    Hilltop: Denver's Best-Kept Secret for Discerning Homebuyers

    Hilltop stands as one of Denver's most architecturally significant and desirable neighborhoods, yet it often flies under the radar compared to flashier Cherry Creek. Those who discover Hilltop find a treasure trove of Tudor Revivals, Colonial mansions, and Georgian estates lining wide, tree-canopied streets—many with the original craftsmanship that's simply impossible to replicate today.

    Developed primarily in the 1920s through 1950s, Hilltop attracts buyers who appreciate hardwood floors, leaded glass windows, intricate millwork, and generous lot sizes (typically 9,000-15,000 square feet). New construction is carefully designed to complement the neighborhood's character, with contemporary homes sitting harmoniously alongside century-old classics.

    The location is unbeatable: just one mile from Cherry Creek's shopping and dining, five minutes to downtown Denver, and surrounded by the highly-rated Cherry Creek School District. Crestmoor Park provides a neighborhood gathering spot, while the quiet, low-traffic streets make it ideal for families with children.
