Southeast Denver neighborhood of mid-century brick ranches and bi-levels between Colorado Boulevard, Hampden Avenue and I-25.
University Hills is a triangle of southeast Denver bounded by Colorado Boulevard on the west, Hampden Avenue on the south and I-25 on the north and east. It took its name from the University of Denver about a mile to the northwest, but the campus itself sits in a different neighborhood. University Hills is mostly quiet residential streets laid out after World War II.
Most houses were built in the 1950s and early 1960s: brick ranches, bi-levels and split-levels on lots that are larger than what you find closer to downtown. Many have been updated inside, and some lots have been rebuilt with two-story modern homes. Expect mature trees, attached or detached garages, and basements in most homes.
This is one of the easier Denver neighborhoods for commuting. Yale Station sits on the neighborhood's edge, with Colorado Station and Southmoor Station close by, so light rail reaches downtown and the Denver Tech Center without a transfer. I-25 wraps around two sides of the neighborhood, and the Tech Center is about 10 minutes south by car.
The shopping center at Colorado Boulevard and Yale Avenue covers groceries and errands. The Ross-University Hills branch of the Denver Public Library is inside the neighborhood. Wellshire Golf Course is just across Colorado Boulevard, and DU's campus, restaurants and events are a short drive or light rail ride north.
No. The University neighborhood surrounds the University of Denver campus. University Hills is about a mile southeast, between Colorado Boulevard, Hampden Avenue and I-25.
Yes. Yale Station is on the neighborhood's edge, and Colorado and Southmoor stations are nearby, all on the line between downtown and the Tech Center.
Mostly brick ranches, bi-levels and split-levels from the 1950s and early 1960s, plus some newer two-story homes on rebuilt lots.
