Best Denver Neighborhoods for Young Professionals

Young professionals from the millennial generation and Generation X are playing an increasingly large role in the Denver real estate market these days. These young home buyers typically fall into one of two categories: (1) looking for a turnkey home that requires little improvement or upkeep (2) interested in investing sweat equity to add value and put a personal stamp on a property.

The Denver home market is filled with opportunities to satisfy the needs of both types of buyers. Here is a short list of the best Denver neighborhoods for young professionals.

Wash Park

Split into two sections -- Washing Park and Washington Park West -- this area has a lot to offer young professionals looking to purchase a home. Its excellent walk score and proximity to outdoor adventure, bars, restaurants, and coffee shops make it an ideal location for young singles or couples on the go.

If you’re looking for a turnkey home in a beautiful neighborhood that caters to your needs as a young adult, check out our page on available Wash Park homes.

Cheesman Park

Like Wash Park, this is another top Denver neighborhood built around one of the city’s best parks. What sets Cheesman Park apart is its affordability. Relative to some other top neighborhoods around town, it has lower priced homes that offer young professionals a chance to save money upfront and build value through sweat equity.
