Congress Park is a charming urban neighborhood full of Craftsman style homes and Denver Squares. Close to downtown Denver and Cherry Creek, it is one of central Denver's most desirable neighborhoods. Tree-lined streets, friendly neighbors, parks and the Denver Botanic Gardens all offer an ambience of welcoming urban presence. Restaurants, coffee shops, quaint retail stores and new brick urban-feel condos add to the mix.
