The View from Riverfront Park in Denver, CO

By
Real Estate Agent with The Devonshire Company

Since I live in Riverfront Park, I thought it only fitting to write a blog about this Lower Downtown Denver area.

I like to refer to Riverfront Park as a city within a city because of the never-ending community feeling you get when you're here not to mention the shops, restaurants and parks all located right in the heart of Downtown Denver.

You know you're in Riverfront Park when you cross the Millennium Bridge-your walkway to the other side of the tracks. Literally. Once you cross over the railroad tracks into Riverfront Park, you're in another world.

A world where dogs rule. So much that a foundation has been started to open an off-leash dog park in the neighborhood called The Railyard Dogs.

A world where you'll find an array of interesting and eclectic residents exercising, shopping and hob knobbing with their friends at places like Zengo and McLoughlin's.

This neighborhood is set amidst the beauty of the South Platte River (the "river" in Riverfront Park) and Commons Park. East West Partners, the developer of the project, has found true magic in combining the best of city living and the beauty of the surrounding nature that every Coloradoan has in his heart.

This little "city within a city" has turned Denver real estate on its toes, breaking records and hearts with it's opening of Glass House. Only a lucky few hopefuls were able to purchase condos in the house made of glass with views to the ends of the earth. The units sold out in record time leaving thousands of home-buying wannabes in its wake.

I'm one of the lucky few who call this one-of-a-kind neighborhood home. I'm anxious to see the development still to take place-the Union Station Redevelopment Plan will bring a whole new feeling to the Denver real estate community. New high rises and townhomes promise to bring a new generation of interesting and eclectic residents to experience the life and live the dream here in Riverfront Park.
