Discover a slice of upscale tranquility, where luxury meets a serene, country-like charm.
Cherry Hills Village is one of the most prestigious residential communities in Colorado, known for its luxurious homes, expansive lots, and serene atmosphere. Nestled just south of Denver, this affluent enclave offers an exclusive suburban retreat while maintaining easy access to the city's amenities. With tree-lined streets, stunning mountain views, and a commitment to open space preservation, Cherry Hills Village is a haven for those seeking privacy, elegance, and a strong sense of community. The area is particularly attractive to high-net-worth individuals, families, and professionals who value both tranquility and convenience.
Cherry Hills Village emerged in the late 1930s as a semi-rural enclave of “country homes” south of Denver, anchored by Cherry Hills Country Club (founded 1922 and designed by noted golf architect William S. Flynn). Early civic organization coalesced through the Cherry Hills Improvement Association to resist commercialization and protect large-lot residential character. Following World War II, residents—led by figures such as J. Churchill Owen—petitioned for self-governance; an election in June 1945 approved incorporation, with Joseph F. Little selected as the first mayor and Louesa Bromfield as clerk. The new town immediately enacted zoning that prioritized low density and open space, establishing the identity still evident today.
Key founders, planners, and early leaders
J. Churchill Owen (civic leader spearheading incorporation) and the first Board of Trustees (including Caldwell Martin, Edna B. Catron, Albert S. Brooks, J.H.K. Martin, Paul Spencer, Earl Loser) set the governance and zoning framework in 1945. Judge Henry M. Teller appointed commissioners to conduct the incorporation election. Landscape planner Saco R. (Saco Rienk) DeBoer was retained in the late 1940s to guide growth while preserving the semi-rural character.
Landmark estates and institutional anchors
The Village cultivates an intentionally quiet, semi-rural lifestyle: large lots, equestrian traditions, and trail access (notably the High Line Canal) define daily life. Municipal policy historically eschews commercial centers, reinforcing a residential, open-space character with an emphasis on community programming rather than retail-driven placemaking.
