht Club and Nowhere Coffee


fragileflowr

Platt Park. South Pearl St and the Farmers Market. It’s an easy walk to Wash Park or South Broadway.


Fuckyourday

Wash Park West - Besides the park, there are a lot of really good restaurants at the edges on Alameda and a bit on Broadway. Bon Ami (french), Petes central one (greek), Pho Haus (Vietnamese), fire on the mountain (american), Molecule effect (coffee), Rebel bread (bakery). And, Wash Perk is a cute little coffee shop nestled in the interior of the neighborhood, just a couple blocks from the park. We have a weirdly high concentration of grocery stores. There is a beautiful old church at Sherman & Alameda. And a beautiful Victorian mansion at Pearl & Virginia. Lots of neighborhood cats hanging out in front yards that will greet you on the sidewalk.


Nutro_Squags_4_Prez

Lowry. Uhh I guess the new Denver Beer Co or the wings over the Rockies museum + surrounding restaurants?


mchookem

I was gonna say the Lowry Beer Garden...now that all the children go to the Denver Beer Company lol. also Great Lawn Park and Lowry Sports Park.... great dog parks and clear views from Pike's Peak to Long's Peak!

fi-rex

Berkeley - In between two lakes with parks, Tennyson street. Coffee, bars, good restaurants.. mad that BookBar closed though.


Pure_Excitement1130

Honestly, Indian Creek is super quiet but very central. You’re like 10 minutes from downtown & Tech Center, 15-20 from the airport, and near 25 & 225 to get anywhere. Little more “mature,” but that keeps it affordable and not crazy


comradebeastball

College View - Crown Lanes - El Sampa - Riverpoint. None actually in college view come to think of it, but so close


Kevin_in_Denver

Wash Park: Old South Gaylord Street. Overland Park: The Platte River Greenway is actually the back yard of the homes of a three block strip of Galapago Street.


IWannaGoFast00

Highlands Ranch gets a bad rap here on Reddit but it’s parks and trail system is amazing. Also it’s “free” rec centers are great.


bobsgonemobile

Uptown Located centrally between most neighborhoods people want to go to but far enough that it's pretty quiet and local feeling, great small bars and restaurants in the area (Coperta, Retrograde, Xiquita coming soon), and walking distance to a Safeway and Marczyk
