THE ESSENTIALS

Cherry Creek North is centrally located in Denver and has the city's highest concentration of premier, locally-owned stores, five boutique hotels, 65 restaurants, art galleries, fashion boutiques, home furnishings stores, and a multitude of spas, salons, and fitness studios nestled along charming tree-lined streets.

Often called the "Beverly Hills of Colorado," this 16-block district north of 1st Avenue is where sophisticated urban living meets walkable charm. Local office buildings keep these blocks bustling throughout the work week - including my Compass office at 200 Columbine Street. The neighborhood is also home to the Ross-Cherry Creek branch of the Denver Public Library, quaint parks like Manley and Pulaski, Bromwell Elementary School, and the bikeable Cherry Creek Trail, which winds its way directly downtown.

 

WHAT IS CHERRY CREEK NORTH?

Cherry Creek North refers to the 16-block district north of 1st Avenue - Denver's premier concentration of locally-owned boutiques, art galleries, restaurants, and luxury living. Often called the "Beverly Hills of Colorado," this walkable enclave is where sophisticated urban lifestyle meets tree-lined charm.

What sets Cherry Creek North apart:
  • Locally-owned boutiques and restaurants over national chains
  • 40+ art galleries (one of Denver's premier art districts)
  • Walkable street grid with sidewalk cafes and tree-lined blocks
  • Low-rise elegance - no high-rises, just boutique condos and townhomes
  • Mix of luxury living and commercial vitality
  • Cherry Creek Arts Festival (one of the nation's top juried art shows) held here annually
ARCHITECTURE & HOUSING:

You'll find modern luxury townhomes, sleek condos with rooftop pools, and a limited number of traditional ranch-style properties (increasingly rare given recent development). Prices range from $300K for a one-bedroom condo to $15M+ for ultra-luxury properties.

THE LIFESTYLE:

Walk to Aviano Coffee in the morning, browse galleries at lunch, dine at Le Colonial for dinner, and be home in minutes. This is urban living with breathing room - sophisticated without stuffiness, walkable without density, and cultured without pretension.

Cherry Creek North attracts professionals who walk to work, empty nesters who want luxury without yard maintenance, young professionals valuing walkability and dining, relocators from NYC/LA/SF seeking urban living without high-rise density, and design-conscious buyers drawn to the gallery district and architecture.

EAT + DRINK

Cherry Creek North culinary scene has evolved exponentially in recent years with additions like Le Colonial, Alteño, Mar Bella Boqueria,  Le Bilboquet, Toro, Quality Italian, Matsuhisa, and Salt Water Social. There are solid, older establishments like the french bistro La Merise or some fine Indian dining at Mehak Denver. For steakhouse, there is Broadway 10 - dubbed B10 - known for wood-fired steaks cut in-house, sushi prepared to order, and craft cocktails.

For more casual dining, you'll find True Food Kitchen, Flower Child, Cherry Cricket, SOL Mexican Cucina, Fortune Wok To Table, or Sweet Green, Hapa Sushi, Chipotle, and Urban Egg.

Other lunch establishments such as Cherry Creek GrillHillstone, North, Narrative, and Cucina Colore. No time for a sitdown lunch? Grab and go from Mendocino Farms or grab a hotdog from Rubinchik, affectionately called "Henry The Hotdog Man". You can find him under his blue + yellow umbrella on Milwaukee & 3rd Ave.

Caffeinate at the ever popular Aviano Coffee (with 2 locations - Detroit St & 2nd Ave.) or Ku Cha House of Tea, which sells more than 170 varieties.

For happy hour, try the latest Bar Amorina, which offers a chic pink aesthetic with modern vibe and inventive cocktails or Forget Me Not which offers creative cocktails both indoors and al fresco. Text for reservations to B&GC, an upscale, underground speakeasy bar in a cozy space. Or try the trendy-but-relaxed Local Jones and low-key Milwaukee Street Tavern.

SHOP

There is plenty of shopping for everyone starting with the recent addition of Jenni Kayne, Rag & Bone, and Veronica Beard. Other women's clothing boutiques include Garbarini, Covered, Perch, Haven, Denver Darling, St. John, A Line Boutique, Lawrence Cavell (both men + women).
