Old South Gaylord’s boutiques, patios, and institutions like Bonnie Brae Ice Cream anchor the dining scene, with cozy cafes such as Wash Perk, independent fitness studios, and the Wash Park Rec Center nearby; Cherry Creek Shopping Center and its upscale retailers sit just to the north. Expect four true seasons with plenty of sunshine. Recent Zillow Market Trends show a median asking rent around $2,600, with most rentals ranging roughly $1,900–$3,800 depending on size and finish. The neighborhood attracts a mix of professionals and young families, is notably pet friendly, and offers quick access to I-25 and bus routes on Downing and University, plus walkable blocks and laid-back evenings.
