Lush and lovely. Between Colorado Boulevard, 6th Avenue, Alameda, and Holly is prestigious Hilltop. The well-kept streets and lawns and central location make it a hot real estate item for Denver’s best. Homes, many rebuilt and with “pop-tops”, include a collection of styles from traditional English Tudors and custom 1950s style ranch homes to contemporary multi-levels and million-dollar castles.

Full of aristocracy, Hilltop has its own landmark; the spectacular Cranmer Mansion, a Mediterranean renaissance masterpiece, sits at Hilltops highest point. Two parks grace the area. While Robinson is famous for its sledding hill, Cranmer’s 23-acre space was built with a magnificent inner city view of the Front Range, a seven-and-a-half foot sundial, and a city ordinance that will never allow buildings to block the western view. Across from Cranmer sits Graland Country Day School, a private school for grades K-9.

Live in Hilltop and enjoy convenient access to groceries, fitness classes, and restaurants just south of Alameda, or cross Colorado Boulevard into Cherry Creek for premier shopping and dining. Anyone looking for just the right combination of status and locale will be happy in Hilltop. Average list prices are around $1.1 million.
