Neighborhood guides

Denver neighborhoods, one guide at a time.

Six guides written by the brokers who work there: the homes, the parks, the streets and what to check before you buy.

  • Washington Park, Highland, Sloan's Lake
  • Park Hill, Central Park, Berkeley

How we write these

Guides about places, written by brokers.

Every guide is written by a Pikewell broker who works in that neighborhood, and each covers the same four things: the homes, the parks, the streets and how you get around.

You will not find opinions about who lives where, which schools are best or how safe a block feels. Fair housing law asks brokers to leave those judgments to you, and we agree with it. We point you to the public sources and let you decide.

For schools

Denver Public Schools publishes a school finder with boundaries and enrollment details for every address.

For crime data

The Denver Police Department publishes maps you can search by address and date.

For zoning and permits

The City and County of Denver has a public map showing what can be built on any lot, and a permit history for each address.

Questions people ask

Choosing a neighborhood, answered.

What people ask when they are comparing parts of Denver.

Which Denver neighborhood is right for me?

Start with how you spend a normal week. If you want a big park outside your door, look at Washington Park or Sloan's Lake. If you want to walk to dinner, look at Highland or Berkeley. If you want a newer home with a garage, look at Central Park. If you want a 1920s house on a wide street, look at Park Hill.

Why don't your guides talk about schools or crime?

Fair housing law keeps brokers from steering buyers with opinions about who lives where. So our guides stick to homes, parks, streets and transit. For schools, Denver Public Schools publishes a school finder. For crime data, the Denver Police Department publishes maps you can search by address.

How current are the price ranges?

On this demo they are sample figures. On a live site they refresh from MLS sales each month, and each guide shows the date of the last update.

Do you work outside these six neighborhoods?

Yes. We take buyers and sellers across metro Denver. These six are where we work most often, so they have full guides.
