Location

Located to the east of the University of Denver (DU), University Park is a centrally located neighborhood just south of Interstate 25 and west of South Colorado Boulevard. The following reasons make this community one of the hottest Denver neighborhood:

GREAT HOMES. The homes in University Park are almost exclusively single-family ranches, but newly constructed neo-eclectics are becoming increasingly common.
CENTRAL LOCATION. University Park has direct access to I-25 and enjoys the recent progress of movie theaters, organic markets, and sportswear outlets on the Colorado Boulevard corridor.
PARKS - The mature-tree-lined Observatory Park, named for the Romanesque Chamberlin Observatory, is a haven for rugby games, basketball players, tennis gurus, stroller-gripping mothers, and picnickers.
GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD The neighborhood is a storybook setting of an upscale Denver neighborhood.

Nearby Attractions:

The University of Denver. Founded in 1864, DU is a private institution known for giving its students a unique blend of urban living combined with traditional education.

Nearby University Park is Observatory Park, which is home to an 1894 Alvan Clark-Saegmuller 20-inch refracting telescope. The observatory is maintained and operated by DU, where residents are able to participate in twice-weekly observing nights and monthly open house star-gazing nights sponsored by the Denver Astronomical Society.

NEARBY RESTAURANTS:

The neighborhood is also home to eclectic eateries, local coffee shops, dive bars, and of course, a brewery.

La Belle Rosette, a family-operated coffeehouse at 2423 S. University Blvd. is a great little spot to sit back with a book and some espresso.
Crimson and Gold Tavern and The Pioneer Bar, both lower-cost college-kid-friendly bars, also offer options for late-night/early-evening drinking.
Another local Denver coffee roasting company, Kaladi Brothers, boasts air-roasted beans and a funky atmosphere to study or read a book.
Another spot to check out it Fermaentra Brewery at 1715 Evans Ave., which offers unique brews like its Rozzer, a Southern English Brown, and Redolent, a crisp Belgian Blonde. Fermaentra is also known to have a different food truck parked outside for pretty much every day of the week.
Asbury Provisions offers craft beer and cocktail menu in the evenings.

University Park offers a slew of nearby coffee bars like Bruegger’s Bagels. There are also plenty of dining options like The Mustard House, The Ramen House and more. Bars and late-night venues include Crimson and Gold Tavern, the DU sports fan bar, Quixote’s True Blue
