Ask a Denver native about the Sunnyside neighborhood, and odds are likely that you'll just get a blank stare.  Start describing the area you are talking about and you're likely to hear them tell you that you are talking about Highlands.

If Highlands was once the underappreciated neighborhood across the highway from Downtown, then Sunnyside was once the forgotten neighborhood to Highland's north.  Today, Highlands is getting much of the respect it is due, and Sunnyside has assumed the mantel of underappreciated neighborhood.

Bounded by Inca Street on the east and I-70 on the north, Sunnyside sits in the crook of Denver's transportation lifelines.  Federal Boulevard and 38th Avenue round out the area's borders.  Thanks to the fact that neither interstate has an off ramp into Sunnyside, the neighborhood is a community of mostly single-family homes with some industrial and commercial areas to the north and east along existing and former railroad tracks.  The homes in Sunnyside almost universally have yards in both front and back, and mature trees are the norm.

This neighborhood has little in the way of major landmarks, but it does contain two of Denver's best kept secrets in Italian food.  Three Son's Italian Restaurant is a favorite of many a Denver-ite and Gaetano's is known beyond Sunnyside's borders for its pizzas and renowned pizza sauce.  An active neighborhood organization known as SUNI (Sunnyside United Neighbors, Inc) represents area interests.  Unfortunately, many homes in Sunnyside are owned by absentee landlords so patches of run-down houses do exist.  Both the neighborhood association and the City of Denver are working on implementing various plans to help with the issue.

Sunnyside's gathering places include Chaffee Park and the Aztlan Recreation Center with its outdoor swimming pool and indoor basketball court and gymnasium facilities.  The recreation center sits across from the Quigg Newton Center another local facility with a several rooms and offices serving as a contact point for an array of city services and local event.

As a less well known neighborhood home values in the area have appreciated less than in surrounding areas.  Sunnyside definitely isn't for everyone, but may be a good area for someone who wants a nice house but doesn't care about being in a "name-brand" neighborhood.
