I love the architecture of the old 40s and 50s cars and shops mixing with the modern new and remodeled buildings. The walkability and nearby parks are probably the biggest selling points.

Platte Park neighborhood has always been a hidden gem. Many new restaurants over the past few years have made Olde South Pearl a very happening place. Great for families and young professionals, close to many parks. Quick jaunt downtown and very bike friendly!! Easy to access major thoroughfares to escape the city life and enjoy our beautiful mountains!
