Denver's grande dame neighborhood since the 1940s — Tudors, ranches, and contemporary estates between Cherry Creek and Cranmer Park. Represented by a team that pairs live MLS data with the working knowledge of agents who close here.

The Hilltop Difference
By the time a luxury home shows up on Zillow, it's been on the MLS for hours — and in Hilltop, where inventory is small and demand is steady, that head start matters. Plenty of homes here change hands before they ever reach the public market at all.
Public real estate portals pull from the MLS on a lag. By the time a new Hilltop listing appears on Zillow® or Realtor.com®, it has typically already been shown — and sometimes already taken.
A real percentage of homes in Hilltop trade hands through private channels. Owners here tend to be well-connected; listing agents test interest with their networks long before a sign goes in the yard.
Direct MLS access, filtered by a team with deep working knowledge of every street in Hilltop and the agent relationships that move homes here. The result: you see properties earlier, and you see the right ones.

The Neighborhood
Hilltop isn't just an address. It's a square mile of established Denver, anchored by a landmark park, a world-class shopping district, and one of the city's most coveted paired neighborhoods.
The heart of Hilltop. The flagstone sundial promenade, the Front Range panorama, and an open meadow where the neighborhood gathers — all walking distance from most of the homes.
Explore the park →Steps west of Hilltop's border: 160-plus shops at Cherry Creek Shopping Center, the dining and gallery walks of Cherry Creek North, and the bike trail that follows the creek across the city.
See what's nearby →The paired neighborhood immediately east. Crestmoor Park for the families, the Crestmoor Swim & Tennis Club for the members, and a continuous luxury market that buyers often consider alongside Hilltop.

Selling In Hilltop
The luxury norm in Denver is a six-percent commission and a marketing playbook recycled from one listing to the next. We've built our practice the other way around: editorial-grade marketing, principal-level attention, and a fee structure that returns real equity to the seller.

What Our Clients Say
From the very first meeting, the Principal Team displayed a deep knowledge of the Denver real estate market and provided us with a comprehensive strategy to sell our home. They were always available to answer our questions, proactive in marketing our property with professional photography and targeted advertising, and went above and beyond to secure a fantastic offer.
David and Tom did a fantastic job selling our home. They were very professional and responded quickly to every question. We were out-of-state selling our home, which adds complexity, but with the system that David and Tom have, the sale was quick and easy. We had an accepted offer within a few days and closed within a month.
We have been working with David Lampe for 5 years and are very satisfied. This is our sixth real estate contract with David. His performance is consistently excellent. He quickly finds a solution to any problem and is very efficient with every aspect of the sale.

Frequently Asked
The fastest way is through a real-time MLS-direct search rather than public portals like Zillow, which can lag actual MLS listings by hours or days. The Principal Team provides concierge home search with continuously refreshed Hilltop listings, plus access to off-market and pre-MLS opportunities when available.
Hilltop is known for architectural diversity — Tudors, English Cottages, Mediterranean Revival, Mid-Century Modern ranches, and contemporary estate-scale new construction. The neighborhood developed primarily between the 1930s and 1960s, with significant infill construction since 2000 producing larger contemporary homes on the original lots.
Hilltop home prices span a wide range. Smaller original ranches and bungalows typically list from approximately $900K to $1.5M. Mid-range single-family homes generally fall between $1.5M and $3M. New construction and estate-scale homes — particularly along 6th Avenue Parkway and adjacent to Cranmer Park — frequently exceed $3M, with the upper end approaching and exceeding $6M for prime sites. We can send a current market snapshot on request.
Hilltop is in central-east Denver, bordered by Colorado Boulevard on the west, 6th Avenue on the north, Alameda Avenue on the south, and an irregular eastern boundary running roughly along Quebec Street. The neighborhood is approximately one square mile and immediately adjacent to Cherry Creek, Crestmoor, and Hale.
The Principal Team combines concierge-level service, direct MLS access, off-market visibility, and white-glove transaction coordination, with a listing commission structure that's more competitive than most luxury brokerages. The result is more service for buyers and more equity preserved for sellers.
When available, yes. Through our network of luxury agents and active relationships with Hilltop and Crestmoor homeowners, we routinely share pre-MLS and off-market opportunities with concierge clients ahead of public listings.
