Hilltop

 

One of the city's most scenic, most expensive, and most sought-after residential neighborhoods is Hilltop, sitting just east of Cherry Creek. Hilltop is a one square mile neighborhood bordered by Colorado Boulevard and Holly Street, from 6th Avenue to Alameda Avenue. Cranmer Park, once the highest point in Denver, is the star of the neighborhood thanks to its large, open meadow, mountain views, and six-foot sundial. The neighborhood was one of the first in Denver to be planned based on the car instead of the streetcar. So, streets are flat and wide, and most garage access is not through alleyways. Cherry Creek's extensive shops and dining are just down the street.
