This week we are looking in East Denver at the Capitol Hill neighborhood surrounded by Broadway, Downing, and Colfax. Considered one of the most diverse and eclectic neighborhoods in Denver, Cap Hill is composed of many older properties and buildings built as far back as the 1920’s, and all of them carry their own individual charm. Rated 10th in the nation for the most beautiful neighborhoods to live in by Thrillist, it is nearly impossible to walk around the neighborhood and not see beauty and charismatic features at every turn. With such areas as “Poet’s Row” and “Millionaire’s Row” found in this area, it is no surprise many people find themselves looking at properties in Cap Hill.
On one side of the neighborhood you can find the beautiful Cheesman Park, a great place to go for a run or take the family on a picnic. On the opposite side, you find yourself in the midst of urban living with the Denver Art Museum, the State Capitol, Civic Center Park, and the Denver Public Library. With restaurants galore throughout the neighborhood, any foodie can find a little haven in the Cap Hill area. And if you are not quite a foodie yet, don’t worry, after living in the neighborhood you will be soon enough. 
Capitol Hill has been seeing a lot of redevelopment to increase housing density and now boasts being one of the most pedestrian and bicycle friendly neighborhoods in Denver. If you drive through the neighborhood now you will notice just how many apartments and houses have had a little facelift in the past couple of years while still keeping that deco-styled feel. Apartments and houses go very fast in this neighborhood with many houses having a good dozen bids put on them. No need to get discouraged, though—that is exactly what our agents at New Era Group are here for. If this is your ideal neighborhood, then give one of our agents a call today and let us help you find the perfect home.
Head up towards 32nd and Lowell and you will find yourself in one of the liveliest spots in Denver. Known as Highlands Square, this area always has something going on. From the fashionable boutiques to the ever-busy restaurants, the only thing that can be tough is parking--but hey, that’s a lot of Denver right? Don’t forget to check out the local farmers market on the weekend, sure to sit right with the foodie in your life. You can easily get to and from downtown using one of the beautiful bridges crossing over the highway, such as the Denver Millennium Bridge or the Platte River Bridge. 
your back yard, which means access to 330 acres of running trails, playgrounds, and the golf course. If you are feeling like a little more of an adventure, the Denver Zoo and the Denver Museum of Nature and Science are an easy walk or bike ride down the street. This neighborhood is also right down the street from the Uptown neighborhood, which is known for its selection of fine restaurants and bars. Don’t forget in the summer you will only need to walk a few minutes to enjoy City Park’s Jazz in the Park concert series—no need to worry about the hassle of parking!
We know it can be tricky to keep track of all the neighborhoods in Denver and most people want to 
As the oldest independent university in the Front Range, the University of Denver has remained committed to education, and the Carnegie Foundation has marked it with the prestigious classification as a “high research activity” university. Opened in 2013, DU’s main library is in an energy-efficient services hub. The Anderson Academic Commons isn’t the only revolutionary, state-of-the-art research facility. In fact, the University of Denver has added 20 new residential, administrative, and academic buildings since 1997! Just last October the Daniel Felix Ritchie School of Engineering and Computer Science opened on the Denver campus.
With acres of parks, miles of paths, and such perfect weather it’s hard not to be in shape.
That is the elephant in the room isn’t it? For many of us, there are times when working out isn’t fun, or we just don’t have time. In a city with so many opportunities to be fit we need to be taking advantage of them. You don’t have to go to a gym full of the finest physical specimens of the world, or give up that occasional ice cream cone. Living healthy in Denver is easy.
Take empty, and clean, paint cans and mount them to wall. Not only can you hang a coat on them but you can put your scarf, gloves, and hat inside. 
There is nothing worse than getting home from a great day on the slopes and having to lug all your equipment up and down the stairs to the storage locker or to offsite storage. While many stores sell conventional ski racks, it is also fun to have something that is a little more fun. Enter once again the mighty paint can. Hang them close enough together to allow the skis or snowboard to fit neatly in between. To keep from damaging the floor, you can also get carpet squares or multi colored dishwashing trays to trap the melting snow.
Living in a Denver loft provides urban metro citizens the freedom to explore the city, enjoy Colorado’s natural environment, and experience some of the best nightlife of any city in the world. Living close to work means short commutes, less hassles, and the ability to get anywhere quickly. However, this enjoyment of life can often lessen the time available for cooking and planning family meals. Enter the amazing crock pot.
While more modern lofts have increased the size of kitchen space, many of the traditional warehouse lofts still struggle. This is actually one of the alluring qualities of loft living, because it opens up the home. The slow cooker is one of the loft owner’s best friends. Not only does it take up a small amount of space, but there isn’t a need for multiple pots and frying pans when making a meal. In fact, the set it and forget nature of the meal, makes it easy to return home from work to a perfectly cooked meal without all the hassles.
Although I’m not ordinarily a jealous man, there are times when I’m walking through houses with a home buyer and I become overwhelmingly envious of the closet. It still amazes me to this day how crucial and life-giving this space is in the home.
By now it is quite apparent how important closet space is to home buyers, and the people walking through your house are no exception. (Trust me, they will look in your closets.) Your goal is to make them look as big as possible without spending a fortune. The first goal is to remove any extra items you don’t need. Take boxes to the garage or a storage unit to free up space. It is also wise to remove clothing you don’t wear often to make it look more open. Just be careful not to overdo it.
