Welcome
Welcome to the Cherry Hills Heights Homeowners Association, a covenant controlled neighborhood of 103 unique single family homes located in southeast Denver, Colorado with views of the Rocky Mountains from many of the homes. Built in the early 50's as a custom home community, Cherry Hills Heights has evolved over the years, but the heart of the community remains its family orientation. Because we are next to the Wellshire Golf Course, we are also called the Wellshire Neighborhood.
CHHHA Residents
If you are a CHHHA resident and wish to share your questions, concerns or issues, please email us by clicking on the Contact Us link. If you want to reach a specific Board or Committee member, email links are on the Board Members page. We welcome your thoughts!
CHHHA Neighborhood Covenants and By-Laws
The Cherry Hills Heights Covenants and By-Laws can be accessed here. Residents are legally bound by the covenants of the Homeowners Association. If you are planning an addition or modification to the exterior of your home, your plans must be submitted and approved by the Architectural Committee. For more information, please refer to the submittal check list. Reference the CHHHA map to find out if your property is in our covenant controlled neighborhood.
Southeast Denver Schools
Denver's Slavens K-8 School serves grades PK-8 in the Denver School District #1. It is among the few public schools in Colorado to receive a distinguished GreatSchools rating of 10 out of 10. Join the "Friends of Slavens" to learn more and volunteer. See our News section to read about the construction improvements. Thomas Jefferson High School serves students in grades 9 - 12. Visit the TJ Journal for the school website. In 2011 Ann Rowe (CHHHA resident) was elected as our District #1 Denver School Board member.
Service Providers List
The CHH Garden Club has created a list of workmen who have provided good service and are recommended. Visit the "Service Providers" page to see who we have liked working on our homes and landscapes. If you would like to add or delete contacts from this list, please Contact Us.
Cherry Hills Heights Garden Club is now "The Club"
The CHH Garden Club has morphed into a purely social club called "The Club". No more dues...no more rules...just good company, good food and fun. The original CHH Garden Club began more than 50 years ago. If you would like more information, please Contact Us.
"Go Slower" Program
The "official" speed limit in this neighborhood is 25 MPH, but many drivers exceed that limit without even thinking. The "Go Slower" campaign is designed to lower the speed of traffic within neighborhoods by asking drivers to make a conscious effort to slow down. We would like to have individuals get involved and create a program similar to the one in Greenwood Village at Go Slower. Our neighborhood has formed a Traffic Committee to research this issue. You can find information about the Traffic Committee on the "Board of Directors" page. If you want to get involved please contact Ted.
Home Values
Zillow.com is an online real estate tool that attempts to estimate home values (use at your own risk) and provides information on properties for sale, recent sales, etc.

Coyotes have become quite a problem in southeast Denver as reported in these Denver Post articles: 2/23/2009 and 12/29/2010.

If you see a coyote on the Wellshire Golf Course, also call the course superintendent, Gregg Blew, at 303-692-5636, option 5 (turf grass maintenance facility).
