Capitol Hill is a residential area with a bohemian air that is scattered with grand historic homes. Popular sights include the gold-domed Colorado State Capitol and the Victorian-style Molly Brown House Museum, which is furnished with antiques from the era. Along 13th Avenue, there are quirky stores with a punk vibe, and after hours, the area is alive thanks to cool pubs and late-night coffee shops.

Congressional Cemetery, the Marine Barracks, the Washington Navy Yard, the Supreme Court building, the Library of Congress, and the United States Capitol are just a few of the iconic sites on Capitol Hill.

Technically, it is situated in East Denver, which officially begins at Broadway, the western edge of the neighborhood. Many people mistakenly believe that the Cheesman Park neighborhood is a part of Capitol Hill, but according to the city, Cheesman Park is a distinct community. Denver also has a statistically significant neighborhood called North Capitol Hill, which some locals refer to as Uptown. The dividing line between these two neighborhoods is Colfax Avenue.

One of the nicest areas to reside in Colorado is Capitol Hill, which is located in Denver County. The majority of people who live in Capitol Hill rent their homes, which gives the neighborhood a dense urban vibe. There are numerous bars, eateries, coffee shops, and parks on Capitol Hill.

The elite of Denver originally resided in the area and built lavish houses. After the Silver Crash of 1893, Denver's economy slowed, and Capitol Hill building prioritized apartments. Alta Court, which is now an office building, the Hamilton, and the Colonnade are three still-standing examples of this era's architecture. This cultural and demographic transition toward boarding houses and rental properties for the migrant middle class, from single-family mansions to, signaled a shift toward the neighborhood's current dominance of multi-family dwellings.

After World War II, when middle-class families began to emigrate, Capitol Hill ceased to be a steadfastly middle-class area. The majority of those who were abandoned were transients and tenants.

The completion of Interstate 70 marked yet another turning point in Capitol Hill's history. Arriving visitors no longer took East Colfax Avenue as they entered the city. After this ten-year period, East Colfax's reliance on tourism as a source of income was effectively eliminated. Another downward spiral then started. The businesses along East Colfax suffered as well as the demand to visit Capitol Hill when there were no tourists to spend money there.

The neighborhood, which is a well-established residential area with business areas situated along busy streets like Colfax Avenue and Broadway and internal arterials, is situated directly southeast of Denver's Central Business District (CBD) (such as East 13th and 14th Avenues). The Civic Center area and the Colorado State Capitol are to the immediate east of the neighborhood. More than 95% of this neighborhood has been built up. Some of the city's oldest single-family residences were built on average between 1920 and 1930.
