Hilltop is a residential neighborhood five miles southeast of downtown Denver.

The name comes from its hilltop location overlooking the rest of Denver.

“The landscaping and houses are beautiful. It's expensive but worth it.” —Natalie, resident

Hilltop was one of the first neighborhoods in Denver to be planned around the car instead of the streetcar.

Most of the houses in Hilltop were individually designed and range from Tudors to ranch-style homes.

The neighborhood has more than 20 different architectural styles.

Oak and elm trees tower over many of Hilltop’s wide streets.

Since the 1990s, many of the original houses have been demolished and replaced with bigger homes.

“It's a quiet, friendly, safe place to live with beautiful houses and mature trees.” —Mary F., resident

Locals run, play with their dogs, and watch Little League games at Crestmoor and Cranmer parks.

“It's perfect for families with kids. It's very safe, and there are very nice people.” —D.U., resident

Hilltop has just a few stores on Holly Street, but neighboring Cherry Creek is a major shopping and dining hub.

D.C. Burns Park, one of four public parks in the neighborhood, is dotted with contemporary sculptures.
