Denver Neighborhoods - Alamo Placita & Belcaro

Alamo Placita

Alamo Placita is one of several popular inner-city denver neighborhoods.  Alamo Placita Park has often been called Denver’s most ideal and most beautiful park. The name "Alamo Placita" commemorates the many cottonwoods that grow naturally in this area. A few of the original and oldest trees can still be found in Alamo Placita Park, throughout the neighborhood. During Denver's urban rediscovery over the last couple of decades, there has been a renewed appreciation and respect for the original architecture in many of Denver's most established neighborhoods.  Alamo Placita offers home buyers a variety of Foursquare's, Bungalow's, Tudor's, and Spanish Mission-style residences.  In recent times, the Denver Landmark Preservation Commission recommended designation of the Alamo Placita Historic District because of the significance of this denver neighborhoods history, and architecture.  Search homes in Alamo Placita.  Search all Denver Homes.
