Buying Your First Home in Sunnyside
Sunnyside is a quiet, tree-lined northwest Denver neighborhood full of classic brick bungalows, old Victorians and a real community feel. It sits right next to the Highlands, so you're close to the restaurants without paying Highlands prices.
What $500K buys in Sunnyside
Right now, 2 bedroom homes in Sunnyside average around $575K. So at $500K you're usually looking at a duplex half, a townhome or a smaller single-family home that may need some love. Single-family homes do pop up near $500K, especially after a price drop.
Real example: In October 2026, I sent one of my buyers an 1891 brick Victorian in Sunnyside listed at $500K, with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, central air and a detached garage. It started out closer to $600K and came down over the summer, which is a good reminder that list price is a starting point, not the final word.

Good to know
Prices can change a lot from block to block here, and many of the homes are well over 100 years old. I'll walk you through exactly why one home is priced the way it is, and we'll make sure your inspection takes a close look at the older systems like the sewer line, electrical and foundation.
