Cherry Hills Village
Denver living at its finest
Cherry Hills Village is widely viewed as
being the most exclusive suburb in the Denver, Colorado area. Blessed by strict
zoning, exclusive homes, expansive lots, and unparalled proximity to both
downtown Denver and the Denver Tech Center, Cherry Hills is the locale of
choice for Denver's business leaders and sports heros alike.

Monaco Street, where it meets the city of Denver; on the west by Clarkson
Street where it adjoins the city of Englewood; and on the south by Belleview
Avenue where it meets the city of Greenwood Village.

Cherry Hills Village has approximately
6,000 residents. A typical resident might be a doctor, lawyer, professional or

of sports professionals as well. Notable Cherry Hills residents include retired

owner Pat Bowlen, pro golfer Mark Wiebe, billionaire Donald Sturm, Colorado
Avalanche star Joe Sakic, and baseball outfielder Ellis Burks. Business leaders

empires, and software companies. Even Tom ("You have a friend in the

Amenities
Cherry Hills Village is proud to have no
retail development, although stores are easily accessible in the surrounding
communities. Instead, the Village boasts two leading country clubs, a tennis
and swim club, an riding club, two private schools and a public elementary
school. There are many large churches which draw sizeable congregations from
the surrounding communities. A large police force provides excellent protection
and security (and seemingly generates substantial revenue from traffic
enforcement!)
