Homes in Whittier, CO

Just north-east of downtown and bordered on the east by Downing Street, the west by York Street, the south by 23rd Avenue and the north by Martin Luther King Boulevard, Whittier is defined architecturally by older Victorian homes, Denver squares and bungalows. Although largely single-family, the neighborhood is home to a good number of flat-roofed row houses, bungalow duplexes and ranch-style apartments. Also noteworthy is the larger-than-average number of Dutch colonials that grace almost every block.

Aesthetically, the streets are wide and separated from the sidewalks by thick plots of grass. Large mature trees define many front yards. Overall, Whittier seems like a neighborhood that is experiencing the early stages of the architectural renaissance currently taking place in Curtis Park. Homes for sale in Whittier are listed with zip code 80205.

Whittier is home to many small parks that include Dr. Daniel Hale Williams Park, Frederick Douglass Park, George Sr Morrison Park and Fuller Park. Although none are as large or diverse as neighboring City Park, with a total of two basketball courts, three playgrounds and a dog park they’re great for picnics, exercising the kids or running the dog.

For a little more diversity try the 320-acre heaven of City Park, which  has two lakes, the Denver Zoo, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, a large wood and sand playground, tennis courts and sporting fields.

Although there’s not a lot of Main Street-type retail, Whittier is centrally located and has a Light Rail station on the corner of Downing and Welton that’s a direct link to downtown. Also, with neighbors like Curtis Park, Five Points and Uptown there’s access to everything from the American-contemporary cuisine of Steuben’s to historic Welton Street where Charlie Parker and Billie Holiday haunt the Rossonian Hotel and modern-day musicians stake their claims at Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom. To the south, Colfax Avenue and to the west, Colorado Boulevard are both major thoroughfares leading to I-25, I-70 or both.

Although Whittier real estate seems up-and-coming, it’s not yet experiencing the boom of neighboring Curtis Park and Five Points.
