Looking for a safe, urban, walkable neighborhood with large parks and lots of room to play? Look no further than Denver’s Berkeley neighborhood.

Featuring vibrant and lively Tennyson Street, residents here enjoy a great mix of shops, restaurants, bars, breweries, art, and culture. Berkeley Lake Park and Rocky Mountain Lake Park offer mountain views, walking paths, tennis courts, a community swimming pool, and a dog park.

Also, a bonus for kids of all ages, Lakeside Amusement Park sits next to the neighborhood on the west side of Sheridan Boulevard. The neighborhood is also conveniently located near Interstate 70, making it easier for residents to drive to the mountains.

The Berkeley neighborhood is evolving and modernizing. It offers everything from homes built in the 1920s, classic Denver styles, including bungalows, Victorians and Denver Squares, to modern builds, including duplexes and row homes.

You’ll also find converted Victorian homes along Tennyson Street that have been transformed into shops and restaurants. While this area has always been extremely popular, like the rest of the Denver metro, prices skyrocketed in Berkeley in the past year.

Single family homes in Berkeley that once went for $500,000 to $600,000 are now going for $800,000. Some homes are even selling for $1 million or more. Condos and row homes sell for $600,000 to $800,000, too.

Despite the price increases, properties still sell quickly, with few staying on the market for more than four or five days. New construction opportunities have waitlists.

The neighborhood appeals to young families, many who buy their second homes after selling a condo, townhome or smaller house. Berkeley also is attractive to empty nesters who appreciate the ease of walking to shopping and dining.

Featuring a mix of new buyers and long-time residents, it’s easy to see Berkeley’s appeal. Ready to check out this popular Denver neighborhood? Contact Metrowest today – we’d be happy to show you around!
