Get to Know Bonnie Brae

Bonnie Brae is one of Denver’s most distinct and picturesque neighborhoods, renowned for its "Scottish village" aesthetic and departure from the city's typical grid system. Located southeast of downtown, it is bordered by University Boulevard and Steele Street to the west and east, and Exposition and Mississippi Avenues to the north and south.

Enjoy Unique Architecture

Bonnie Brae is famous for its eclectic and high-end residential styles. While it is best known for its charming English Tudors with steep rooflines and intricate brickwork, you will also find a mix of different architecture. Art Moderne and international style are everywhere. Examples of these sleek, curved-corner homes are rare in Denver but prominent here. You will also find Cape Cods and ranches. Post-WWII growth brought many brick ranch-style homes to the area. Alongside contemporary custom builds, many original homes have been renovated or replaced with modern luxury estates.

Why People Love It

It is an incredibly walkable enclave, with residents often strolling to the central park or the local ice cream shop. It offers a "secluded" feel while being minutes away from Washington Park, Cherry Creek North, and the University of Denver. The Bonnie Brae Neighborhood Association is highly active, hosting annual picnics and events that maintain a tight-knit village atmosphere.
