Adjacent to Capitol Hill, Cherry Creek, Washington Park and Polo Club, the Country Club neighborhood has integrated aspects of all four areas. With the ultra-exclusive Denver Country Club at its core, the 165-acre Wash Park to the south and Cheesman/Congress Parks to the north, this neighborhood has access to two crushed granite jogging paths, 54 flamboyant flower beds, a kids’ fishing pond, basketball court, golf course, outdoor swimming pool, sixteen tennis courts, three playgrounds, two softball fields, soccer fields and a paved bike path. With all that green it's amazing there's space for the abundance of retail in and around the Country Club neighborhood.
Taking cues from both Cap Hill and Wash Park, pockets of retail hotspots grace Downing, 6th, University and Alameda including the pedal-friendly Handle Bar and Grill, The Wag Shop doggy boutique and a centrally located Safeway grocery. Also, there's no point in Country Club that's more than a bike ride away from the Cherry Creek Shopping Center or historic South Gaylord Street in Wash Park. Additionally, 6th and Alameda are major thoroughfares leading to I-25.
The only construction happening in the Country Club real estate market is around the perimeter. The mega-mansion core is spreading outward, with single-family mansions popping up around the older bungalows, Victorians and Denver squares. While there’s a decent amount of construction it all seems to be single-family with no new retail, commercial or mixed use.
