The Cherry Creek Neighborhood is located 3 miles southeast of Downtown Denver and is considered the most fashionable and well known shopping area in the city. The Cherry Creek name comes from nearby Cherry Creek which runs along the south side of the neighborhood. Many of the homes in Cherry Creek are new construction with exquisite architecture using brick, stone and stucco. Because vacant lots are very rare in Cherry Creek, throughout the years the pattern has been to scrape older properties and build new and larger homes in their place. Today Cherry Creek has many housing options including single family homes, cluster type and mid-rise condominiums, duplexes, triplexes, townhomes, and ultra-luxury attached and detached houses. The result has been more housing options in Cherry Creek than ever before, and a variety of price ranges.  The Cherry Creek Shopping Center located along 1st Avenue is known as the premier mall in Denver. There is an additional shopping area north of 1st Avenue called Cherry Creek North which has over 300 stores. The Whole Foods at the corner of 1st and University was the first in the city of Denver. One of the most popular festivals in Denver is the Cherry Creek Arts Festival which is held annually on the Fourth of July weekend and draws over 300,000 people. Cherry Creek has been a famous upscale destination in the Rocky Mountain Region since the 1950s and attracts both home buyers and visitors. It has traditionally been a very desirable and popular place to live.
