HILLTOP NEIGHBORHOOD |
|
Spacious, stylish homes line the immaculate streets of Hilltop. Bounded by Colorado Boulevard, 6th Avenue, Alameda Avenue and Monaco Blvd., Hilltop is one of Denver’s “status-symbol” neighborhoods, with a nice mix of grand old homes & new classics. Cranmer Park is at the center of it all, offering 23 acres of open space and playing fields. Excellent schools and wide, safe streets attract families and residents who appreciate Hilltop’s above-it-all location and easy access to groceries, shops and restaurants.
The Hilltop neighborhood gets it name from the fact that it is higher in elevation than the surrounding parts of the city. In the center of the neighborhood is Cranmer Park, with a view of the Front Range mountains. The Graland Country Day School, an independent, co-educational day school for grades K-8 is located in the neighborhood, as is Temple Emanuel. Hilltop is home to several other notable structures, including the Joshel House, Amter Residence, and Cranmer House.
The predominant architecture is 1930’s to 1960’s ranches and two stories. Many have been extensively remodeled. Recently, many new homes have been built here as “in-fills”. In other words, builders bought vacant lots and built brand new homes. These newer homes have become ubiquitous. They range in price from $1M-$4M and are generally over 3000 square feet…plus finished basements. There are smaller and older homes here too. They generally are priced from $350,000 to $1.2M. Sizes range from 900 square foot homes built in the 1960’s to expansive ranches and more historical homes (both bungalows and gracious two-stories). There are even a few colonial styled homes here.
