Even the Easter Bunny can’t resist hiding his eggs in some of Denver‘s hottest neighborhoods. Why not enjoy one of the city’s top parks or exclusive neighborhoods while searching for brightly colored eggs? While the kiddos enjoy the hunt, you can admire the elegant Denver real estate and stately Denver homes. Observe the unique architectural styles of Denver, such as Craftsman bungalows, Victorians, and Denver Squares, with a basket in hand.
To aid you in your search of the perfect egg hunt (or hunts as there are several), we at Vintage Homes of Denver have scouted out those Denver Easter egg hunts that are located in areas where the Denver homes that surround the enthusiastic hunters are most interesting.
It is no secret that Washington Park is Denver‘s premier park. The homes are magnificent and harken to another age. The Denver real estate in this neighborhood is always appreciating and is a certain bet when considering an investment or a move to the Wash Park neighborhood This year is the Second Annual Wash Park Easter Egg Hunt. It takes place on Saturday, April 23rd and promises to deliver thousands of eggs to those that attend. Hosted by the New Denver Church, you do not have to be a Wash Park resident as all are welcome and there is no admission fee. The event will also include a professional photographer, face painters, games and music. They have thoughtfully broken the day up into different “heats” that are dependent on the age of the participants. A good thing, considering that the big kids invariably knock the small ones aside in their focused quest.
The Children’s Museum of Denveris hosting their Bunny Trail EggVenture on Saturday, April 23rd from 10 am -3 pm. Admission to the museum that day will include admittance to the EggVenture. Located near the LODO district of downtown Denver, it is only a hop, skip and a jump (sorry, had to do it) from the Highlands neighborhood. After you have spent time at the museum dyeing eggs, petting farm animals, creating spring themed artwork, sampling a few tasty treats and having the Easter Bunny read at storytime, you can head to the Highlands for some adult fun. The Highlands neighborhood, once a transitional area, is now one of the new Denver real estate hot spots. Amazing Victorians and bungalows are waiting to be restored and their value is buoyed by their already completed neighbors. The shopping district at 32nd Avenue and Tennyson is always bustling and new bistros and boutiques are popping up. There is a real sense of community in the Highlands and events such as artwalks and farmer’s markets are common throughout the spring, summer and fall months. Our office is in the neighborhood, so feel free to call us at 303-564-2245 for a personal tour or if you would like any further information.
Okay, there aren’t any nifty Denver homes at the Colorado Railroad Museum, but this event is a family favorite and worthy of sharing. The Easter Bunny Express will take place on Saturday, April 23rd at the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden, CO. With museum admission, your train enthusiast can take a ride into the 1800's. The steam engine will be operating this day and giving rides in the 1880's vintage passenger coach every 20 minutes between 10 am and 4 pm. The Easter Bunny will also be in attendance passing out Hershey chocolates. The museum is a wonderful, hands-on experience. Climb into cabooses, engines, boxcars, dining cars, and other miscellaneous railroad vehicles. The museum building has a vast array of train memorabilia, vintage photographs and also a miniature train display. Beware, the gift shop is excellent.
The Easter Bunny is even hiding eggs at the Denver Zoo, but not for humans. The big bunny has recruited the zookeepers to hide safely dyed, hard-boiled eggs throughout several exhibits for the animals to find and devour. Enjoy the zoo and see how many eggs you can spot before the residents do. The Eggstravaganza is held on Sunday, April 24th and requires zoo admission. The animal participants will be given access to their individual egg hunts during scheduled feeding times. Found in the City Park neighborhood, the Denver Zoo is only one destination of note in the area. Once the zoo has become overwhelming, head for the vast acreage of City Park for a picnic or to toss the Frisbee around. City Park is not only the largest tract of preserved Denver real estate, it also is home to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, Ferril Lake, the historic Pavilion, and breathtaking views of the Rocky Mountains. The park is bordered on all sides by historic Denver homes, some would qualify as mansions, from the turn of the 19th century. You truly can build an entire day around enjoying what City Park has to offer.
Several neighborhoods are holding Easter egg hunts for their residents, and are therefore, not really open to the public However, what better way to explore a potential new Denver neighborhood than to check out one of these events? It is hard to get a real read on a neighborhood and meet any locals when exploring Denver real estate. With that thought in mind, I will list a few of those “private” egg hunts here. If you are interested in Denver homes in small enclaves such as Montclair, Mayfair or the University Park neighborhood that is home to Observatory Park, consider attending these events and meet some of your potential neighbors. My advice upon entering one of these guarded events is to introduce yourself and explain your mission, don’t just be an interloper.
If you have any questions or would like a personal tour of any of the Denver neighborhoods that we have featured today, please contact Jesse Sehlmeyer of Vintage Homes of Denver at 303-564-2245. Happy Easter!

A friend suggested that we head for Kate’s Wine Bar in the historic Main Street shopping district of Littleton. I hadn’t been in before, and was not sure what to expect. From the outside, this small venue at 5671 South Nevada Street appears nondescript. However, as we entered I was immediately impressed. While my first instinct that the bar would be tiny was correct, the feeling of coziness quickly overtakes. Modeled after an English pub, the interior is a fresh white stucco with exposed beams, rich woods, leather and intimate lighting. I thought to myself, “if a woman wanted to design the perfect bar, this is it.”
Run by a mother/daughter team, Jayne Barth and Vanessa Menke, the service is prompt and friendly. Their ever changing wine selection is well conceived and they are happy to guide you. If wine is not your drink of choice, they also have the normal bar selection and several signature drinks. There is also a nice selection of simple bistro goodies ranging from brie to brownies.
Kate’s Wine Bar received several accolades in 2010, including a third place ranking on Channel 7's Top 5 A-List.

The Denver real estate market is officially open for the season! While the Denver real estate market is strong throughout the year, the spring and summer months often prove to be the most advantageous time, for both buyer and seller, to get in the game.
There are several reasons why so many Denver homes change ownership this time of year. Perhaps the quaint Craftsman bungalow felt too cramped through the long winter months, or the massive Denver Square was too large for globe-trotting empty nesters. Sometimes the employer has relocated to another section of the city, or the announcement of twins has spurred a young couple out of their condominium. Whatever the reason, these months are the most active in the Denver real estate market.
Beyond the normal reasons for folks to relocate, spring and summer present their own unique benefits. Tax refunds aid with down payments and mild weather makes for easy home shopping. For families, a move in the summer is the most logical. Their children will be settled in the new neighborhood before the school year starts, easing the transition for all. For those choosing to sell their home, the foliage and sunlight of the spring and summer months can make their home more desirable than the bleak December skies.
With everyone hoping to buy or sell their next Denver home before the leaves change, the summer months can also provide a buyer with a veritable buffet of options, and sellers with a strong platform for negotiation.
Therefore, if you have been on the fence concerning when to list your property, purchase your next, or take advantage of investment opportunities, consider the benefits of starting this spring.
