Several great lofts and condos in Denver’s Governor’s Park put you right next to a Colorado landmark.

Governor’s Park is one of Denver’s most interesting neighborhoods. The anchor of Governor’s Park is the beautiful Governor’s Mansion at 400 E. 8th Ave. Built in 1908, this Georgian Revival style mansion was deeded to the state in 1959. Since then, every Colorado state Governor has lived in the mansion with only one exception, Bill Owens. It’s very possible that recent governor-elect Bill Ritter will be occupying the mansion during his term. There are many special events held in the mansion and free tours are available during the summer. The neighborhood features a mixture of single-family homes, apartments, lofts and condos and gorgeous historic mansions.

In interesting Colorado Governor facts, the city of Denver was named after Kansas Territorial Governor James Denver. He wasn’t particularly thrilled with the namesake because, at the time, Denver was just a dusty frontier town. John Long Routt became the first Colorado Governor in 1876 when Colorado became a state.

Today Governor’s Park is home to many great restaurants, coffee shops, retail, salons and more. It’s also just a short distance from Downtown and the popular Golden Triangle area, home to new buildings like the Beauvallon and the Prado.

Many lofts are available in the buildings within the Governor’s Park neighborhood. Most are affordable units in buildings like Lido, The Lanai, Governor’s Park Condos, and Florentine. These buildings offer balconies with pretty views, secure parking, and some have great building amenities like pools or fitness rooms.
