About Goldsmith

Goldsmith is the southeast Denver neighborhood around Bible Park and Goldsmith Gulch, between Virginia Village and the Hampden area. Its 1950s and 1960s brick ranches, its 1970s condominium communities along Mississippi and Yale, and the Highline Canal Trail running through it make it a quiet, practical neighborhood with a quick drive to both Cherry Creek and the Tech Center.

Location

Goldsmith runs from Mississippi Avenue south to Yale Avenue between Monaco Parkway and Havana Street, with Virginia Village to the west, Windsor to the north, Indian Creek and Kennedy to the east and south and Hampden across Yale. Monaco, Yale and Havana are the main routes; Interstate 25 and the Tech Center are ten minutes south.

History and background

Goldsmith takes its name from Goldsmith Gulch, the creek that drains the area toward Cherry Creek, and the land along it was farms and pasture outside the city into the 1950s, crossed by the Highline Canal that had watered them since 1883.

Denver annexed the area in the 1950s as the city grew southeast toward the new Interstate 25, and builders filled it with the brick ranches and split-levels of the late 1950s and 1960s. Bible Park, named for a longtime parks commissioner, was developed on the gulch's floodplain, and the condominium communities along Mississippi and Yale came in the 1970s.

The neighborhood stayed a quiet residential area between the Virginia Village and Hampden commercial corridors, and the Highline Canal Trail, developed from the 1970s on, became its main public space along with the park. The Tech Center's growth to the south and Cherry Creek's to the northwest have kept it in demand as a middle ground between them.

Housing and architecture

The streets hold 1950s and 1960s brick ranches and split-levels on 60- to 80-foot lots, many with basements and attached garages, alongside 1970s and 1980s condominium and townhome communities along Mississippi, Monaco and Yale. The housing is consistent and largely original, with renovation spreading from Virginia Village since the 2010s.

Parks and recreation

Bible Park, with its lake, playground, trails and the Goldsmith Gulch greenway, is the neighborhood's center, and the Highline Canal Trail runs through it toward Cherry Creek and the Hampden area. Kennedy Golf Course and Cherry Creek State Park are a short drive east, and Cook Park's recreation center is west.

Dining, shopping and daily life

Mississippi Avenue, Monaco Parkway and Havana Street carry grocery stores, restaurants and services, with the Tamarac Square and Tiffany Plaza centers south on Hampden and the Cherry Creek shopping district fifteen minutes west. The Tech Center's restaurants are a short drive south.
