About Hilltop Reserve Senior Living
Hilltop Reserve Senior Living is a senior living community at 525 South Holly Street in the Hilltop neighborhood of Denver, offering independent living, assisted living, and memory care on one campus. Opened in 2022 and operated by Colorado-based Ascent Living Communities, it is one of Denver's newest senior communities, a large, amenity-rich building of 205 residences on a 4.4-acre site next to Crestmoor Park.
The community runs a full continuum so residents can adjust their support over time. Independent living offers 124 apartments for an active, maintenance-free lifestyle; assisted living adds 56 apartments with help for daily routines; and the Monarch House memory care neighborhood provides 25 secured suites for residents living with dementia. Between independent and memory care sits a program called Bridge to Belonging, a structured cognitive-support option for residents with mild memory changes who are not yet ready for full memory care.
Dining is built like a small hospitality district: the Ellsworth Supper Club handles elegant evening meals, the Fairfax Bistro covers casual dining, and the 525 Clubhouse is a social gathering spot, all fed by an exhibition kitchen with wood-fired ovens, a rotisserie, and beer, wine, and kombucha on tap. The Holly Club fitness and aquatics center centers on a heated saltwater indoor pool with water aerobics, therapy, and yoga, and residents also have the Bellaire Salon and Spa, a movie theater, and scheduled transportation.
Apartments come with fireplaces, balconies, floor-to-ceiling windows, and in-unit laundry, and AUGi fall-detection technology adds a layer of safety. Hilltop Reserve fits families who want a brand-new, full-continuum community with resort-style dining and wellness in an established Denver neighborhood. It is private pay, so Medicaid is not accepted, and the community welcomes dogs and cats. The building is also a sustainability landmark: it is the first LEED Gold-certified senior living community in Colorado, with rooftop solar generating a meaningful share of its power.
The Hilltop location keeps essentials close, with Crestmoor Park immediately east, the Cherry Creek North shopping and dining district minutes west, and Rose Medical Center about two and a half miles away for hospital care, with National Jewish Health nearby and Colorado Boulevard and the Leetsdale corridor providing quick access across the metro. Under Ascent Living Communities, Hilltop Reserve combines a 2022 build, a full independent-living-through-memory-care continuum with the Bridge to Belonging cognitive program, and a resort-grade dining and aquatics program, in a leafy, well-connected part of east Denver.
