Alamo Placita Neighbors Association
We strive to protect our quality of life, preserve the historic nature of our neighborhood, and promote a deep sense of community in our neighborhood.
About
Founded in 1984, the Alamo Placita Neighbors Association (APNA) is the official Registered Neighborhood Organization (RNO) with the City and County of Denver for residents residing in the Alamo Placita Neighborhood (see boundaries map at the link above).
There are approximately 1,200 households within the APNA boundaries, and membership is conferred on the basis of residing or operating a business within the neighborhood.
The APNA Board is a volunteer organization that works to foster community engagement through social events, educate residents, and communicate issues that relate to our area of Denver.
We are always looking for more people to get involved and details about the organization and neighborhood events are included on this website. Please feel free to email us with the areas that interest you or general suggestions you may have.
