Harvey Park, Denver, Colorado Mid-Century Modern Homes
THE HIGHEST POINT IN SOUTHWEST DENVER
Harvey Park is bound by Jewell to the North, Lowell Blvd. to the East, and Sheridan to the West, with the boundary between Harvey Park North and Harvey Park South residing on West Yale Avenue. This neighborhood was built in anticipation of Veterans coming back from WWII, when almost 3,000 homes were built over the span of four years in the 1950s. This neighborhood is a mix of Mid-Century Modern homes as well as Mid-Century brick ranch homes (such as the Hutchinson homes), all of which were known for being extremely well built and durable structures that could stand the test of time. This part of town is known for being one of the last sections of Denver County with somewhat more affordable homes. The location is relatively convenient - triangulated between the City of Denver to the Northeast, Littleton to the South, Englewood and Broadway to the Southeast, and Lakewood to the West.
Most of Harvey Park South is comprised of brick ranch homes, with most of the Mid-Century Modern homes residing in pockets within Harvey Park North. Learn more about the different Mid-Century Modern builders, areas, and home styles using the links below:
