Overview

Wellshire is a quiet, established neighborhood in south Denver, wrapped around the Wellshire Golf Course. Its curving streets and large lots give it a suburban feel while staying minutes from the University of Denver and I-25, with the High Line Canal Trail running along the course.

Homes You'll Find

Wellshire is almost entirely single-family, with 1950s brick ranches on large lots as the base. The neighborhood also includes a notable pocket of mid-century modern homes and a growing number of original ranches replaced by large new custom homes, especially near the golf course and Wellshire's eastern blocks. Attached homes are rare here.
