Built in the early 1950s on the triangular parcel defined by Colorado Boulevard, I-25, and Hampden Avenue, University Hills has spent more than seven decades proving that a well-built post-war neighborhood ages beautifully. Ranch homes with generous backyards sit on tree-lined streets where the original neighborhood trees have had time to grow tall and wide, lending a settled, leafy character that newer developments spend decades trying to replicate and rarely achieve with the same organic warmth.
Mamie D. Eisenhower Park and the accompanying recreation center provide community gathering space and athletic amenities that serve residents of all ages, while the Ross-University Hills Library is a neighborhood institution. The High Line Canal trails extend the neighborhood’s recreational reach considerably beyond its borders, and the Yale Light Rail Station makes downtown Denver accessible in minutes without navigating traffic. University Hills Plaza handles everyday shopping and dining needs. With 138 homes closing at an average of $743,213 in 2024, University Hills offers a compelling combination of quality construction, commuter convenience, and the quiet permanence of a neighborhood that knows exactly what it is.
