Hilltop Home Buying Guide

Larger lots, quiet tree-lined streets, and some of Denver's highest home prices.

What it's like to live here

Hilltop is a quiet, established neighborhood of larger lots and tree-lined streets between Cherry Creek and Lowry, often associated with the Cherry Creek School District boundary.

Housing types

Primarily detached single-family homes, including many mid-century originals alongside extensive renovations and ground-up rebuilds on larger lots.

Character

One of Denver's highest-priced neighborhoods, popular with families prioritizing larger lots, quiet streets and top-rated schools.

Proximity

A short drive to Cherry Creek's shopping and dining, with easy access to Lowry and I-70/I-25 for commuters.

HOA prevalence

Uncommon; most Hilltop homes are standalone single-family properties without an HOA, though some newer developments may include one.

Price data

Recent listing data shows a median price in the $2 million-plus range, with entry points around $800,000 for smaller or original-condition homes. Hilltop consistently ranks among Denver's most expensive neighborhoods.

Property tax and financing considerations

Denver's effective property tax rate of roughly 0.45%–0.55% still translates into a substantial annual bill at Hilltop price points. Jumbo financing is standard here, and buyers purchasing teardown or major-renovation properties often need to coordinate construction or renovation financing alongside their primary mortgage.

Financing a Home in Hilltop

Hilltop's price points put nearly every purchase into jumbo territory, and larger reserve requirements are common. Buyers planning a renovation or rebuild should loop in financing early, since construction and renovation loans work differently from a standard purchase mortgage.
