Bordered by Severn Avenue on the North, Alameda Avenue on the South, Colorado Boulevard on the West and Monaco Parkway on the East (Holly Street serves as the dividing line between the two communities with Hilltop to the West and Crestmoor to the East), Hilltop-Crestmoor features everything from traditional English tudors to custom 50’s style ranch homes to Contemporary multi-levels to million dollar Mansions both old and new! The Cranmer Mansion – a spectacular Mediteranean renaissance home designed by Jacques Benedict – is a Hilltop Landmark and sits at the highest point with the best mountain view in Hilltop. The Cranmer mansion has been granted Historic Landmark Designation.
The Joshel House – 220 South Dahlia St.
The Josel House – a small white brick one-story house – demonstrates the characteristics of the late, post World War II International style developed by architect Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe. The Josel House has Denver landmark status and is one of only a handful of residences in the nation on the National Historic Register for Historic Places.
The Chin House – 245 Eudora St.
The Chin House – a newly constructed estate style Tudor home – features the charm & character of yesterday while also providing the luxury of today’s coveniences. Built by The Iris Building Group (three brothers born & raised in Hilltop and committed to preserving the architectural integrity of the neighborhood) this beautiful new home demonstrates current market trends in Hilltop-Crestmoor.
Hillcrest Village
The addition of Hillcrest Village, an exclusive, 3 story brick traditional condominium residence surrounded by trendy cafes, specialty retail shops and European ambience completes the neighborhood.
Cranmer Park
Three parks grace the area: Cranmer Park, Robinson Park and Crestmoor Park. Cranmer Park (A 23 acre park originally known as Inspiration Park in 1909, officially named Mountain View Park in 1923 and then renamed Cranmer Park in 1959)was built in with a spectacular inner city view of the Front Range and includes a 200 ft long flagstone viewing platform with the names, altitudes and an outline of prominent peaks etched in stone, overlooking the mountain skyline. A seven-and-a-half foot slab Sundial was later added to the Park and a local ordinance ensures that nothing will ever block the West views of the park.
Robinson Park
Built in 1950 (formerly the old Robinson Brickyard), these two blocks of inviting green open space feature a well-kept playground and offer a popular site for picnics, volleyball, softball, football & soccer games. This park however, is in all its glory after a snowstorm when children (of all ages!) flock to the north-facing slope(carved out of digging clay for the brickyard)dragging sleds, snow boards, saucers, plastic bags, toboggans, parents and friends for an afternoon of winter sports.
Crestmoor Park
This wonderful neighborhood park features several soccer & softball fields, public tennis courts, serene picnic areas and a peaceful walking/jogging path that circles the park. With its architectural charm & diversity, its beautiful neighborhood parks, fine neighborhood schools, close proximity to downtown Denver and the Cherry Creek Shopping District as well as its wonderful community lifestyle, it’s easy to see why Hilltop-Crestmoor is considered to be one of the most sought-after communities in the Denver area.
