New Housing + Retail Options Potentially coming to North Park Hill

Compared with other neighborhoods near downtown Denver like South Park Hill, prices remain relatively reasonable in North Park Hill, making it an appealing neighborhood to house hunters and investors alike.

Real estate pros note that in this area buyers get a lot of bang for their buck, with more updated homes available in the neighborhood, and more that are coming on the market.

The neighborhood’s proximity to the I-70 corridor and light rail makes accessing Denver International Airport or downtown super convenient. Three thoroughfares — East 23rd and East 26th avenues plus Martin Luther King Boulevard — offer opportunities to drive or bike anywhere from City Park to Central Park in minutes.

And even more exciting, the area north of the neighborhood is poised for a potential major makeover.

Denver City Council will let voters decide on April 4 whether to redevelop the long-dormant Park Hill golf course. Voters will decide whether to release the city-owned conservation easement, which requires using the land primarily for golf-related purposes and allow for commercial and residential development.

If voters approve, developers could add 3,200 housing units focusing on affordable housing, retail shops, a potential grocery store, and a regional park.

The neighborhood is home to pre-1960s ranches on average size tree-shaded lots. Plus, some newer, larger infill builds. Here, buyers can still find a single-family home for $500,000 to $600,000. North Park Hill appeals to first-time home buyers, singles, young families, and empty nesters who want to downsize and live closer to downtown.
