When families move up in price point, the conversation changes.
Bedroom count still matters. Storage still matters. Layout still matters. But what we see in real advisory conversations is that people are not just buying square footage. They are buying how they want to live.
They want mornings that feel easier.
They want space that does not feel tight.
They want streets that are quiet enough to relax on.
They want restaurants nearby without living in the middle of noise.
The questions become bigger.
Is this somewhere we will still feel good about in five or ten years?
Does the neighborhood support the lifestyle this house promises?
Can we grow here without outgrowing it?
In our experience working with move-up buyers across northwest Denver, the right decision is rarely about one feature. It is about alignment. The house, the block, the parks, the commute, the long-term track record. When those pieces fit together, the decision feels steady instead of rushed.
Increasingly, Regis fits that description.
A Decade of Real, Measurable Growth
All statistics in this article are derived from closed MLS sales of single-family houses within the MLS-defined Regis neighborhood, comparing calendar year 2016 to the most recent 12 months as of February 2026.
Closed sales analyzed:
• 2016: 222 houses
• Most recent 12 months: 129 houses
Over that ten-year span, house values increased approximately 67%.
Price per square foot increased approximately 46% during the same period.
These figures are based on actual closed transactions, not list prices or automated valuation models.
As active Denver Metro advisors, we care less about a single strong year and more about durability across cycles. This ten-year period included expansion, contraction, pandemic acceleration, normalization, and segmentation. Growth that persists through multiple conditions signals structural demand rather than temporary momentum.
If a household plans to own for seven to ten years, decade-level performance provides more clarity than short-term headlines.
The Home Within That Context
Within that broader track record sits a five-bedroom, four-bath home built in 2017. Introducing 5101 Quitman St. Denver, 80212
It offers something that can be difficult to find this close to central Denver: modern construction that does not feel temporary or compressed onto its lot.
The main level is open without feeling oversized. Real wood floors bring warmth. Oversized windows introduce natural light throughout the day. The kitchen centers around a large island and a 36-inch cooktop designed for daily function as well as entertaining.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers genuine separation. Dual walk-in closets and a spacious shower streamline everyday routines. Additional bedrooms flex naturally for children, guests, or dedicated work-from-home space.
The finished basement adds meaningful square footage without feeling like an afterthought. Media space, gym, guest area, storage. It adapts as life evolves.
The overall feel is established and intentional rather than speculative.

A Neighborhood That Lives Well
Regis sits approximately 4 miles northwest of downtown Denver with direct access to I-70.
That location works.
Mountain access is straightforward.
Downtown commutes remain manageable.
Daily life stays residential.
But what stands out most is how naturally outdoor access integrates into the neighborhood.
• Inspiration Point Park offers elevated views and playground space.
• Clear Creek Trail connects roughly 20 miles of biking and walking paths.
• Willis Case Golf Course provides open views and public tee times.
• Colorado Outward Bound School reinforces the outdoor-oriented identity of the area.
Outdoor access is woven into daily life here.
Close to Activity, Not Inside It
The corridor around 50th and Lowell has matured into a comfortable neighborhood hub.
Places like:
• The Noshery
• Dubbel Dutch
• El Taco Veloz
• Goldspot Brewing Company
• Rocky Top Tavern
It feels active without feeling compressed. Residents can walk to dinner or grab a drink without living inside a nightlife district.
Regis increasingly offers that middle ground many move-up buyers quietly prioritize.
Why Move-Up Buyers Are Paying Attention
When we evaluate move-up neighborhoods with clients, we generally look at three structural factors:
-
Long-term price history
-
Infrastructure and outdoor access
-
Ongoing reinvestment
Regis checks those boxes.
It has documented decade-long price growth.
It has built-in park and trail systems.
It continues to see thoughtful renovation and modern construction without losing neighborhood cohesion.
For households entering the upper tier of the neighborhood, that established track record matters. Choosing an area that has already demonstrated durable demand tends to feel different than choosing one still proving itself.
Regis has matured.
For the right household, it offers space, access, calm, and a neighborhood with evidence behind it.
