Berkeley is quintessential Denver, blending historical charm with contemporary wants. It encompasses a patchwork of Denver Squares and Victorians with modern townhomes and duplexes. It’s residential—with two solid schools—but close to all the necessary amenities, anchored as it is by the fabulous restaurants, bars, and shops along Tennyson Street. And its northern edge is lined with two sprawling green spaces, including one of the city’s 12 off-leash dog parks.

The result is an ideal spot for young families, first-time home buyers, and empty nesters to settle down.
