In the late 1800s, a local farmer took it upon himself to build a wide boulevard and bridge across Cherry Creek so he could sell produce in the city of Denver. Ever since this time, real estate in Washington Park has been a hot commodity. Once a land of farms, truck gardens and saloons, this historic district (just south of downtown Denver) is now the perfect mix of mature tree lined streets, friendly neighborhoods and local shops. Built around the vibrant Washington Park, this neighborhood is still one of the city's most popular places to live.
