"I breathe a sigh of relief every time I cross south of Hampden into Cherry Hills."

Meandering trails, distinguished Country Clubs, top-notch public schools and magnificent real estate properties... Denver’s most affluent suburb, Cherry Hills attracts those searching for the area’s finest homes on pastoral lots with plenty of room for breathing.

The rural atmosphere is the draw – along with a short six mile drive to downtown Denver and half that to the Denver Tech Center. Fewer than 6000 people call this picturesque six square mile area home.

In 1945, the city was incorporated by its residents who were concerned that aggressive development would encroach upon their private spaces. Generous lots, some with breathtaking mountain views, were protected with strict zoning requirements. The city now has its own Police and Fire Departments, as well as municipal officers for Community Development and Animal Control (more resident rabbits and coyotes than people in this town!)

The Highline is host to miles of hiking, biking, running and equestrian trails. And for those seeking a more gentile approach to relaxation, Cherry Hills Country Club, Glenmoor Country Club, Arapahoe Tennis Club and the Village Club are all in the neighborhood.

From 1950’s ranch-style homes on ½ acre lots to golf course communities to horse properties to magnificent estates, Cherry Hills offers an array of architecturally diverse neighborhoods. Large lot size as well as two excellent elementary schools in the neighborhood attract families to SOHA (South of Hampden).

5280 Magazine says “nearly every street in Cherry Hills elicits "oohs" and "aahhs." Our favorites are the private lanes adjacent to Cherry Hills Country Club and those hidden away behind Kent Country Day School.
