Country Club Overview
About Country Club
Country Club grew up beside the Denver Country Club, which bought 120 acres along Cherry Creek in 1902. On the same day, club members formed the Fourth Avenue Realty Company and bought the land to the north. The company chose architect William E. Fisher as its principal designer, and Fisher, drawing on concepts from Frederick Law Olmsted, made landscaped parkways the defining feature of the area. He also designed the Mediterranean-style gateways along 4th Avenue that still mark the neighborhood.
The first homes went up in Park Club Place in 1905 and in Country Club Place in 1909, and building continued into the 1920s. The western half of today’s Country Club Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, and the City of Denver designated the district a landmark district in 1990. The L-shaped district includes about 380 homes, many designed by prominent Denver architects such as Fisher and Fisher, Jacques Benedict, and Varian and Sterner.
The neighborhood and the historic district aren’t identical. The district is smaller, running from 1st Avenue to 4th Avenue between Downing Street and University Boulevard, and reaching 6th Avenue along Race Street.

Country Club appeals to buyers who want a historic home on a large lot within minutes of Cherry Creek North, downtown, and the Cherry Creek Trail. The parkways and mature trees give many blocks a quiet, park-like feel, even though Speer Boulevard and University Boulevard are close by.
The neighborhood association, Country Club Historic Neighborhood (CCHN), is active here, and its member dues fund a neighborhood security service. The Denver Country Club itself is a private club, so living nearby doesn’t include membership.
