Neighborhood Ties: Highlands
“I think people forget how cool the river is, I mean the Platte. We see so much wildlife down there. For being in the heart of the city, we've seen bald eagles down there, coyotes, hawks, beavers, huge turtles, muskrats; pretty consistently you'll see something. I think that people forget that that nature fix is right there, just a 10 minute walk from downtown.” - Carl Reichley, Highlands neighbor Continue Reading

“People actually live here. It's not just someplace to drive through. There are things going on here and people living their lives here.” -Antonia Montoya, Globeville neighbor Continue Reading

Neighborhood Ties: Cherry Creek
“Where else in the city can you just walk out the door and walk to everything? There's no where else, really. I walk to the grocery store, to the post office, to the library, to the dentist; there's everything here. It's so European.” -Marianne Orkin, Cherry Creek neighbor Continue Reading

I thought it would be fake or something, but I joined this moms club and I met like a hundred other moms--a hundred!! And I hang out with them and I think that's so cool. It's just our neighborhood group.” -Rebekah Henderson, Stapleton neighbor Continue Reading
Neighborhood Ties: Five Points
"Some of the greatest musicians and entertainers passed through here. I mean, they were walking up and down Welton Street. So it's like, okay, Count Basie was here and I'm walking where he used to walk? It's that connection to the past that I just really love." - Cha Ka, Five Points Community Advocate Ball Park? Curtis Park? RiNo? That's all Five Points. This neighborhood is home to some of Denver's oldest homes and some of its newest developments. It's a neighborhood that has always Continue Reading
Neighborhood Ties: Washington Park
“I grew up in L.A. and I was trying to describe Wash Park to someone out there, so I said, it's like a beach in the middle of a city. A beach community is small and tight, and there's always lots of activity all over the place, all of the time. The park is the big draw here and there's so much activity going on all the time. It's an amenity that's really a plus for the neighborhood, just like a beach would be.” -Janet Lammens, Wash Park neighbor Continue Reading
Neighborhood Ties: Capitol Hill
"I don't think you can get any more centrally located than Cap Hill. I park my car on Friday and I very rarely turn it on before Monday. You've got the whole package here, there are singles and families; there are so many places you can walk to and there are so many events going on all the time." -Tim Vargo, Cap Hill neighbor Continue Reading
