Cheesman Park Homes in Denver, Colorado

Cheesman Park is one of the oldest and most historic neighborhoods of Denver. It hosts the Humboldt Street Historic District or Humboldt Island on its west side. Homes in this historic residential district include stately mansions of varying architectural styles: Renaissance Revival, Georgian Revival, Colonial Revival as well as simple Denver Squares. 

There are condos, lofts in traditional-style four- and five-story apartment buildings, chic townhomes, and tasteful high-rise apartments with spectacular views. Cheesman Gardens, one of Denver’s finest elegant residential high-rise bldgs., sits on the western boundary of Cheesman Park amid the city’s impressive historic mansions on Humboldt Island.

The Cheesman Park neighborhood features tree-lined streets and wide sidewalks that lead to the 80-acre park for which this coveted Denver enclave takes its name. Some homes overlook the sprawling park and some even have views of Downtown Denver and the Rocky Mountain Range. 

Back in 1800s, Cheeseman Park was a cemetery. By the late 1880s, the cemetery was rarely used and in great disrepair. The US Congress permitted to change it to a park. So graves had been relocated, burials suspended, and plans for a beautiful park were in development. Named for water baron Walter S. Cheeseman, who donated the park’s pavilion in 1910, this neighborhood includes the area between northbound Josephine, the renowned Colfax, 8th Avenue, and Corona.

5 Star Zillow Review


Barry was fantastic to work with when purchasing my home. I was a first-time homebuyer, and Barry walked me through the process and was very patient with me. He was very proactive in trying to find me the right home given my budget with zero pressure. He ended up finding me a great home for a  great deal before it was even on the market. Even after closing, Barry has been available to help answer questions. Read more... - Sean Jason
