Steeped in history, surrounded by natural beauty and a vibrant community, Park Hill remains one of Denver’s most loved neighborhoods.
“From the early 1920s, Park Hill was an established neighborhood, one frequently characterized as among Denver's most desirable places to live. Developers presented the neighborhood not merely as a place to call home, but as a reflection of accomplishment and affluence, and they appealed to the aspirations of prospective homeowners. Similar appeals continued throughout much of the twentieth century.”

First imagined in 1887
“In 1887, Baron Allois Gullaume Engine von Winckler designed the original Park Hill development on 32 acres of land he owned in northeast Denver. As the neighborhood grew, settlers from many nations, including England, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, and Italy, moved into the neighborhood, as did African Americans. Today, both South and North Park Hill remain diverse communities representing many ethnic backgrounds."—Source: Denver Public Library
