A few miles southeast of Downtown Denver along Interstate 25 lies the suburban neighborhood of University Hills. Apartments in the area provide easy access to Denver's light rail and bus system as well as the sprawling Eisenhower Park and its recreation center, with a pool, athletic fields, and tennis courts. The High Line Canal Trail bisects the neighborhood with possibilities for hiking, biking, and horseback riding.
The Colorado Center movie theater features an IMAX screen and hosts many sneak previews of upcoming films. Several shopping centers sit on the edge of town, as well as local and chain restaurants. Lovers of international cuisine enjoy several options for dining without having to leave town. An active neighborhood association hosts an annual neighborhood picnic and other activities that are great for meeting neighbors. Residents can easily travel to Englewood, Lakewood, and Aurora as well.
