Washington Park Real Estate — Quite a History

One of the nation’s most wonderful neighborhoods was created almost by chance by a buffalo wallow, a gardening expert, and someone who dug ditches.

Washington Park Real Estate exemplifies a perfect relationship between the urban outdoors and outstanding homes. The park is where we jog, peddle our bikes, throw the frisbee, walk our dogs, and enjoy the lakes and gardens. The Washington Park neighborhood is full of cool hunters, empty nesters, real estate investors, long-term residents and newcomers from other parts of the world. It is vibrant, serene, colorful, and majestic. It is close to everything Denver has to offer and has the Rocky Mountains and the Colorado blue sky as its backdrop.

The Washington Park Real Estate Architecture is a random, but lovely mix of the old and new with original brick bungalows and new infill development snuggled together, side-by-side.

The ditch still exists, but very few are aware of its history. The water in the ditch today is there more for entertaining dogs and not to provide water to the city as it was originally planned. The gardener planted the trees and shrubs that created the magnificent and peaceful setting that the park offers today. The buffalo wallow is now one of the two landmark lakes that attract the ducks, the geese, and the children fishermen.

Balls are everywhere. Bocce balls, tennis balls, volleyballs, soccer balls, croquet balls, and footballs all fly and roll and bounce amid the huffing and puffing and gleeful laughter of the residents and visitors alike.

Residents of Washington Park are known for their well manicured lawns and beautiful gardens. They sit on their porch enjoying tea or a glass of wine and wave to the passers by. Neighbors are often seen carrying food across lawns to share with the folks next-door. And the pounding of hammers, the roar of saws and the rumble of trucks form the soundtrack of our urban outdoors constant evolution. Given these surroundings, why wouldn’t Washington Park Real Estate values be stable and strong? They are. Washington Park has seen the strongest appreciation in prices of any Denver neighborhood over the last 13 years, averaging 10% per year. The growth of young families, gentrification of homes through renovations, and the construction of new homes that bring bigger, fresh homes, all contribute to the stable values. For those looking for a wonderful urban outdoor lifestyle in a lovely, centrally located neighborhood with a healthy mix of new and old residents and strong real estate values, Washington Park Real Estate offers a home for all those reasons and more. And to think this wonderful neighborhood began with a ditch digger, a gardener, and a buffalo wallow.
