The Bonnie Brae Neighborhood

Bonnie Brae was developed in the 1920s, and is home to one of urban Denver's most vibrant neighborhood commercial districts. The neighborhood's unusual street patterns don't follow the typical city street grid, and its winding streets surround an elliptical-shaped park. It’s a serene residential enclave, and its beautiful homes, mostly built in the 30s and 40s, line the quiet streets. With many of its original constructions intact, homes range from cozy oldies to million dollar new constructions. Located just southeast of Downtown Denver happenings, the Bonnie Brae neighborhood offers the quiet neighborhood feel with accessibility to all the city has to offer! Plus, some of Denver’s favorite dining is located in the heart of Bonnie Brae for residents’ enjoyment.
