Welcome to Cherry Creek
Once the home of small cottages for many domestic workers, and stately homes for the middle-class, Cherry Creek is now home to many wealthy individuals who enjoy living in large condominium communities. Some small homes still exist and several designated Historic Districts protect some of the older homes from demolition. The area is known for its numerous upscale restaurants and shopping in the Cherry Creek Shopping Center and exclusives Cherry Creek North shops.
Centrally located, its southern border is Cherry Creek, a small stream where gold was found in the mid-1800s, East Sixth Avenue on the north and from Colorado Boulevard to University Boulevard.
Several noted special events are held in the neighborhood, including The Cherry Creek Sneak, a running event held in April, and the Cherry Creek Arts Festival. held the first weekend in July. A paved biking trail rims Cherry Creek and connects to numerous other biking trails in Denver.
