Exposition, Mississippi, South Steele and University are the streets that have hemmed in Bonnie Brae, the name of the neighborhood that means “Pleasant Hill” in Gaelic, since the 1920s. Among its curvy streets, reminiscent of the Scottish villages that inspired them, is circular central park, and an atmosphere as charming as its real estate. Born in the roaring ’20s, Bonnie Brae enjoyed an initial growth spurt, followed by some stunted growth until the mid-’30s, when the development of Ellipse Park gave home builders and buyers their second wind. The neighborhood is a living, 3-D hieroglyphic of Denver’s own coming of age story, with some of the most interesting architecture in the city, including some well-known examples of International and Art Modern styles, as well as Cape Cod, English Tudor, and ranch-style homes.Today, Bonnie Brae is an old neighborhood with new blood. The Bonnie Brae Tavern on South University, open since 1934, is just a brisk walk from a sushi bar. One of my favorite Italian restaurants is the Saucy Noodle Ristorante, The median age in Bonnie Brae is 37, making for a comfortable social scene for just about everyone. If you’re a college student you would feel right at home at the Campus Lounge.But if Bonnie Brae is one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Denver for what’s in it, what’s around it seals the deal. What’s around it? Just about everything. The Cherry Creek Mall and Washington Park are just a quick drive or bike ride away, as is the Denver Country Club and the amenities that scale the distance between parks and recreation and fine dining. The median home price in Bonnie Brae is in the mid- to upper-700s, a steal compared to sister neighborhoods Country Club and Polo Club. Its proximity to Colorado Boulevard makes reaching I-25 a breeze–without the fishbowl effect that too often accompanies neighborhoods with lickety-split access to major highways. And get a load of the views.
Take a spin by www.discovercoloradorealestate.com and let’s look for homes in Bonnie Brae, making sure to take our time, enjoy the strip with an ice cream sundae, a bistro lunch, or a picnic in the park, and soak up the pleasantries of
Denver’s queen of the hill.
