Cherry Hills Village is one of the most prestigious places to live in Colorado: large estate lots, a country-club setting and a quiet, almost rural feel just minutes south of Denver. Here’s what to know about living in Cherry Hills Village.
Location
Cherry Hills Village is a small city in Arapahoe County, just south of Denver, with about 6,400 residents (2020 census) spread across roughly six square miles. It borders Englewood and Greenwood Village, so shopping, dining and the Denver Tech Center are close by, along with quick access to downtown Denver.
Homes and lots
The city is known for large lots, many an acre or more, with custom homes, estates and equestrian properties set among mature trees. There’s very little commercial development, which helps keep the village quiet and private. Inventory is limited, so well-priced homes can attract strong interest even in a slower market.
Golf and lifestyle
Cherry Hills Country Club has hosted three U.S. Opens (1938, 1960 and 1978), two PGA Championships and several U.S. Amateurs. The High Line Canal Trail winds through the village, and residents enjoy walking, biking and horseback riding on the city’s trail system.
Schools
Most of Cherry Hills Village is in the Cherry Creek School District, with portions in Englewood Schools. Well-known private schools in the city include Kent Denver School and St. Mary’s Academy. Always confirm school boundaries for a specific address.
Things to consider when buying
- Zoning and building rules can affect additions, new construction and outbuildings. Check with the city early if you plan to renovate or rebuild.
- Older estates may need significant updates. Budget for inspections of the roof, sewer, HVAC and any pools or outbuildings.
- Privacy matters. Many sellers prefer discreet marketing. Ask about off-market and coming-soon opportunities.
