Cherry Hills Village
I raised my daughters, and now Realtor partners, in Cherry Hills. Many people in Denver consider this to be the apex of luxury real estate. Because, some of the best custom home builders have created one-of-a-king masterpieces here. And, folks moving to Denver have often heard about the picturesque neighborhoods ranging from huge trees in Old Cherry Hills to New Custom homes scatted though out the Village.
There are also newer homes in Buell Mansion, Cherry Hills Park and Covington. Cherry Hills Village is a Denver suburb located conveniently. It’s 10 minutes to the Denver Tech Center and 20 minutes commute to downtown Denver. Public and private schools are highly rated. It is located int he Cherry Creek school district. Cherry Hills Village elementary is among the top in the state. West middle school won a Blue Ribbon national award for outstanding school and Cherry Creek High School is nationally rated. Kent Denver is an outstanding private school serving grades 7-12. Ironically, it is actually located in Cherry Hills.
Luxury homes generally sell for $1.5m to $10m. More affordable neighborhoods include Mansfield Heights, Cherry Hills North, Southmoor Vista and Cherry Hills East. Homes there are mostly ranch homes built in the 1960’s and 1970’s. The are generally on 1/2 to 1 acre and can sell for under $2m. Newer and larger homes in those neighborhoods can sell for up to $3.5m. Police protection is excellent here. There is a city hall for Village services including its own water district. But, here is no actual downtown village area for shopping. Cherry Crest Shopping Center is a strip mall with some stores. Trader Joe’s is located across the street along with more stores including T.J. Maxx.
Greenwood Village
Greenwood Village is also a Denver suburb and is located next door to Cherry Hills. It also offerings luxury homes in the form of horse properties and lovely subdivisions. It is also home to the Denver Tech Center, Denver’s other downtown with as much office space as Downtown Denver. The light rail runs through the middle of Greenwood Village offering a convenient commute downtown. The I-25 corridor also runs on the same right of way into Downtown Denver. Still, the luxury communities are quiet and isolated from the DTC.
The Preserve is a planned luxury community here. There are also many smaller and older subdivisions. In addition, there are some “in-fills” where an existing homes was scrapped off its foundation and a new built between older homes. That is common in Greenwood Hills with brand new homes nestled between homes built in the 1960’s and 1970’s. Police protection is excellent. Half of Greenwood Village is located in the Cherry Creek School District. The other half is in the Littleton schools. There are also private schools here.
Cherry Creek Shopping Mall

Downtown living at chic Cherry Creek includes walking to shopping, restaurants and art galleries galleries.
The mall is in the city of Denver. So, while some schools are good, many are not as highly rated as the suburban schools. So, few children live in this area. It is very popular with empty-nesters who have moved into the city from the suburbs. In addition to a world-class mall, this boutique area offers many luxury home options. The fashionable Cherry Creek North area has art studios, restaurants and coffee shops all within an easy walk to some of the most expensive housing in Denver.
Luxurious townhomes predominate. But, new luxury condos and some single-family homes are here too. Historic single-family homes are right next door in the Denver Country Club area. And nearby Hilltop offers less pricey single-family homes. Many of those are under $2m.

Many custom home builders are represented by Realtors. Certainly, a Realtor can recommend good builders and help find suitable building lots.
