City Park West is a district of mostly single-family homes, small apartment buildings, and one very large hospital complex. The center of the district features the medical facilities of Presbyterian/St. Luke's Hospital, St. Joseph's Hospital, and a number of other medical office buildings and related facilities. 

Like many of Denver's Center City districts, City Park West is experiencing a number of smaller, multi-family infill projects  on vacant or underutilized lots in among the mature landscape and classic early-20th century homes for which the district is known.  Also, the stretch of East Colfax along City Park West's southern boundary is showing evidence of new vitality and investment with great potential for additional infill projects along that important commercial corridor.
