Downtown and the first neighborhoods

About Capitol Hill, City Park & the Historic Core

Victorian mansions turned condos, 1920s apartment houses and the brick rows of Whittier, Cole and Curtis Park, all within a short walk or bike ride of downtown.

Denver's earliest neighborhoods ring the downtown core. Capitol Hill and Cheesman Park hold the city's densest collection of pre-war architecture: Richardsonian Romanesque mansions, Denver Squares, and courtyard apartment buildings, with the 80-acre Cheesman Park and the Denver Botanic Gardens at the center. City Park West and the blocks around City Park (330 acres, the zoo and the Museum of Nature & Science) follow the same pattern a mile north.
