Cherry Hills Village is one of the Denver area’s most exclusive and picturesque residential communities — a place where pastoral beauty meets elegant suburban living. Nestled directly south of Downtown Denver in Arapahoe County, this home‑rule city is widely recognized for its estate‑sized lots, luxury custom homes, mature tree‑lined streets, and enviable privacy, all within easy reach of the region’s urban amenities.
Incorporated in 1945, Cherry Hills Village was originally named for the cherry orchards that once dotted the landscape. Since then, it has evolved into a highly sought-after residential enclave spanning roughly 6.2 square miles and hosting a community of about 6,400 residents. Residents enjoy a quiet, largely rural feel, despite being just a short drive from downtown Denver.
What defines the area is its commitment to preserving a refined residential character — commercial development is limited, and strict zoning ensures that single‑family homes on large lots remain the norm. Today’s housing stock ranges from tasteful mid‑century ranches to grand custom estates, many designed to take full advantage of Cherry Hills Village’s lush landscape and serene ambiance.
Despite its opulence, Cherry Hills Village maintains a deeply connected community spirit with historical roots. Its quiet streets are ideal for walking, biking, and outdoor living. Trails, open spaces, and well‑kept parks encourage healthy, active lifestyles, while local events and traditions help reinforce a strong neighborhood identity.
Families in Cherry Hills Village benefit from access to some of the region’s highest‑rated public and private schools. Much of the city lies within the acclaimed Cherry Creek School District, which consistently earns strong academic ratings. Additionally, esteemed private institutions such as St. Mary’s Academy and Kent Denver School add to the area’s educational appeal.
The community’s proximity to Denver means residents are minutes from premier dining, shopping, and cultural venues, while still enjoying the secluded charm of a pastoral enclave.
