The Communities of Denver:

Neighborhoods are more than subdivisions. Like most cities, Denver's neighborhoods started out as a polyglot of subdivisions and became a place to come home to. In some cases, small towns were annexed by Denver as economic power of Colorado's capitol city grew, and in other cases developers annexed large tracts of land to Denver to take advantage of superior city services. Although schools are very important, when buying your home, neighborhood quality ranks as the most important consideration. From this page you can link to many of Denver's best known neighborhoods for a brief history, general values, drive times, and further links to things of interest.

Living in Denver's best neighborhoods is a pleasure no matter what your lifestyle needs. The weather is generally pleasant, with 300 days of sunshine per year. Nestled at the foot of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains at the edge of Plains, early city visionaries saw a need for trees, and today most of Denver proper neighborhoods have beautiful tree lined streets. Even the new areas such as Highlands Ranch have trees and parks in mind.
