PLATT PARK NEIGHBORHOOD |
|
The Platt Park neighborhood has the best of both worlds for those who like its proximity to downtown and those who enjoy its separation from the urban center. The location is ideal for developers building new homes and duplexes that fit this area’s energetic spirit. Bounded by Downing on the east, Broadway on the west, Evans on the south and I-25 on the north, Platt Park is seeing many of its older homes remodeled for 21st century living. Schools and businesses cater to growing numbers of young families in the area. It gem is Old South Pearl Street’s charming shops and restaurants that draw people from all over the city, as do the antique shops on South Broadway, and not to mention the park itself.
Platt Park is popular to the region because of its numerous shops, restaurants and other business, as well as a Sunday farmer’s market. Whether you’re a resident within walking distance of this enclave or a Denverite exploring the city’s dining options, you can always find something that appeals to you. Lying to the southeast of Platt Park is the University of Denver that mixes well with its established, upscale neighborhood which is a well maintained section with older homes that have been around since the early 20th century. The streets are lined with old, majestic trees adding seasonal charm and beauty in the summer and fall. Sandwiched between Wash Park and DU, Platt Park has a distinctive feel with its historic homes, idyllic shops, and beautiful green spaces. And because of this, the home prices in Platt Park’s upscale neighborhood will soon be no different from its more expensive neighbors. Platt Park and the neighborhoods surrounding it aren’t cheap, but they offer an undisputedly high quality of life: beautiful homes, lots to do within walking distance, proximity to downtown, and all the cultural offerings of DU at arm’s reach.
