Whittier Denver Real Estate

Whittier is home to many small parks that include Dr. Daniel Hale Williams Park, Frederick Douglass Park, George Sr Morrison Park and Fuller Park. Although none are as large or diverse as neighboring City Park, with a total of two basketball courts, three playgrounds and a dog park they’re great for picnics, exercising the kids or running the dog. However for a little more diversity try the 320-acre heaven of City Park, which  has two lakes, the Denver Zoo, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, a large wood and sand playground, tennis courts and sporting fields. Although there’s not a lot of Main Street-type retail, Whittier is centrally located and has a Light Rail station on the corner of Downing and Welton that’s a direct link to downtown. 

Also, with neighbors like Curtis Park, Five Points and Uptown there’s access to everything from the American-contemporary cuisine of Steuben’s to historic Welton Street where Charlie Parker and Billie Holliday haunt the Rossonian Hotel and modern-day musicians stake their claims at Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom. To the south Colfax Avenue and to the west Colorado Boulevard are both major thoroughfares leading to I-25, I-70 or both.

Although Whittier Denver real estate seems like an up-and-coming neighborhood it’s not yet experiencing the real-estate boom of neighboring Curtis Park and Five Points.
