Living in Cap Hill
Home of the iconic Cheesman Park (psst… did you know it used to be a cemetery? More on that later), Cap Hill, more formally known as Capitol Hill, is one of Denver’s most notorious neighborhoods. With tree-lined streets and historic homes, Cap Hill is quaint, charming, and home to many of Denver’s creative & alternative professionals. Known to be an inclusive spot for all, Cap Hill features urban access, while still offering a neighborhood feel. With community at the heart of everything, in Cap Hill you can find yourself exploring restaurants like City o City with friends, taking a ghost tour around the neighborhood with strangers, or even taking a yoga class at the Denver Botanic Gardens to connect with our native Denver flora. Alternatively, find yourself supporting local when you shop on Colfax at hot spots like Good Bread, Lula Rose General Store, or the iconic, pink-boxed Voodoo Donuts. However, it wouldn’t be a day in Cap Hill without hitting an iconic dive bar like The Squire or say The P.S. Lounge, to round off the night. Where else are you going to get an $8 beer shot combo in the city??
