Recently I came across the Denver Government website and it had a great overview of various Denver neighborhoods. Washington Park real estate is booming. Here’s their overview of the Washington Park neighborhood also called Wash Park:

Built in 1899, the 162-acre Washington Park, with Smith and Grasmere lakes each ending the long grassy meadow, is a local recreational haven. The three-story red brick 1926 South High School, complete with griffins perched on its roof, overlooks Washington Park from the southeast corner. From I-25 to Cherry Creek and from University Boulevard to Downing Street, the neighborhood is rich with entertainment, like the cluster of small shops and restaurants on South Gaylord and South Pearl Streets.

Recently I came across the Denver Government website and it had a great overview of various Denver neighborhoods. Wellshire Park real estate is booming. Here’s their overview of the Wellshire Park neighborhood:

The residential Wellshire neighborhood, with its meandering and curvy streets, extends from Colorado Boulevard to University Boulevard and from Yale Avenue to Hampden Avenue. One-fourth of the southeast area is home to the 18-hole Wellshire Golf Course designed in 1926 by Donald Ross. The 13.4-acre Skeel Reservoir and mature cottonwood trees make an attractive landscape for golfers. The former clubhouse for the Wellshire Country Club was remodeled in 1976 as the Wellshire Inn at 3333 South Colorado Boulevard.

Strong micro markets do exist in Colorado despite all the press Colorado has gotten lately with foreclosures. Homes above 600, 000 in the Applewood, Golden and Arvada areas are not staying on the market that long. The past month I have seen 3 houses come on the market and quickly go under contract. These houses were in West Wood Estates, near Fairmount elementary school and Table Rock in Golden. If you would like a complete analysis of your home value, pls contact me
