Highlands

Berkeley is great Highland neighborhood in Denver for finding traditional single family homes along quiet, safe, and relatively walkable streets. It offers a vibrant hub of high end dining and boutiques along the iconic Tennyson Street.
Berkeley is also home to Berkeley Lake Park and Rocky Mountain Lake Park, which makes it a great place to live in Denver if you enjoy the outdoors or have a dog. Plus, it’s close to I-70, giving you easy access for day trips from Denver to the Rocky Mountains on weekends.

Lower Highland (“LoHi”)

Best for: anyone who can afford it!
Lower Highland (or “LoHi”) technically isn’t an official neighborhood, though its called one by Denver Colorado locals, so you may find some confusion around terms here. Whatever you call it, this is undoubtedly one of the most expensive Denver neighborhoods – and for good reason. LoHi is situated just across the I-95 footbridge from LoDo, but offers a more traditional neighborhood feel with lots of single family units, green and leafy streets, and some of the best restaurants and dining options in Denver.
Rounding out the Highland neighborhoods Denver features on this list, Sunnyside is a great neighborhood where several of my friends live. There are lots of spacious single family homes, and many offer expansive yards and friendly front porches. The streets are wide, clean, and covered in greenery. Along 38th Avenue you’ll a few solid restaurants and local businesses. Plus, you’re just over the bridge from RiNo, LoDo, and all that downtown offers

The Edgy Hipster
Apartments in Five Points appeal to the edgy hipster who rides a bike, rocks a mom-heart forearm tattoo and owns a collection of record albums which include old jazz, Grateful Dead and Wu-Tang. It’s a melting pot of historical culture and modern vibes. The jazz heavy neighborhood known as “Harlem of the West” can be a little rough around the edges, but it holds a deep richness that comes from being one of the oldest areas of the city. Five Points is diverse with artists, musicians, warehouses, industrial lofts, breweries, underground music shows and much more.

Every city has their hipster area and, located just north of LoDo and Five Points, the River North Art District (or RiNo for short) is Denver’s. Like most hipster hangouts, this industrial neighborhood is the result of gentrification and sports all the usual flowers and scars of that process. Neighborhood haunts include a growing number of coffeeshops like Lekker Coffee and Blue Sparrow, as well as creative examples of adaptive reuse like The Source, all while still (for now) maintaining a few of its old-school businesses and slightly rough edges.
The vibe here is young, creative, cool, and social with a plethora of hip shops, colorful street art murals, tons of bars, quirky (and good) restaurants, and cheaper rent. The average rent here comes in at around $1,859. The RiNo is fairly walkable, though as a warehouse district it’s a bit barren and sketchy, especially at night — and there is no RTD service — so you’ll most likely need a car.

Rentals in Capitol Hill are perfect for the hip kids who enjoy dense city living with people from all walks of life. This is someone who is open to the richness and grit of urban living while truly exploring Denver life by placing themselves directly in one of the cultural hubs of the city. This neighborhood is one of the oldest in Denver, but attracts a young and fresh crowd who enjoys a fast pace neighborhood filled with art, music, indie shops and restaurants. It’s also a neighborhood that accepts all lifestyles as it’s one of the most LGBT-friendly in town.

The Center Of Attention
You know that one person that gets all the ‘likes’ because they’re always in the middle of the action doing cool things? Well that’s who you'll find living in Downtown Denver. Downtown Denver or more specifically, Lower Downtown (LoDo) is the spot where residents from all the other neighborhoods come to visit on nights out. So it’s no wonder why it gets so much lime light. This action-packed neighborhood is in the heart of the city where most businesses, restaurants, bars and shopping take place. The metropolitans who live here enjoy the fast city life, being close to work, walking distance to nearly everything and all the fun events that the city puts on. The historic buildings here are built with Victorian elegance, but you’ll find many of them trendy with modern interiors. This is almost a metaphor for the neighborhood itself; it’s the oldest in Denver, but also the most lively and fresh.

Known as LoDo, The Mile High City’s Lower Downtown Historic District is both the original city of Denver, as well as its oldest neighborhood. It’s bustling 25 square blocks are packed with nearly 100 restaurants, clubs, galleries, and shops. This north-central Denver ‘hood lies directly northwest of the downtown Central Business District (CBD), near the confluence of Cherry Creek and the South Platte River. It’s conveniently located near the University of Colorado Denver, the city’s River North Art District (RiNo), and two major sporting venues: Coors Field, where the Colorado Rockies play, and Pepsi Center, which is home to the Denver Nuggets (NBA), Colorado Avalanche (NHL), and Colorado Mammoth (NLL).
Since it’s a historic district, there’s plenty of preserved architecture among contemporary builds. Coors Field brought a serious housing boom to the area. Old warehouses were transformed into pricey new lofts while new apartment builds sport rooftop decks, pools, recreation rooms, and more. With additions such as the Denver Milk Market food hall, and a new mega-development, now under construction across the street from the baseball stadium, the area’s growth has no end in sight.

Cheesman Park borders Capitol Hill and Colfax so it does brush with the more urban city vibes but it’s got a much quieter suburban feel than its neighbor. Its high rise buildings make it a great place if you’re looking for a view of greenery and the park itself is one of the most popular in Denver. This neighborhood has that well rounded personality great for exercise and reading a book in the park balanced with friendly neighborhood pizza shops and quaint cocktail bars.

Encompassing more green space than urban blocks, City Park fell off our list in recent years. But the centrally located neighborhood is back—and rounding out our top 10—thanks to a nearly 12 percent upswing in average home sale prices and rising popularity (the area’s Denver Squares and smattering of new builds are moving the third-fastest in the city). The only school is middle-of-the-pack, but architecturally striking, East High School. That’s not a concern for City Park residents, who are more focused on the amenities, from the Denver Museum of Nature & Science (DMNS) and Denver Zoo—both within the park’s boundaries—to a bevy of restaurants and nearby music venues, like the Bluebird Theater. It’s also a straight shot to downtown or Five Points, by bike or car.

We’re not surprised that the secret is finally out about this south-central neighborhood. Locals have long recognized there’s a lot to love about Platt Park. The tree-lined blocks of South Pearl Street, its main drag, host a farmers’ market, well-attended food and music festivals, and a plethora of fabulous eateries and boutiques. Surrounding the charming commercial hub is a quiet, but not too quiet, neighborhood of Craftsman bungalows, modern renos, and Tudors that stretch all the way to Broadway, a funky corridor where there’s always something happening. With I-25 running across its north end, a nearby light rail station, and a modest green space to call its own, Platt Park fulfills the location, location, location adage while providing access to two high-achieving schools and big-city amenities in a serener setting.

Urban gem Congress Park’s leafy streets are populated with well-appointed, single-family Denver Squares, Queen Annes, and bungalows. Bike lanes along East Seventh Avenue Parkway and 12th Avenue, plus numerous bus stops, make commuting easy (Congress Park sits about three miles west of downtown). Plus, Teller Elementary School—one of two schools in the neighborhood—earned top ratings from the district. The compact, namesake green space is the main gathering place, but for a residential, family-friendly district, Congress Park also has plenty of local businesses to support, including the emerging offerings across Colorado Boulevard in the 9th and Colorado development.
