Investors should always have a Buy box.

👀Park Hill golf course is no more - welcome Denver’s 4th largest public park coming summer of 2025 ☀️This 155 acre plot of land will now be home to picnic tables, walking trails, and other temporary features 🥾The biggest gripe I hear about buying in the city, is not enough accessibility to outdoor spaces, too clustered, etc.
