    "Cap Hill is beautiful. Historic buildings, close to Broadway and Colfax for restaurants and nights out. Close to Cherry Creek trail. Overall, I feel safe walking my dog during the day. So many beautiful trees and homes to look at walking through the neighborhood! "

    "Love Cap Hill. A great place for younger couples and families looking for a quieter spot. Good access to amenities while still being quaint with charm and greenery. No high rise asphalt dead zones around here. "

    "The proximity of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and fun, local businesses. You trade fun things to do for space. It’s hard to find larger apartments/homes to rent. "

    "The location is great, not too close, not too far from downtown, and near all the sights, It's a real neighborhood, very walkable with shops and stores nearby. I think my favorite thing about it is the charm, i love to walk around and look at the unique turn of the century buildings on the tree-lined streets."

    "I typically bike or walk, I work a 3 min drive away but downtown doesn’t have a lot of parking. Bike lanes are fairly easy to come by if you know the right streets, and walking is easy if you avoid colfax."

    "Easy commute most places, I would like more specified bike lanes however. Right now some are just shared lanes which can always be improved by a whole separate lane. "

    "This is not a family-friendly neighborhood. Most people I see out and about as well as those in my building are young, single party-types. That was me up until a few months ago when I found out I was pregnant. I will be moving west to the foothills/suburbia in August to foster a safer, happier life and future for my baby. Overall, denver/cap hill is just too loud, busy, and congested."

    "Not a super kid friendly area. Better for young adults to established empty nesters. there is a very nice large park in the area. Lots of nice buildings and apartments but little parking space off-street and very few places with yards. "
