The Country Club Neighborhood is a small community of about 550 homes with high quality, high end architectural design and construction. The landscaped parkways are a defining element of the Country Club Neighborhood, and create a feeling of park-like spaciousness. The two main features of the Country Club Neighborhood are the Denver Country Club itself, which is located in the southern part of the neighborhood on First Avenue and Speer Blvd, and the Country Club Historic District which was designated as a Landmark District in 1990. The wide streets, well maintained sidewalks, mature trees, and houses set back from the street give the area a distinguished look. Located just minutes from the Cherry Creek Shopping District, the Country Club Neighborhood is one of the most beautiful and sought-after neighborhoods in Denver.
The Country Club Neighborhood is predominantly single-family mansions and large homes. The homes come in a variety of architectural styles including Denver Squares, Spanish Style Mansions, Mediterranean Style Mansions, Bungalows, Victorians, large Tudors and Colonial Mansions.
In 1902, the wealthy owners of the Denver Country Club purchased 120 acres along Cherry Creek for the new site for their Club. That same day, this group purchased land to the north and incorporated the Fourth Avenue Realty Company to build estate type homes in the area. The Country Club Neighborhood is divided into four subdivisions - Park Place Club, Country Club Place, Country Club Annex, and Park Lane Square. Most of the homes were built in the 1910s and 1920s, with many of the houses being showcases for the Denver architects of the period.
The Country Club Neighborhood incorporates some of the finest examples of historic architecture in Denver today.
