Neighborhood Spotlight: Washington Park
A crown jewel of the coveted urban outdoor lifestyle.
Washington Park, known affectionately as "Wash Park" by locals, is one of Denver’s landmark neighborhoods that surrounds its namesake park. Although construction on the park began in 1899, the development and growth of the neighborhood spanned over the course of 50 years. Initially fueled by the founding of the University of Denver and the arrival of streetcar lines, growth continued in lockstep with residents’ desire to escape downtown. Wash Park became the epicenter of the more recent Denver renaissance around 25 years ago, resulting in the restoration and renovation of many beloved historic homes in the neighborhood.
What To Expect
Washington Park consists of two distinct neighborhoods: Wash Park East (more commonly known as Wash Park) and Wash Park West. Wash Park East is characterized by its larger single-family homes from Denver Squares and Victorians to modern new builds and restored Tudors, only minutes from Bonnie Brae and Cherry Creek. Wash Park West, Wash Park’s slightly more accessible counterpart, consists of bungalows, Queen Anne Victorians, and Cape Cods, with easy access to Baker, Platt Park, and I-25. The 155-acre park is the heart and soul of this neighborhood, uniting the East and West.
Why We Love It
Filled with charming residential and retail enclaves, and a haven for outdoor enthusiasts who love to cycle, walk, and jog, Wash Park truly does have it all. Friendly neighbors in this tight-knit community take great pride in maintaining the homes and local businesses, adding to the appeal of the neighborhood. Tree lined streets, modern amenities, and community pride combined with the charm of the past make Wash Park one of the most beloved neighborhoods in Denver.
