9. Old meets new, in the best of ways. A lot of the homes in Berkeley are still original bungalows and ranch-style homes, built as early as the late 1800s but now we are starting to see brand new structures and beautiful remodels sprouting up amongst the classics, and the balance that architects are achieving is truly an art to behold.

6. The Dog Park located at the Northwest tip of Berkeley, this is one of the biggest off-leash areas in the Denver Metro, and no matter what time of day, you will always find a playmate for your pup in this four-legged hot-spot.

5. The Twin Lakes. Sure, there are lots of neighborhoods that have one lakebut Berkeley has TWO and whether you want to do a little laid-back fishing, take a stroll, or train for your next race, the lakes are right up the street!
