#22019 rank: 3
Washington Park is where you take visitors when you’re trying to show Denver off, so it’s not surprising that the surrounding neighborhood keeps finding itself near the top of the ranks. In a city full of green spaces—more than 270 at last count—Wash Park stands out as one of the largest and most beloved. It calls to active, young families who want to meet up with friends to play spike ball while their kids explore the expansive central playground and then stroll back to their remodeled early 20th century Victorian homes, brick bungalows, or more opulent new builds. (The average sale price topped $1 million this year.) The neighborhood’s prime location, low crime rank (third on our list), and high-scoring Steele Elementary School are big draws, as is its proximity to Historic South Gaylord Street’s quaint commercial strip.
