Shoveling the snow and sticking around

Athmar Park is only about 6 miles to Downtown Denver, but feels like a true neighborhood. “It’s a family-friendly, diverse, quaint, community united area,” says Jennifer Zeller. “I love my area.” During Colorado snowstorms, volunteers around the neighborhood will shovel walks for the elderly. There will be weekly yoga and runs together, while a walk to pick up a car from the auto shop will result in multiple ride offers and a pit stop at a neighbors house. “I like how everyone sticks around,” says Zeller. “Most people have lived here since the day the building was built.” When someone new moves in, it’s likely due to the proximity of downtown Denver. There are also four Christian churches within the neighborhood.

Ranch and bungalow, sometimes with renovations

Homes throughout the neighborhood are mostly ranch or bungalows, although a few Tudor Revivals and new traditional homes can be found as well. Unlike most Denver neighborhoods, Athmar Park has some winding roads in addition to the carefully laid out lots, with most homes built in the 1940s and 50s, although some older 1900 homes can also be found throughout. Most roads also have alley access, with garages scattered along the alleys. Athmar Park has a median price of $484,500 for homes, with most ranch and bungalow homes beginning around $350,000 and reaching $550,000. Some homes have undergone renovations, upping the prices to $650,000. Tudor Revival homes can begin around $520,000 and reach $720,000, while a new traditional home can sell for about $600,000. While many homes have shiplap exteriors, brick is also a common look throughout. Some homes have painted the bricks white to stand out, usually matching interior renovations. Athmar Park receives a crime score of 4 from the CAP Index.

Grab tacos at Tarascos and then drinks at the Chain Reaction Brewing Company or the Athmar Lounge. “There are a ton of local businesses,” says Zeller. “There are landscapers left and right, tax people, a tattoo place, all the restaurants and a couple pot shops.” The neighborhood is also home to a Costco and a few strip malls.

Huston Lake with mosaic tables

At Huston Lake Park, the largest park within the neighborhood, residents can walk the mile around the lake with four-legged friends. “You could fit a swimming pool there and still fit everything else,” says Zeller. “You also don’t notice it from any major streets, so it really is a neighborhood park.” Residents can also practice tennis, soccer, baseball or simply enjoy a picnic at one of the three mosaic-covered picnic tables. They commemorate the local neighborhood presbyterian church, one designed by local school children and a view of the mountains from the lake. Clifford Aspgren has the other three mosaic tables, this time with a commemoration of the 1965 South Platte River flood, one about love and a modern design. Aspgren also has a baseball field and sits at the top of a hill. The Johnson-Habitat Park has playgrounds and large structures for children to explore, and is located right next to the South Platte River, as well as the South Platte River Trail. The trail covers 32 miles and stays next to the river.
