Get To Know The Area
Englewood’s CityCenter is a prime example of why many people move to Colorado. Residential, commercial and cultural facilities blend to form a civic patchwork connected by grassy walkways and accessible by car, bus, bike, and light rail.
The private University of Denver is located here, responsible for the city’s funky, college-town character and Condoleezza Rice’s bachelor of arts degree. Watch the DU Pioneers compete for yet another NCAA hockey championship at the Magness Arena. An area must-see is the newly restored Gothic Theatre, a beautiful art-deco venue dating back to the 1920s. Meanwhile, the Museum of Outdoor Arts at the Englewood Civic Center boasts a collection of public art and an amphitheater that hosts the Sounds of Summer Concert Series and a variety of other musical and dramatic performances.
