One of Denver’s more populated neighborhoods, Hilltop affords elevated living in every possible respect. It’s bordered by Cherry Creek, to the west, and Lowry to the east, with a total of roughly 10,000 residents. True to its name, it’s topographically higher-up than neighboring communities, with a blend of urban and suburban qualities that give it a strongly differentiated vibe. Many of the homes here today are of modern construction, upsized from the first wave of development in the forties and fifties. Cranmer Park forms the heart of Hilltop, famous for its giant sundial that’s as functional as it is a science-forward playground. Distant panoramas of the Front Range Mountains add a scenic backdrop to this tranquil, dynamic locale.
