BONNIE BRAE/BELCARO
Winding streets meander through mature landscaping and casually elegant homes in this urban enclave.

The neighborhood's business district includes the iconic Bonnie Brae Ice Cream Parlor, a wine shop and several restaurants. To the north, Belcaro takes its name from the mansion built by Lawrence Phipps, a U.S. Senator who represented Colorado from 1919-1931. Phipps, who developed much of the area named his home 'Belcaro' but today it is more commonly known as the Phipps Mansion. This area has many ranch-style homes on large lots.
