Cherry Hills Village: One of America's Most Exclusive Neighborhoods
Posted by Bruce Swedal on Monday, July 12th, 2010 at 11:04pm.
Cherry Hills Village is the most exclusive suburb of Denver and it is also one of the most beautiful. It was the intention of the developers and the local community to maintain the natural beauty of the area, and to ensure that the area was developed very carefully in order to ensure that none of the neighborhood's charm was lost. Despite its name, Cherry Hills Village is now, in fact, an incorporated city, but it still has a semi-rural feel thanks to the careful planning that has gone into its development.
Cherry Hills Village has some of the most beautiful and highly priced houses in the Denver area and in the state of Colorado. It is in fact one of the most affluent neighborhoods in the entire United States. The neighborhood is beautifully landscaped, and many of the properties in it have extensive grounds of their own.
Cherry Hills Village is characterized by a blend of residential areas with the beautiful rural landscape. A system of trails winds around the area, offering residents the chance to enjoy this landscape for themselves, whether walking, cycling, running or on horseback. The views from many of the houses are also spectacular, and allow less active residents to enjoy the Colorado landscape from the comfort of their own home.
The local community organizes a range of different recreational and social events and activities. The Cherry Hills Country Club is also in this area and it is very popular with the local residents. The club offers a range of facilities that include tennis and swimming facilities and boarding for horses. The club's golf course has hosted two PGA championships and the US Women's Open Championship.
The Cherry Hills Village community was foundwith the intention of preserving the natural beauty of the area while providing luxurious family homes. Development of the area began in 1945. Before this, the area had only been slightly developed, with a few large houses. The Country Club was already in existence, having recently weathered the Depression, and was welcoming growing numbers of members as the economy began to grow again. As Cherry Hills Village began to grow, its development was carefully regulated in order to prevent the area from losing its exclusive nature and pleasant scenery.
Homes in Cherry Hills Village tend to be spacious, luxurious single family homes set in large landscaped lots. There are some spectacular estate properties in the neighborhood too. A number of luxury custom homes have also been built more recently in the area in subdivisions such as Cherry Hills Farm, Devonshire, Covington and Glenmoor.
It is the location of the neighborhood that attracts many of its residents. The downtown area of Denver, the Cherry Creek shopping center and the Denver Tech Center are all less than twenty minutes away. Residents of Cherry Hills Village therefore have plenty of opportunities for shopping, eating out and entertainment within easy reach of their own neighborhood.
Cherry Hills Village is a wonderful place in which to raise a family. Many of the homes have been designed for family life and the large gardens and many recreational facilities in the local area are ideal for active families. The neighborhood is served by some of Denver's best schools, including Cherry Creek High School, which obtains many of the highest grades in Colorado. Children from Cherry Hills Village also attend some of the area's private schools, such as Saint Mary's Academy and the Kent Denver School.
