Cherry Hills Village is an affluent suburb located just south of Denver. It was named for the cherry tree groves that lined the original town site. Commercial development was rejected in what is now a 6.5-square-mile residential community with over 6,400 residents and is bordered by Hampden Avenue on the north, Belleview Avenue on the south, a combination of Dahlia, Happy Canyon Road and South Monaco on the east, and Clarkson Street to the west.
This area attracts those looking for more land and space. Homeowners love the countryside feel, while staying within close proximity to downtown Denver, the mountains, Cherry Creek, and the Denver Tech Center (DTC). Some choose to live here because the public schools are in the Cherry Creek School District and considered among the best in the state. It also has two of Colorado's oldest private schools, Kent Denver and St. Mary's Academy.
Cherry Hills Village channels the Colorado outdoor lifestyle, with part of the 71-mile High Line Canal hiking trail winding thru the neighborhood, expansive views of the mountains, equestrian centers, and scenic parks with fishing, lakes and ponds. It is also home to Cherry Hills Country Club, which has hosted two PGA Championships, and Glenmoor Country Club. This combination makes it one of the most coveted neighborhoods among luxury buyers.
