View Real Estate Lists for Denver's Belcaro Neighborhood
Belcaro in Italian means “beautiful dear one” and perfectly sums up this beautiful storybook neighborhood. The Belcaro neighborhood lies just to the east of the Bonnie Brae neighborhood and is home to one of Denver’s grandest homes, the Phipps Mansion. Built by Lawrence C. Phipps, treasurer of Carnegie Steel and U.S. Senator, this 33,123 square foot home sits on five acres at the western portion of the neighborhood. Phipps’ wife, Margaret donated the Phipps Mansion to Denver University which rents it out for private events and renamed it the Lawrence C. Phipps Memorial Conference Center.
With long driveways, park like grounds and tall timbers, this neighborhood is filled with expensive ranch style homes. A few two stories exist. The neighborhood is centrally located as it is only a short distance from all the high-end restaurants and retail establishments in posh Cherry Creek as well as Wash Park and the shops on S. Gaylord.
If you like the Belcaro area, you will also like Washington Park, Bonnie Brae, Congress Park, Cheesman Park and City Park.
