Bonnie Brae

Bonnie Brae is a charming, residential Denver neighborhood known for its winding streets, mature trees, and relaxed pace of life. Located just south of Washington Park, it offers a similar central location with a noticeably quieter, less congested atmosphere.

The neighborhood’s curving roads and smaller blocks create a tucked-away feel that appeals to buyers seeking privacy and a true sense of community. Homes in Bonnie Brae range from classic Tudors and ranches to a few Art Deco examples from the 20’s and 30’s. There has also been extensive redevelopment of existing homes, resulting in a collection of impressive new builds and remodels that complement the area’s early-20th-century roots.

Residents enjoy easy access to Washington Park while benefiting from a more low-key, residential environment. The Bonnie Brae Shopping Center along University Boulevard offers convenient dining and local favorites, enhancing the neighborhood’s everyday livability without the constant activity found closer to Wash Park.

With its peaceful streets, central location, and understated charm, Bonnie Brae remains a highly desirable option for buyers who value character, convenience, and a quieter lifestyle in the heart of Denver. This is the first neighborhood I settled in when first moving back to Denver, and although we have moved on, we still own property in the area and love the charm.
