Cherry Hills Village: A Guide to Denver’s Most Exclusive Address
THE SHORT ANSWER
Cherry Hills Village is the highest price point in metro Denver: roughly six square miles of estates on one-acre minimum lots, ten minutes from downtown. The citywide median sale ran about $3.5 million over the last 12 months, and the top of the market currently carries an unusual concentration of inventory between $8 million and $19.85 million, more ultra-luxury supply than this market has seen in years. That matters for both buyers and sellers, and it is the single most important thing to understand about pricing here right now. Mitch Lazar recently represented the seller of 60 Glenmoor Circle in Cherry Hills Village, sold August 2026 at $3,375,000, per REcolorado.
Living in Cherry Hills Village
Cherry Hills Village enforces what most luxury suburbs only advertise: a one-acre minimum lot size across nearly the entire city, no commercial development, and no sidewalks or streetlights in most of it. The community’s dedication to preserving its rural charm is written into its zoning, and the result is a place that feels like countryside despite sitting between Denver and the Tech Center. Sprawling properties with manicured lawns and mountain views sit along quiet streets, with horse properties, bridle paths and the High Line Canal running through neighborhoods that hold some of Colorado’s most significant homes. Miles of scenic trails and open space make hiking, biking and horseback riding part of daily life here.
The village is served by Cherry Creek School District, with Kent Denver School and St. Mary’s Academy among the private options inside or adjacent to the city. The prestigious Cherry Hills Country Club, host of numerous PGA events over the decades, anchors the social calendar along with Glenmoor Country Club, and downtown Denver is a fifteen minute drive, which is the quiet reason so many executives and public figures live here rather than further out.
The Ultra-Luxury Shelf: What Is Happening Right Now
As of this summer, Cherry Hills Village is carrying multiple active listings between $8 million and $19.85 million simultaneously, a concentration this market has rarely seen. For buyers at that level it means genuine choice and negotiating room for the first time in years. For sellers it means the opposite: more comparison, longer marketing timelines at the very top, and a hard requirement for pricing discipline. Metro-wide, luxury homes went under contract in a median of 17 days in July, but that number belongs to the $1M to $3M band, not to the $8M-plus tier, and confusing the two is the most common pricing mistake we see here.
The Homes
Housing ranges from 1950s and 1960s ranches on acre lots, often bought for the land, through 1990s traditional estates, to contemporary new construction of 10,000 square feet and more. Because lots are large and uniform in minimum size, the variable is almost entirely the house, which makes comparable analysis unusually dependent on finish level and architectural relevance rather than square footage alone.
