Live in Bustling Capitol Hill/Speer

High-rises, stately old houses and venerable apartment buildings converted to condos make Capitol Hill/Speer one of the most densely populated and active neighborhoods in Denver. Bounded by Colfax, Broadway, 6th Avenue and Downing, this compact and pedestrian-friendly neighborhood features homes in almost every price range as well as grocery stores, restaurants, shops, coffeehouses, popular music venues, the Vance Kirkland Museum and nine designated historic districts. Cheesman Park and Civic Center Park are within walking distance. The gold-domed Colorado State Capitol, which gives the area its name, stands at Colfax Avenue and Lincoln Street.
