Crestmoor Park is one of Denver’s most sought after neighborhoods for buyers who want space, and it is a neighborhood I know well. I’m Ghassan Kanafani, a Luxury Realtor Associate with Kentwood Real Estate Cherry Creek. I have listed and sold homes in Crestmoor Park, including 6110 E 6th Ave and my current listing at 5801 E 3rd Ave, and I come to real estate with a background in building and renovating homes. This guide covers where Crestmoor is, what the park and the swim and tennis club offer, what the homes look like, where prices sit, and what I tell buyers and sellers here.
Where Crestmoor Park Is
Crestmoor Park, Denver, with the downtown skyline
Crestmoor Park sits in east Denver, about two miles east of Cherry Creek North. I define it as Holly Street on the west, Monaco Parkway on the east, Alameda Avenue on the south and 6th Avenue on the north. The City of Denver counts Crestmoor as part of its official Hilltop neighborhood, and Holly Street is the line most locals use between the two.
That location is a big part of the appeal. Cherry Creek North’s shopping and dining are a short drive west, Downtown Denver is close, and Lowry sits just to the north and east.
The Park at the Center
The neighborhood is named for Crestmoor Park, a city park of about 37 acres along Monaco Parkway.
Recreation: Four public tennis courts, sports fields used by youth soccer programs, picnic areas and a loop path with exercise stations.
Playground: The City has been improving the playground and paths through the RISE Denver bond.
Open space: Wide lawns and mature trees, with mountain and skyline views from the higher ground.
For homeowners, homes facing the park or a short distance from it are among the most requested in the neighborhood.
The Crestmoor Swim and Tennis Club
Ask buyers what sets Crestmoor apart and many will mention the club. The Crestmoor Community Association runs a private pool and tennis club inside the neighborhood, with a summer swim program, tennis and a full social calendar. It is one of the biggest selling points in the neighborhood. Membership has a long waitlist, and in my experience, owning a home in the neighborhood helps you move up it faster. It is one of the first questions I get from buyers here, and I am happy to walk you through how it works.

The Homes
Crestmoor is known for lot size. Many lots are much larger than what you find in most central Denver neighborhoods, which is exactly why the neighborhood is changing.
Original ranch and midcentury homes: Built mostly in the late 1940s through the 1960s, many on large, tree covered lots.
Tudors and traditional homes: Found on some of the older streets near the park.
New custom construction: Builders are replacing original ranch homes with large new luxury homes, often with main floor primary suites, finished basements and three car garages.

What I Watch For in Crestmoor Park
Before focusing full time on representing buyers and sellers, I spent about 20 years building and renovating homes in Denver. That background shapes what I look for in Crestmoor.
Buying an original home: Look closely at the sewer line, foundation, electrical and roof, and decide early whether you plan to renovate, add on or rebuild. That choice changes what the home is worth to you.
Buying new construction: Ask who the builder is, what the warranty covers, and how drainage and the basement were handled. Quality varies more than the photos show.
Land value: On many Crestmoor lots, the land is worth more than the house. Lot size, shape and location relative to the park drive value as much as the home itself.
Selling: Targeted preparation pays off. At 6110 E 6th Ave, I brought in contractors to get the home ready, and it sold over asking the first weekend during the winter months. At 5801 E 3rd Ave, I coordinated cleaners, landscapers, stagers and trades to get a new home market ready.
