Cherry Creek East
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
The residential zone east of the Cherry Creek North BID, bordered by 1st Avenue (south), Alameda (further south), Steele Street, and Colorado Boulevard. The Cherry Creek East Association formally recognizes this as a distinct neighborhood. Pulaski Park (6.1 acres at 3300 E Bayaud, named for Polish Revolutionary War commander General Kazimierz Pulaski) anchors the zone with a playground, picnic lawns, and direct access to the Cherry Creek Trail. Burns Park Sculpture Garden and the smaller James N. Manley Park round out the green network. Housing stock runs from 1920s Tudor cottages and mid-century ranches to new luxury townhomes, with many lots redeveloped in the past two decades. Daily patterns include espresso runs to the BID, gallery openings, patio lunches, and shaded walks along the Cherry Creek Trail. Pricing is slightly more accessible than the residential core: townhomes start in the $600Ks, single-family clears into the low millions.
