COUNTRY CLUB NEIGHBORHOOD |
|
The palatial homes neighboring the Denver Country Club bespeak the area’s history of elegance and exclusivity. Bounded by 6th Ave to the north, 1st Street to the south, west of York Street and east of Downing Street, the Country Club neighborhood features architectural gems created for some of the city’s most prestigious families. Politicians, socialites, and successful entrepreneurs have felt at home in this stunningly beautiful and clubby atmosphere. Country Club is close to Cherry Creek and Wash Park, and Speer Boulevard provides easy access to downtown.
The heart of the Country Club area is Country Club Place. It is a subdivision between Franklin and Race Streets. It was designed by William and Arthur Fisher, who worked with prominent Boston architect Frederic Law Olmsted Jr. in 1909. Only 380 homes comprise this magnificent neighborhood, which is still inhabited by many of Denver’s most social and politically elite. The large sprawling lots, historic homes, and proximity to both the actual Denver Country Club and the Cherry Creek fashion mall make this area one of the most exclusive areas in Denver. Wide, tree lines streets add to the elegant atmosphere.
