November in Berkeley & Beyond
Heidi Hunts Homes — November in Berkeley
Laid-back luxury meets local living — your insider guide to Denver real estate, lifestyle, and design..
Event of the Month: Art + Culture Season
Tennyson Street First Friday Art Walk — Nov 1
Berkeley’s signature night out. Galleries, pop-ups, and patio music spill onto Tennyson for one of the most walkable evenings in the city.
Start at Mago Gallery, swing through Berkeley Supply, and end with a cocktail at Huckleberry Roasters’ evening pop-up.
Denver Arts Week — Nov 7–16
A city-wide celebration of creativity, with Tennyson, RiNo, and the Santa Fe Arts District all in full swing.
Think open studios, live music, and late-night gallery hours — the perfect way to feel Denver’s creative pulse before the holidays hit.
🎟️ Pro tip: Start local in Berkeley, then head downtown to catch the energy citywide.
Local Gem: Hey Kiddo
If Berkeley had a signature dinner spot, Hey Kiddo would be it — where moody lighting meets culinary artistry.
It’s intimate but approachable, with design details that feel like an editorial spread: muted tones, brass accents, and the kind of texture you notice even before the first sip of wine.
The menu changes with the season — the vibe never does.
Home Tip of the Month: Vintage Meets Modern
Here’s an underrated design move: mix eras intentionally.
A single vintage piece — like a sculptural lamp or Danish teak sideboard from Mid Mod Mall — can make an otherwise new build feel rooted, layered, and personal.
The goal isn’t perfection; it’s patina — that subtle sense that a space evolved, not staged overnight.
Start small: one statement vintage find can transform the feel (and photos) of a room.
Just Sold: 754 S York Street — $2.91 Million
This Wash Park masterpiece marked a milestone — my largest sale to date.
A ground-up build by one of Denver’s most respected local builders, blending clean modern lines with warm, livable design.
From pre-listing strategy to final negotiation, it was a study in timing, presentation, and precision — the kind of sale that reminds me why I love being in this market at this level.
Wash Park continues to set the standard for Denver luxury — and this one raised the bar again.
Something New is Coming
There’s a project in the works — a rebrand, a redesign, and something a little unexpected.
Think modern lines, local soul, and just enough edge to feel different.
It’s still under wraps, but trust me… you’ll want to see what’s next.
Market Snapshot: November 2025
Rates are hovering mid-6s, inventory has loosened slightly, and buyers are making moves before year-end.
Berkeley and Wash Park are both holding strong, especially for homes with thoughtful architecture and design-forward details.
Sellers who stage with intention are still commanding premium prices — even in a “balanced” market.
My take? Winter is the new pre-spring. Prep now, list smart, and step into 2026 with momentum.
From My Desk
This fall has been about alignment — great clients, creative deals, and homes that feel like they were meant for their next chapters.
Denver’s market continues to reward preparation, design, and storytelling — three things I’ll always lead with.
And as we head into the holiday season, I’m grateful for everyone who’s been part of this year’s growth.
