University Park Neighborhood Information

University Park dates back to 1892, a time when the University of Denver located in that area. Professors and administrators lived in the neighborhood, which was dotted with fraternity and sorority houses.

Today the stately homes are diverse, and range from frame ranches built in the 50′s to Victorian homes with carriage houses on huge lots. A sense of community and gracious living make this upscale University Park appealing.

The architecturally stunning Denver University provides swimming and exercise centers which are open to the public. Local cultural and sporting events provide entertainment, as does the nearby Observatory Park, which boasts of a small working observatory.

University Park is defined unilaterally by the special dynamics of a historic neighborhood enhanced by the high mindedness of academia.
