Washington Park Real Estate Information

Beautifully set against a backdrop of the Rocky Mountains and downtown Denver, Washington Park is a thriving suburban neighborhood serving the Denver community.
Planned in 1899, the planned area is well landscaped with a Lily pond, a large meadow, large parks, and large grows of Russian willows and other trees along Smith Lake. One of Washington Park?s most visited garden is an exact replica of Martha Washington?s Mount Vernon garden. Because Washington Park is one of Denver?s oldest neighborhoods, a number of old brick houses still line some of the area?s most traveled roads. The recently built RTD light rail station provides an essential mass transit link between the neighborhood and downtown Denver. However, Washington Park?s close proximity to the I-25 gives residents the alternative of driving.

Residents enjoy posh living in Washington Park because of its several jogging trails, tennis courts, croquet field, and oversized playgrounds. The Washington Park Community Center boasts an indoor pool, weight room, exercise equipment, and gym.
The actual Washington Park is several blocks long and besides two large lakes also features nice walkways, picnic areas, and other recreational opportunities. Vanderbilt Park, Takayama Park, Pulaski Park, and Takayama Brest Park are smaller neighborhood parks that enhance the residential experience, especially for the many families that live in Washington Park. An especially large Memorial Day celebration is held in Washington Park, alongside Denver?s renown Summer Art Market and the Cherry Creek Arts Fesitival. The annual Shake, Rattle and Stroll 1K is usually a big hit as well.

South Gaylor Street and Alameda Avenue comprise the major commercial thoroughfares in Washington Park. Cherry Creek Shopping Center is the main retail area in Washington Park because of its lofty promenades and diverse range of stores.
The Denver Country Club is a prestigious club in the heart of Washington Park and is attractive weekend hang out. Due to Washington Park?s rather small community, there is a single elementary, middle, and high school in the neighborhood. However, Denver?s “choice” application process allows students to attend schools outside of their home district. Over a dozen private institutions are within a five to ten minute drive from the heart of Washington Park.
