The Observatory Park Neighborhood lies on the eastern border of the campus of the University of Denver. Often referred to as University Park, the area offers the charm of a college town and the serenity of a traditional neighborhood. Beautifully landscaped historic homes and mature shade trees create picturesque streets. The grand estates of "University Row" feature a number of Victorian mansions, complete with carriage houses. There is a great mix of architecture in Observatory Park, including large one-story brick homes, ranches, Cape Cods and Denver modern style. The wide streets and gracious homes create a storybook setting for an upscale Denver neighborhood.
Located off both the University and Yale exits of I-25, Observatory Park has quick and easy access to all parts of the city. Downtown is approximately 20 minutes away by car, and a short ride on the newly constructed light rail.
