Congress Park
Congress Park is the patch of Denver that figured itself out a century ago and saw no reason to revise. Bungalows and Denver Squares line the side streets, the namesake park anchors the middle, and 12th Avenue handles the eating and drinking without making a scene about it. Capitol Hill noise stays west, Cherry Creek money stays east, and the residents seem broadly pleased with that arrangement. Daters here have usually traded the apartment churn of Cap Hill for a lease with a yard, which sets the tone. Walkable, leafy, quietly expensive, and refreshingly unbothered by whatever Denver is branding itself as this quarter.
