A neighborhood that's been quietly perfecting itself for sixty years.
We don't pretend Richmond Park is the only good neighborhood in Colorado — only that it has aged with unusual grace. The blocks immediately around the building hold three independent coffee houses, two restaurants we've eaten at weekly for years, and a hardware store whose owner still cuts keys by hand.
These are not paid placements. They are the places residents return to.
Single-origin pour-overs and a quiet upstairs reading room. Ask for Marcus and order whatever Ethiopian he just opened.
A 36-seat dining room with a daily-changing menu. The bar takes walk-ins; the dining room books two weeks out.
Used and rare. Edgar passed in 2019; his daughter Anne runs the shop now and keeps better hours than he did.
One loaf, one croissant, one cinnamon roll. They open at six and are usually sold out by ten.
Twelve paved miles along the creek, accessible from the building's east gate. Good for slow walks and faster bicycles.
A 220-seat repertory theater fifteen minutes east. Their winter Chekhov is consistently the best ticket in the metro.
