Why Berkeley has its own termite considerations
Built for owners of brick cottage and Craftsman bungalow homes near the two lake parks.
Berkeley developed in the 1900s-1920s boom as a northwest Denver streetcar suburb, starting with an early wave of brick "classic cottage" construction — still wood-framed with brick veneer typical of the era.
Later construction added wood-frame Craftsman bungalows.
The neighborhood sits near two neighborhood parks — Berkeley Lake Park and Rocky Mountain Lake Park.
Mixed brick-veneer-cottage and wood-frame-bungalow construction from this era, plus proximity to two lake parks, brings a ground-moisture consideration similar to Sloan’s Lake, though on a smaller scale.
