Goldsmith

Discover Goldsmith: Quiet, Convenient, and Full of Character

Positioned just west of the Denver Tech Center (DTC), the Goldsmith neighborhood offers homebuyers and residents a peaceful, accessible lifestyle without sacrificing proximity to city amenities. Named after the Goldsmith family who once farmed this area, it’s a neighborhood known for its post-war ranch homes, mixed housing options, and a sense of well-established community. It strikes a balance between “Denver proper” and suburban comfort.

Neighborhood Snapshot & Demographics

Goldsmith is home to approximately 6,300 residents, with a balanced mix of renters and homeowners—about half of the housing is owner-occupied, and half is rental. Most of the neighborhood was developed between the 1940s and late 1970s, with a median build year around 1968. The housing stock is primarily made up of single-family ranches and split-levels, though there are also many apartments and condos.

The neighborhood is also known for being walkable. Nearly one in five residents walk to work, which is significantly higher than most American neighborhoods and points to the pedestrian-friendly design and convenience of this area.

Real Estate Trends & Pricing

The Goldsmith housing market has seen strong activity in recent years. As of mid-2025, the median sales price is around $630,000, reflecting a double-digit increase year over year. On average, homes spend just over a month on the market before going under contract, giving buyers enough time to evaluate options while still showing that demand is steady.

Zillow tracks the average home value at roughly $464,000, while other data sources place the median listing prices closer to the mid-$300,000s. These differences reflect the variety of property types available—condos, townhomes, and smaller ranches often list lower, while remodeled and larger single-family homes command much higher prices. The takeaway for buyers is that Goldsmith offers a wide range of price points. For sellers, the steady demand and variety mean there is a market for nearly every type of property.

Lifestyle & Neighborhood Features

Parks & Trails

Bible Park is one of Goldsmith’s best amenities. It features athletic fields, tennis courts, playgrounds, and plenty of open space. Even better, it connects directly to the High Line Canal Trail, which stretches for more than 70 miles across Denver and is a favorite for joggers, cyclists, and walkers.

Architecture & Character

Most homes in Goldsmith are mid-century ranches and split-levels built in the 1960s and 1970s. Many retain their original character, while others have been beautifully updated with modern finishes. The neighborhood also has a healthy mix of apartment complexes and condominiums, which makes it attractive for people at different stages of life.

Community & Convenience

Goldsmith offers a quiet, tree-lined environment while remaining highly convenient. Its proximity to I-25, light rail stations, and the Denver Tech Center makes commuting easy. Residents also enjoy local coffee shops, restaurants, and retail centers along Hampden Avenue, providing both suburban comfort and city access in one package.

Condos and apartments give first-time buyers a chance to enter the Denver market, while remodeled single-family homes appeal to move-up buyers. Investors also find potential here due to walkability and rental demand.
