Hilltop

Hilltop is home to some 7,500 residents who live in the shadows of beautiful downtown Denver, with its thriving business, shopping and cultural attractions. The Denver metropolitan area is situated where the east meets the west, where the Rocky Mountains begin and the eastern plains end. Only 346 miles west of the geographic center of the United States, Denver and its encompassing communities are accessible to visitors from across the country by plane, train, or automobile. Several major interstate arteries pass through the city and travel by air from most U.S. destinations can be accomplished in less than three hours. Whether it’s the nearby skiing, the vibrant cultural and recreation opportunities, the championship sports teams or the world-class airport, amenities of the Denver metro area make it an ideal place to live, work and raise a family.

When it comes to the weather, balmy, sunny days with cool evenings define the spring and fall months. Warm and sunny days (not only in the summertime but in intervals that punctuate the year) enable locals to take advantage of the region’s outstanding outdoor recreational opportunities such as fishing, boating, hiking, cycling and golfing. The winter months can be cold, but sunny skies and a dry climate typically make the air warm and crisp when out of the shadows. Of course, the winter in Denver is a welcomed season because the area features some of the finest snow skiing in the country, if not the world.

For Hilltop residents, endless opportunities exist. Located at the base of the Rocky Mountains, Denver is one of America’s most beautiful cities. Blessed with over 300 days of sunshine a year, Denver is a lively city with a great love of the outdoors. Here you’ll fine the nation’s largest city park system, 90 golf courses and an incredible 650 miles of paved biking trails. Still, Denver remains also a very cultural and sophisticated city. Denver has the tenth largest downtown in the U.S. It consists of a bustling area centered around a mile-long pedestrian promenade that is lined with outdoor cafes and flower baskets. Affectionately known as Sports Town USA, Denver is one of only a few cities to offer seven professional sports teams, a list that includes the NFL Broncos, NHL Avalanche, NBA Nuggets and the MLB Rockies. Denver is also home to horse racing, dog racing, a Grand Prix and one of the world’s largest rodeos, the National Western.

Downtown Denver is home to three new sports stadiums, 300 restaurants, a restored historic district filled with 90 bars and brewpubs, a collection of museums, a variety of galleries and shopping malls, the second largest performing arts center in the nation, three uniquely different college campuses and even an elaborate amusement park, Six Flags Elitch Gardens.

Additionally, and more importantly, these choices do not come with the sacrifice of residing in loud and busy, traffic-filled areas so commonplace in large cities across the country. In Hilltop, residents can look out upon and beyond their neighborhood to view the region’s natural beauty in the form of towering trees, large mountains, flowing springs and streams and green hillsides. Subdivisions such as Hilltop truly make for remarkable places to live.
