Cherry Hills Village Homes for Sale

Cherry Hills Village is a home rule city in Arapahoe County, just south of Denver. Residents first organized in the late 1930s to protect the area’s open, semi-rural feel, and the community was incorporated as a town in 1945 and became a home rule city in 1966. The name comes from a grove of cherry trees near the original town site.

Today the city is almost entirely residential. Every residentially zoned lot is zoned for single-family use, and by long-standing policy there is no commercial center, so residents head to nearby Cherry Creek, Englewood, and the Denver Tech Center for shopping and dining. The city covers about 6.2 square miles and counted 6,442 residents in the 2020 census. For the in-town neighborhoods to the north, see Denver luxury homes.

Cherry Hills Village suits buyers who want space and privacy close to the city. Streets are quiet, lots are generous, and many properties have room for gardens, pools, or, in the R-1 and R-2 districts, a guest house. The Village Center is about a 10-mile drive from Union Station in downtown Denver and under 5 miles from the Denver Tech Center.

The Village Trail is a loop of about six miles that links the High Line Canal, Quincy Farm, the Village Center, and John Meade Park. Its unpaved paths welcome walkers, cyclists, and horseback riders. Quincy Farm, a 17.5-acre property listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is open to visitors from sunrise to sunset.

Golf history runs deep here, too. Cherry Hills Country Club, a private club founded in 1922, has hosted the U.S. Open three times, in 1938, 1960, and 1978, including Arnold Palmer’s famous 1960 win. Private schools in the area include Kent Denver School and St. Mary’s Academy.
