Location & Amenities to Please the Most Discerning Seniors

The excitement is growing as one of the most desirable retirement communities in the historic DU neighborhood in South Denver takes shape. MorningStar at Observatory Park is located a few blocks from Observatory Park, home to the University of Denver’s beautiful campus and the Chamberlin Observatory. The area is renowned for a striking mix of modern and old architecture, mature trees, lovely gardens, wide streets and grassy lawns as well as the East Harvard Gulch Trail. Eclectic eateries, coffee shops and a brewery line the local streets. 

Incorporated in 1886 as the town of South Denver, the DU neighborhood has a long and storied Colorado history. Originally the land was donated by Rufus "Potato" Clark, a reformed alcoholic and potato farmer, and contained several conditions including planting trees and the laying out of a street grid. He also demanded that no alcohol ever be made or sold in the area, and even today “some home mortgages in south Denver have old covenants against producing or selling alcohol on the premises.”

The University of Denver’s campus is designated as an arboretum and University Hall, constructed in the 1890s, still remains. The Evans Chapel (formerly Grace Methodist Church), is a designated Denver Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Landmarks was built in 1878. 

Our MorningStar at Observatory Park community offers landscaped grounds, an enclosed courtyard with BBQ grill, and rooftop terrace and bocce ball court with spectacular city and mountain views. Onsite amenities include a full salon, massage/therapy room, fitness center, 4th floor Sky Terrace with bocce ball court, 6th floor rooftop green and much more.
