Living in Cherry Hills Village

Overview

Cherry Hills Village is the Denver metro's quietest luxury market — half-acre minimum lot sizes, mature trees, no commercial corridors, and a country-club anchor that has been hosting major championships for decades. Buyers tend to land here for the combination of estate-scale privacy and a 15-minute drive to either downtown or the Denver Tech Center, a pairing that genuinely doesn't exist elsewhere in the metro.

What Makes Cherry Hills Village Stand Out

• Estate homes on half-acre to multi-acre lots
• Cherry Hills Country Club, site of major golf championships
• Cherry Creek School District
• Privacy and acreage with a 15–25 minute drive to downtown

Housing Snapshot

The market is exclusively single-family — there are no condos or townhomes in the village. Inventory is thin and idiosyncratic: tear-down ranches on prized lots, mid-century estate homes, and recent custom builds all trade in the same year. Most active price band is $2M–$5M, with limited but real activity above $7M. There is no entry-level here.

What to Know Before You Buy in Cherry Hills Village

• Days on market run long — 40+ days is normal at this price point, and luxury inventory often takes a season or more to move. Plan for a longer search and a longer sale timeline.
• Estate maintenance is real money. Half-acre-plus lots, mature landscaping, larger systems, and well/septic on some parcels mean annual upkeep costs that dwarf comparable mid-tier homes.
• Property taxes scale with value. At a $2.5M median, expect annual property taxes north of $10K and rising with assessment cycles.
