Washington Park

One of the Best Neighborhoods to Raise a Family in Denver
Washington Park, also known as "Wash Park," is a lively and desirable neighborhood well-suited for families and young professionals. The neighborhood is known for its tree-lined streets, historic homes, and easy access to some of the city's best parks and recreational areas. With over 100 acres of green space and two lakes at Washington Park, the area naturally attracts adventurers, unwinders, and the young at heart.

In addition to its outdoor amenities, Washington Park has a vibrant restaurant and bar scene along S Gaylord St. and S University Blvd, which leads directly into the University of Denver when heading south.

And before considering universities, families with children will appreciate the neighborhood's excellent schools, which are part of the Denver Public Schools district. Some of the top-rated schools in the area include Steele Elementary School, South High School, and the Denver School of the Arts.
