Aerial view of Cherry Creek Reservoir, marina, green parkland, trails, and highway.

Cherry Creek sits between University Boulevard and Colorado Boulevard on the north bank of the creek it's named for. It is Denver's main luxury shopping district, and over the last 20 years it has also become one of the city's busiest spots for new townhomes and condos.

Homes in Cherry Creek

Most of the original brick homes from the early and mid 1900s have been replaced by modern duplexes and three-story townhomes, many with rooftop decks. Mid-rise and high-rise condo buildings line the edges of Cherry Creek North, and a few hotels have residences attached. Single-family homes still stand on some blocks, and the Country Club and Polo Club areas next door have larger estates.

Shopping, dining and events

Cherry Creek North is about 16 blocks of independent boutiques, galleries, salons and restaurants, laid out on a regular street grid you can walk in an afternoon. South of 1st Avenue, the Cherry Creek Shopping Center holds the department stores and national brands. Every Fourth of July weekend, the Cherry Creek Arts Festival closes streets in Cherry Creek North for a free outdoor show of artists from around the country.

Parks and getting around

The Cherry Creek Trail runs along the creek from Cherry Creek State Park to Confluence Park downtown, so many residents bike to work or to LoDo. By car, downtown is about 10 to 15 minutes up Speer Boulevard.
