    "Beautiful established neighborhoods with stately homes, towering trees, quiet streets -- yet close to so many amenities: Sprouts, King Soopers, Petsmart, Ulta, Marshalls. So many high quality, many independently owned, restaurants within walking distance. Observatory Park with it's expansive playing fields, the Observatory, nice tennis courts, playground, benches, and massive trees that provide excellent shade in the summer. Besides Observatory Park, there are several other parks easily within walking or bike riding distance. DU is very close by as well as Porter and Swedish Medical Centers. There is a YMCA on S. Colorado Blvd that is also a "trailhead" of sorts to a great walking / bike riding path along a gulch."

    "I can't imagine what they wouldn't like. It is very dog-friendly. There are so many people walking dogs in the morning and late afternoon. A lot of shade for the dogs in the summer, and great parks. There are several trash cans along the way as well as in the parks to dispose of the waste bags."

    "Close enough to I-25 for easy access; as well as within 10 minutes of the Colorado Station to catch the rail for a quick, easy trip to anywhere you wish to go around the metro or to DIA. A bit of traffic but easy enough to get around. Get to know the side roads, but PLEASE - note that most speed limits through there are 25 mph. That is because it's residential, but also in this neighborhood, there are a lot of people that walk their dogs, walk and ride bikes with their children, older people that are cautious."

    "This is an amazing neighborhood with well maintained ranch homes on large lots, that afford wonderful privacy. Yet the neighborhood vibe is friendly, very walkable and diverse. There are families with young kids and 90-plus year olds who do not want to leave the area."

    "Wellshire is the best neighborhood in Denver for kids. Top rated Slavens School, big lots, little traffic since the golf course is the southern boundary. No buses, beer trucks, cars coming and going to a recreation center. No controlled parking so you guests can park in front of your house without having to worry about getting a ticket. 5 minutes to light rail. 3 major hospitals are less than 10 minutes away. Denver's premier country club is 5 minutes away. 7 of Denver's best private schools are less than 10 minutes away. "
