Hilltop sits just east of Cherry Creek and is one of Denver’s most established luxury neighborhoods. Wide, quiet streets, generous lots and a mix of classic and brand-new custom homes give it a calm, residential feel, while Cherry Creek North’s shops and restaurants are only minutes away.
Where is Hilltop?
Hilltop sits east of Colorado Boulevard, roughly between 6th Avenue to the north and Alameda Avenue to the south, with Cherry Creek to the west and Lowry to the northeast. Its central location makes it easy to reach downtown, the Denver Tech Center and the mountains via I-25 and 6th Avenue.
Homes in Hilltop
- Mid-century ranches and two-stories on large lots, many updated or expanded.
- New custom builds, as older homes on big lots are rebuilt into modern estates.
- Traditional brick and Tudor-style homes on mature, tree-lined blocks.
Lot size, location within the neighborhood and whether a home is original, remodeled or new construction all drive value, so pricing in Hilltop is very property-specific.
Parks and lifestyle
Cranmer Park is the heart of Hilltop, known for its sundial and sweeping views of the Front Range. Neighbors walk dogs, picnic and sled here in winter. Cherry Creek North, the Cherry Creek Trail and the shops of Lowry Town Center are all close by.
Schools
Hilltop is served by Denver Public Schools, and several well-known private schools are nearby. Always confirm school boundaries for a specific address with the district, since they can change.
Tips for buyers
- Look at the lot, not just the house. Many buyers here are paying for the land and location.
- Check zoning and building plans if you are thinking about remodeling or rebuilding.
- Get a sewer scope and roof inspection on older homes.
Tips for sellers
- Price against true comparables. A remodeled original home and a new build on the same street can be worlds apart.
- Market the lot and location to both families and builders when it makes sense.
- Invest in professional photography and video to show the space and views.
