One of Denver's most established, family-oriented neighborhoods, built around its namesake park.
Centered on the 165-acre park it's named for, Washington Park is one of Denver's most established residential neighborhoods, with South Gaylord Street as its walkable commercial spine.
Predominantly detached single-family homes — bungalows, Denver squares and Tudor-style homes — with a smaller number of newer infill homes and low-rise condos near the retail corridor.
Family-oriented and quiet relative to its central location, with strong long-term appreciation and consistent demand from buyers who want park access and top schools.
The Cherry Creek Trail connects the park directly to Cherry Creek North and downtown by bike; South Pearl Street's farmers market and shops sit just to the west.
Uncommon on detached single-family homes; more common on the newer condo and townhome developments near the retail corridor.
Recent reporting shows single-family home prices commonly in the $1.1 million to $2 million range, with meaningful variation based on proximity to the park itself, lot size and condition. This sits well above the Denver metro median, which has recently run closer to $600,000–$650,000.
Property tax here follows Denver's citywide effective rate of roughly 0.45%–0.55%, though a higher home value naturally means a higher dollar amount. At the neighborhood's typical price points, many buyers land in jumbo territory, and older homes sometimes surface financing wrinkles around permits on additions or ADUs — worth flagging to your lender and inspector early.
Washington Park's price points often call for jumbo financing, and older housing stock means lenders may ask more questions about permitted additions, garages converted to living space, or older electrical and plumbing systems. Buyers should budget appraisal and inspection time accordingly.
