Location
Cherry Hills Village is a home rule city in Arapahoe County, located immediately south of Denver and bordered by Denver, Englewood, Greenwood Village, and Centennial. Incorporated as a town in 1945 and elevated to home rule city status in 1966, it spans just 6.3 square miles of rolling, semi-rural terrain, with the High Line Canal, a 71-mile trail and waterway, running directly through the city. Cherry Hills Country Club, three-time host of the U.S. Open, and the historic Buell Mansion estate anchor the city's character as one of large lots, winding roads, and mature tree cover rather than a commercial center.
Cherry Hills Village's location places residents roughly 10 miles and about 20 minutes from downtown Denver via I-25, immediately adjacent to the Denver Tech Center's employment corridor, and about 30 miles, roughly 34 minutes via Peña Boulevard, from Denver International Airport. Unlike more urban Denver neighborhoods, Cherry Hills Village carries a Walk Score of just 11 out of 100, a deliberate tradeoff for privacy, acreage, and a car-dependent, country-in-the-city lifestyle that its residents have protected since the Cherry Hills Improvement Association first organized against commercial development roughly 80 years ago.
Lifestyle
Cherry Hills Village is where Denver's oldest wealth and newest arrivals both choose the same thing: privacy on acreage, without giving up proximity to the city. A morning ride down a Happy Canyon bridle trail, an afternoon round at Cherry Hills Country Club or Glenmoor Country Club, and an evening walk along the High Line Canal make up the daily rhythm of a neighborhood built entirely around low density and green space, which is exactly why Cherry Hills Village real estate holds its value the way it does.
Cherry Hills Country Club
One of the most storied private clubs in American golf. Founded in the 1920s, Cherry Hills Country Club has hosted three U.S. Opens (1938, 1960, 1978), two PGA Championships, a U.S. Women's Open, and three U.S. Amateurs. Its presence has anchored the city's identity and property values for a century.
Equestrian Culture & Happy Canyon
Cherry Hills Village remains one of the few Denver-area communities with a genuine equestrian lifestyle. Riding trails, horse properties, and estate lots along the Happy Canyon corridor continue to draw buyers who want acreage built for horses, not just landscaping.
The High Line Canal Trail
A 71-mile multi-use trail that runs directly through Cherry Hills Village, with a stretch of the route specifically dedicated to the pastoral corridor through the city. Underpasses at Hampden Avenue and Colorado Boulevard, plus a 2025 resurfacing project, keep the trail a daily amenity for walking, running, and riding.
The Buell Mansion
A gated, 110-acre historic enclave centered on a 1920 Georgian Revival mansion listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Residents share a private lake, pool, tennis court, and direct access to the High Line Canal's riding and walking trails.
Glenmoor Country Club
A second private club within city limits, Glenmoor offers golf and social membership and has hosted PGA Tour and major championship events, reinforcing Cherry Hills Village's concentration of premier club life within a few square miles.
A Record-Setting Luxury Market
In November 2025, a 22,000-square-foot estate at 4603 S. Denice Drive sold for $17 million, the most expensive on-market home sale in Denver-area history, surpassing the prior on-market record of $15.8 million set in 2023. The all-time metro record remains a $28 million off-market purchase in Cherry Hills Village in 2022.
Neighborhoods
Cherry Hills Village real estate isn't divided by commercial districts or condo towers. It's divided by lot size, privacy, and proximity to the city's clubs and trails. Understanding these distinctions matters more here than in almost any other Denver submarket when evaluating homes for sale in Cherry Hills Village CO.
Old Cherry Hills
The most prestigious and established micro-market in the city, with a current median list price near $4.9 million and recent sales ranging from $3.8 million to $9.75 million. Lots typically run just under an acre, with homes commonly exceeding 8,000 square feet.
The Buell Mansion
A gated community of custom estates surrounding the historic Buell Mansion on 110 acres, offering private roads, a shared lake, and some of the city's tightest security and privacy.
Happy Canyon Equestrian Estates
Properties along and near Happy Canyon Road built around riding trails and horse facilities, appealing to buyers for whom equestrian access is a non-negotiable part of Cherry Hills Village living.
Entry-Level Estates
The most accessible entry point into Cherry Hills Village, typically half-acre lots starting around $1.5 million, offering the city's schools, zoning, and privacy at a lower price point than the estate core.
Mid-Range Estate Corridor
Properties on 1 to 2 acre parcels generally commanding $3 million to $8 million, the largest single tier of transactions in the city and the segment most active with buyers moving up from Denver's inner neighborhoods.
New Construction & Custom Estates
A steady stream of older homes are being remodeled or fully rebuilt into modern custom estates, a trend local builders and agents point to as a defining feature of the current market, driven by the scarcity of large, buildable lots this close to Denver.
Market
The Cherry Hills Village real estate market trades at more than five and a half times the Denver metro median, among the widest premiums of any Denver-area submarket. As of August 2026, the median sale price stood at $3,582,629, up 3.5% year over year, against a Denver metro median of $619,090. Zillow's broader home value index shows a similar picture, with the typical Cherry Hills Village home valued at $3,239,758, up 5.9% over the past year.
Inventory stays tight by design. With roughly 35 to 45 active listings at any given time, about 4 months of supply, and only around 40 homes selling in a typical month, Cherry Hills Village functions more like a boutique luxury market than a conventional suburb. That low volume also means monthly statistics can swing widely: in one snapshot earlier in 2026, a small sample of closings pushed average days on market past 100 days, while the fuller August dataset showed homes moving in roughly 28 days. Buyers should read any single month's Cherry Hills Village numbers with that volatility in mind.
The market's ceiling has been rising. A $17 million sale in November 2025 became the most expensive on-market home sale in Denver-area history, and Cherry Hills Village properties accounted for the majority of the region's top home sales of 2025. Combined with strict no-commercial zoning and a fixed, small housing stock, that ceiling has supported values through multiple market cycles.
