CORY MERRILL

A welcoming and well-connected community within the fabric of Denver's diverse urban landscape.

Cory-Merrill stands as a distinctive residential neighborhood, particularly attractive to those who desire a suburban lifestyle while maintaining proximity to the dynamic offerings of Denver. Strategically located just east of Washington Park and south of Bonnie Brae, this tranquil community boasts a prime location, excellent schools, diverse architectural landscape and spacious lots. The neighborhood's charm is further enhanced by tree-lined streets and beautifully manicured front yards, creating a picturesque setting.

 

Cory-Merrill's development has roots in the post-World War II era when real estate developer Les Tremblay played a pivotal role. After the war, Tremblay acquired numerous lots in the area and constructed tract homes specifically for returning military personnel. These homes, characterized by their smaller size and often featuring bungalow and ranch-style architecture, served as a prevalent housing type in Cory-Merrill during the mid-20th century.

 

Today, the neighborhood’s architecture is transitioning. While there remains a mix of mid-century ranches and the distinctive homes built by Les Tremblay, there's a noticeable shift towards larger custom-built homes with significant yards. This architectural evolution reflects a contemporary trend in Cory-Merrill, blending the charm of historical structures with modern residences, showcasing a diverse and dynamic housing environment in this well-established community.

Cory-Merrill's prime location is strategically designed to offer residents unparalleled convenience. Bounded by University Boulevard to the west, I-25 to the south, Colorado Boulevard to the east, and Mississippi Avenue to the north, the neighborhood provides easy access to many Denver neighborhoods and attractions. Residents can easily hop on I-25 for a straightforward commute or utilize the RTD Light Rail system to simplify their travel. Additionally, a short car or bike ride brings residents to vibrant Cherry Creek North or South Gaylord Street, where they can explore a wealth of recreational, culinary and cultural offerings. Cory-Merrill's central location not only contributes to the ease of commuting but also provides residents with the flexibility to immerse themselves diverse experiences throughout the city.

 

This extraordinary locale stands out for its exceptional public schools, adding to the neighborhood's appeal. The presence of Cory Elementary School and Merrill Middle School enhances the community's educational profile, as both institutions are highly regarded for their academic programs and strong community involvement. This makes Cory-Merrill an attractive choice for those seeking a neighborhood with a commitment to quality education and a supportive learning environment.

 

A distinctive feature of Cory-Merrill is the presence of the Archdiocese of Denver and St. John Vianney Theological Seminary. This 40-acre property adds a unique character to the neighborhood, providing residents with the opportunity to enjoy leisurely walks and bike rides around the beautifully landscaped grounds. The serene and well-maintained environment of this area adds to the overall charm of Cory-Merrill, offering residents a peaceful retreat within their own community.

 

For those seeking an ideal blend of suburban comfort, excellent education options, and easy access to neighboring cultural hubs, Cory-Merrill stands out as a welcoming and well-connected community within the fabric of Denver's diverse urban landscape.
