Denver I Q

Colorado’s natural diversity constantly intrigues and amazes me through each season. Fall is no exception with the changing trees and ideal weather it’s difficult to find an equal match.

Actually the question I get asked most by people relocating to Denver from other climates is about our freezing cold weather. This is a myth that I assure people is not only untrue but further from the truth than one would imagine. Anybody who has been in Denver for the entire cycle of the year knows that the weather is the most favorable element of Colorado living. There aren’t many places that one could wake up and walk for coffee in shorts and hours later be skiing in a foot of snow–still in the sunshine.

The pictures here were taken in Washington Park, one of Denver’s charming urban neighborhoods. The area is made up of historic single-family houses, duplex living and some multi-family communities. The charm comes from the original architecture blended with the beauty & recreation of Washington Park. The park is Denver’s most used park with rec paths, tennis & basketball courts, jungle gyms, two small lakes and open fields for soccer & volleyball. The 165-arce park is an oasis in the city and draws much attention year-round.

The residential areas are split into two areas: Washington Park and West Washington Park and homes and lots sizes vary in each. Currently the average home price in Wash Park is $560,000 while West Wash Park is around $460,000. While many of the original features still exist in the majority of these homes they have been updated–some a little and others completely renovated or scraped & a new home built in it’s place. There are a number of homes currently available for sale.
