Park Hill Neighborhood Three miles from the Central Business District and primarily residential, Denver's Park Hill neighborhood begins just east of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science on Colorado Boulevard to Quebec Street and from Colfax Avenue to as far north as 52nd Avenue. Montview Boulevard, developed in 1882, and Monaco Parkway are main thoroughfares and typify the wide, tree-lined neighborhood streets. Park Hill's nationally recognized neighborhood organization sponsors an annual tour of the many historic homes in this welcoming community. In 1898, in response to the Spanish-American War, Baron Von Winckler allowed land directly north of the original development to be used as a camp for the Colorado National Guard. It housed 1,400 troops in tents. Shortly after this, the Baron committed suicide, reportedly after seeing the troops leave for the Philippines. Today Park Hill is popular amongst generations of Denver urbanites. Many children who grew up in Park Hill returned as adults to purchase homes and raise their own families. Park Hill has some of the best architecture in the city. The grand Boulevards of 17th Avenue and Montview are lined with distinguished examples of some of the City's grandest mansions. Tudors, Grand Bungalows, Italianate Masterpieces and Spanish Villas line the streets. Many of the homes are spacious for their era - the early 1900s through the 1930's and the prices continue to be competitive for an established urban area. Park Hill is just across Colorado from City park, The museum of Nature and Science, The Denver Zoo and City Park Golf Course. It is anchored by several thriving shopping districts that feature unique independent businesses. We liked it so much that we moved here 10 years ago and call it home to this day.
