Okay, so we get really particular in Denver about which neighborhood is in which section of town. We pride ourselves in living in “the” neighborhood. For me and my family, it’s Harkness Heights.
Harkness Heights is one of 14 neighborhoods that make up the area called Highlands. And that we are-one of the highest points in the city.
Harkness Heights has bout 320 households and stretches from Lowell on the west to Federal on the east and from 44th on the north to 41st on the south.
If I must say so myself, it’s one of the nicer Highlands neighborhoods. We can walk to alot of “trendy” places, many of us remembering those locations before they were “in.”
Now buying into this neighborhood takes a bit of money. After all when you are in, you are desirable and expensive. So many of us know that if we weren’t already in this neighborhood we would not be able to buy into it now!
But what makes this neighborhood special are the people. We have our own muffin lady who delivers muffins to all the new residents. Hey, we take gold when it comes to community and our muffin lady deserves to keep the medal in her livingroom!
No we’re not a Washington Park or a Bonnie Brae, but we know what we have and we like being under the radar, for the moment.
