Cherry Creek: Upscale Shopping and the Creek Trail
Cherry Creek is a census-designated place and well-known neighborhood area in the Denver metro, with a population of approximately 11,120. The name refers both to a residential CDP and to the broader Cherry Creek commercial district, which is one of the most recognized shopping and dining destinations in Colorado. Cherry Creek Shopping Center, an enclosed mall anchored by Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus, and the adjacent Cherry Creek North outdoor shopping district together form a retail corridor that draws visitors from the entire Front Range.
Cherry Creek North consists of 16 blocks of independently owned boutiques, galleries, restaurants, and specialty shops along 2nd and 3rd Avenues between University Boulevard and Steele Street. The district hosts seasonal art festivals and a farmers' market. Property values in the surrounding residential areas rank among the highest in the Denver metro, with many homes exceeding $1 million.
The Cherry Creek Trail, a 40-mile paved path running from Confluence Park in downtown Denver southeast to Franktown, passes through the area and connects to the broader Denver trail network. Cherry Creek State Park, further southeast, offers a reservoir for swimming and boating, along with campgrounds and off-leash dog areas. The creek itself was the site of the first gold discovery that triggered the Pikes Peak Gold Rush of 1858.
