Park-Like • Suburban • Quaint • Outdoors • Restaurants • Walkable •

Known as one of Denver’s best neighborhoods, Washington Park is named for its expansive city park offering various opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors. Take advantage of the boat rentals on Smith Lake or the bike rentals nearby at Washington Park. A playground, recreation center, jogging trails, athletic fields and courts, a community garden, and open lawns are all available to residents of this quaint neighborhood.

Washington Park boasts luscious lawns, tree-lined streets, and many craftsman style homes, making this a beautiful, inviting neighborhood. Families appreciate the charming environment of Washington Park and the excellent public schools like South High School. A smaller neighborhood park, Veterans Park, is just south of the school, known for its community center and athletic fields. Residents who commute to and from Washington Park have easy access to Interstate 25 and Highway 2, and Downtown Denver is a quick four miles northwest of town.

Washington Park is located south of the Cherry Creek Shopping Center and the Denver Country Club, and just north of the University of Denver. Though the neighborhood is mainly park land and residential streets, Washington Park hosts a few local restaurants of its own. Check out Washington Park Grille or Bronnie Brae Ice Cream after you find your perfect rental in this Denver suburb.

Having lived in Washington Park for most of my life, this is an excellent neighborhood. The park itself is a great place to walk, run, bike, and play frisbee in the grassy areas. The small Gaylord Street boutique and restaurant area is a fun place to spend a Friday evening or Sunday brunch. Pearl Street, in W.P. West, offers classier restaurants and shopping. A fire department and police station are within the neighborhood. The closest high school is South.

In a city with lots of beauty, Wash Park is one of the most beautiful places in Denver. Tons of mature trees, safe, family-friendly, and a very educated, yet diverse group of neighbors that actually like each other. One common theme among people that live in Wash Park is the extraordinary amount of value placed on health and quality of life - like I've never experienced anywhere. It's kind of the Boulder of Denver.
