"Chaffee Park - How lucky we are to live here!"

I laugh when I read these earlier posts about Chaffee Park. A few years ago, I could see their point of view, however, a lot has changed. During the housing crash, a lot of poorer income owners and renters were forced out by bank foreclosures. That caused a lot of developers to buy the properties low and gut them to remodel. A huge amount of these home have been repurchased by young families and young business people due to the short commute to downtown. Last year (2013) Chaffee Park had one of the lowest crime rates of anywhere in Denver.

Thanks to the amazing neighbors in this hood, there is now a private neighborhood Facebook page with neighborhood events posted on it, ie: Neighborhood Happy Hour. I have friends who have been looking to buy a house in this neighborhood but the houses are selling within days of being posted. The average home rental cost is now around $2000 per month.

I have to say that I am blessed to live in the Chaffee Park Neighborhood.
