South Park Hill
By Jessica Car · Updated April 2026
The crown jewel of Park Hill, stately Tudor Revivals, Colonial Revivals, and Denver Squares on wide, tree-lined streets between Colfax and 23rd avenues, directly east of City Park. Homes are typically 1,800 to 3,500 square feet on generous lots with detached garages, original hardwood floors, and covered front porches. This is Park Hill's most expensive zone, driven by proximity to City Park's 330 acres (Denver Zoo, Museum of Nature & Science, Ferril Lake), walkability to 23rd Avenue's restaurant row, and the architectural character of the 1920s–40s housing stock. Morning joggers circle the park lakes, residents walk to the zoo, and the neighborhood retains a quiet, established feel despite being minutes from downtown.
