Renting an Apartment in Park Hill
What You Should Know
Park Hill is a neighborhood in Denver, Colorado, U.S.A. Located in the
northeastern quadrant of the city, it is bordered by Colorado Boulevard on
the west, East Colfax Avenue on the south, Quebec Street on the east, and
East 52nd Avenue on the north. It is further divided by the City and County
of Denver into three administrative neighborhoods, South Park Hill, North
Park Hill, and Northeast Park Hill.
In 1887, Baron Allios Gillaume Engine von Winckler platted the original Park Hill development on 32 acres of land he owned east of City Park. This development was bordered by present day Montview Boulevard on the south, Colorado Boulevard on the west, East 26th Avenue on the north, and Dahlia Street on the east, placing it in what is now the western portion of South Park Hill.
In 1898, in response to the Spanish-American War, Baron von Winckler allowed land directly north of the original development to be used as a camp for the Colorado National Guard. It housed 1,400 troops in tents. Shortly after this, the Baron committed suicide, reportedly after seeing the troops leave for the Philippines.
The first homes in Park Hill were offered for sale in 1900. As the neighborhood grew, settlers from many nations, including England, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, and Italy moved in, as did African Americans. After World War II, residential development increased in the northern part of the neighborhood.
True to its roots, Park Hill today remains a diverse community representing many ethnic backgrounds.
Data from the U.S. Census indicate that in the year 2000, there were a total of 26,422 residents in 10,221 households in the three administrative neighborhoods comprising Park Hill. Income increased from north to south, and the number of minority residents increased from south to north.

Park Hill Community
The Greater Park Hill Community (GPHC) is a non-profit neighborhood organization formed in 1961. The GPHC, managed and staffed largely by volunteers, is involved in the following tasks:
Most significantly, it serves as a liaison between local residents and businesses and the City and County of Denver.
It publishes a monthly newspaper, the Greater Park Hill News, which is distributed free to residents of Park Hill's administrative neighborhoods and nearby businesses.
It operates a Youth Jobs Program to help young people ages 12-15 find summer jobs.
It sponsors an annual home tour in the fall.
