Ballpark Neighborhood

by Larry D. McGee, Denver Realtor on October 17, 2007

ballpark neighborhoodWith the excitement caused by the Colorado Rockies and their phenomenal journey to the 2007 World Series, it seems a good time to relate the Rockies and Coors Field to the neighborhoods around the exceptionally well designed home of Denver’s professional baseball team. To the northeast lies the Ballpark Neighborhood Historic District. The Denver Planning Office was the first to attach to use the term “Ballpark Historic District” in late 1992 as a working name for a study conducted to assess the historical and architectural significance of the area. Despite efforts to establish Landmark designation for the area in the middle 1990’s, the neighborhood was not designated as an historic district until 2002. Various development guidelines were established to create consistency in sidewalks, street lighting, tree, pedestrian and vehicle access, and building architecture.

Currently there are various new development and redevelopment projects in evidence in the area. Over the next week we will highlight those and focus on the other neighborhoods affected by Coors Field, such as LODO and Prospect Park.

Colorado Rockies and Real Estate

by Kristal Kraft on October 17, 2007

This morning’s Denver Post online blogged about how many posts are being written about the Rockies. The article said inTodd Helton Hitting for the Rockies the past 120 minutes more than 100 post were written. That’s nearly a blog per minute.

Amazing? Not really. Denver is alive with excitement and anticipation right now. It is very hard not to get caught up in the celebration. Everywhere we go conversations are started with our beloved Rockies being the main topic.

This type of community commonality is good for everyone. We get to meet and chat with people we ordinarily would ignore. Getting to know the person who waits on you at the grocery store, dry cleaners or department store is a good thing. Being friendly and happy brings more joy into our lives. The day goes better, the sun is brighter and the rain goes away quicker.

Are the Rockies going to win the World Series? You betcha! Denver go visit the Hottest Real Estate on Earth and BYOB.
