🌳 Meet Ruby Hill: Denver’s Hidden Gem

If you don’t know Ruby Hill yet, prepare to fall in love. With just a short drive from downtown, this neighborhood offers a unique mix of urban accessibility and outdoor fun.

At the center of the community is Ruby Hill Park which is a sprawling green space with some of the most spectacular city and mountain views around. It’s not just a park! It’s a destination!

In the winter, locals head to Ruby Hill Rail Yard, the only free urban terrain park of its kind in the country with PERFECT sledding hills. In the summer, it transforms into a place to bike, hike, picnic, and take in live music under the stars.

Speaking of music: The Levitt Pavilion which is one of my favorite venues in the whole metro area is a state-of-the-art outdoor amphitheater that hosts more than 50 free concerts every year. Yes, free. Grab a blanket, pack a picnic, and enjoy the sound of summer just blocks from your front door. You don't have to worry about parking, because you can WALK there!

Love biking or trail running? Ruby Hill is packed with trails, including access to Sanderson Gulch and the South Platte River Trail. It’s one of the few neighborhoods in Denver where you can go from city sidewalks to scenic nature in just a few steps.

And when you’re hungry? The local gems up and down Federal Boulevard serve everything from street tacos to Vietnamese pho. Add with the close proximity to downtown, local coffee shops, and laid-back breweries, and you’ve got a community that’s vibrant, walkable, and full of character.
