One of Denver's Crown Jewels

Here is a resent report profiling the richness of the Denver's Sloan's Lake community.  This is wonderful information for anyone looking to move into a neighborhood that for all it offers is probably under valued.  Especially when compared to neighborhoods that have been "hot" for years, such as Washington Park, Hillcrest, Bonnie Brae and now Observatory Park.

Sloan's Lake boasts a "rich mixture of young professionals looking for starter homes, aging boomers looking to downsize, old-timers who never left, a smaller-but-still present Jewish population and a large group of Hispanic residents."  With a median home price of $247,000 and an average square footage of 1,000, these often dated homes are sometimes scraped or popped as allowed by R-2 zoning.  Buyers are often attracted to the million-dollar views of Sloan's Lake, the Front Range and downtown.  While underperforming schools is often a complaint, improvements are in the works.
