PLATTE PARK
Locals have long recognized there’s a lot to love about Platt Park. The tree-lined blocks of South Pearl Street, its main drag, host a farmers’ market, well-attended food and music festivals, and a plethora of fabulous eateries and boutiques. Surrounding the charming commercial hub is a quiet, neighborhood of Craftsman bungalows, modern renos, and Tudors that stretch all the way to Broadway, a funky corridor where there’s always something happening. – 5280 Magazine
