Cherry Creek is calm and upscale, and among the more reassuring areas in Denver for women on their own. It is quieter at night and more expensive, with downtown a short rideshare away.
Cherry Creek is Denver's upscale shopping and dining district, with designer boutiques, galleries, a large outdoor shopping center and a busy bike and walking path along the creek. It is clean and quiet, with good lighting, patrolling security and one of the safest feels in the city. Evenings are calmer than downtown, with fewer late-night crowds. It suits anyone who wants an easy stay and does not mind paying more. Downtown is about 10 minutes away by rideshare, and nightlife outside the immediate district takes some effort to reach.
