Virginia Village includes Ellis Elementary School, Montessori School of Denver, Virginia Village Branch Library, Cook Park Recreation Center, Light of the Nations Church, Denver Christian Bible Church, Salem United Church of Christ, Holly Street Church of Christ, Potter's House Christian Center, Cook Park, and Ash Grove Park. It's main streets include South Colorado Boulevard, South Holly Street, South Monaco Street, South Quebec Street, East Florida Avenue, and East Evans Avenue. It is anchored by the Virginia Village Square stores on South Holly and East Florida. Interstate 25 runs nearby and is easily accessible via Evans and Colorado.
This community is mostly white and includes a large Jewish American population, particularly in it's more affluent, suburban northern and eastern quadrants. The western portion of the neighborhood is occupied by high-density rental units that are home to lower-income residents and has a significant Black and Latin American population.
The northern bord or of Virginia Village is marked by the Cherry Creek River and bicycle trail. This trail provides residents with access to the natural environment but is prone to flooding at certain times of the year. There are convenient stores and gas stations, barber shops and hair salons, restaurants and coffee shops, as well as a few retail stores in the neighborhood that may employ some residents, but I suspect that most residents work outside of the neighborhood, as it is conveniently located near Interstate 25 and the RTD light rail station at Colorado Boulevard.
Virginia Village is currently in the 6th CD, but I could see it fitting well within the 10th CD (to the west) or the 5th CD (to the norht). It is probably too large and too urban for the 4th CD (to the south).
