Neighborhoods
This is a long-time favorite for first-timers and locals alike. It’s Colorado’s most densely populated neighborhood, so there are plenty of people around and a lot of bars and restaurants to enjoy. It has an eclectic mix of people to keep the days and nights interesting. Cap Hill as it’s known to locals, stretches north to south from around East Colfax (15th) to 6th Avenue, and west to east from the capitol building to Cheesman Park. But anywhere south to Speer and west to Colorado Boulevard is good living and basically the same neighborhood. Though you’ll have distinct areas like Cheesman Park, Congress Park or Governor’s Park, which are technically their own ‘hoods. (uncovercolorado.com)

The Highlands, also referred to singularly as Highland (less common), is a sweet spot to live. The neighborhood has a more residential/suburb feel to it, but still includes vibrant sections of nightlife and dining spread throughout. Some of the most popular clusters of bars are Highland Square at 32nd Avenue, and Tennyson Street starting at 38th going north to 46th Ave. The region is named so because it’s raised up on a hillside overlooking the city.
The whole area is historically just called North Denver, and some long time residents still honor this name. Small subsections of the Highlands region include the Lower Highland (LoHi), which is the southern start at Platte Street, bordering the South Platte River and Lower Downtown, as well as Sunnyside and Berkeley on the northern edge by I-70. West Highland leads to the western boundary on Sheridan Blvd. I-25 marks the east and south sides of the Highlands.

Baker is defined by its hub of Broadway street, which runs one-way south from downtown. The neighborhood begins to the north at 6th Avenue (not quite reaching downtown), bordering Lincoln Ave to the east and I-25 to the west.
Several blocks of North Broadway exist in Baker before transitioning into South Broadway. Both of which are lined with a colorful set of shops and restaurants.
In-between Downtown and Baker lie the neighborhoods of Lincoln Park (west side) and the Golden Triangle (east side). Residents also call their neighborhood South Broadway as it’s more well known than Baker, or even SoBro or SoBo if you’re feeling hip. (uncovercolorado.com)

Follow its namesake Cherry Creek southeast from Downtown on Speer Boulevard and you’ll quickly reach the ritzy neighborhood of Cherry Creek. This upscale place to live and visit shares a lot in common with Cap Hill with its living advantages, as it more or less borders it in the southeast corner. There are a mix of apartments and homes to rent, with some of the city’s most luxurious residences tucked away on its streets.
The Cherry Creek Mall at Speer Boulevard marks the southern end of the neighborhood. Colorado Boulevard is its east side. We’ll call 6th Avenue its northern border and University Avenue its west side. The heart of the ‘hood is between 1st and 3rd Avenue, and University and Steele St. This is Denver’s most iconic luxury shopping area, known as Cherry Creek North. (uncovercolorado.com)

Downtown is divided into two regions: the Central Business District (CBD) and Lower Downtown (LoDo). Both feature a plethora of high rise apartment buildings, which come at a staggering cost for their convenience. The eastern edge of Downtown Denver is mostly lined by North Broadway, though Park Ave also forms its northeastern edge. The northern cap is the South Platte River by Confluence Park. Speer Boulevard forms its western edge and Colfax Avenue to the south.
The CBD is by far more business-minded, with a much less crazy nightlife and sleepy bar scene. The 16th Street Mall, an outdoor promenade of shopping and dining, connects the blocks of the CBD and LoDo via a free bus ride. This complimentary RTD service picks up and drops off passengers on every block, heading both north and south on 16th. It starts by the capitol building and ends in LoDo at Union Station.

LoDo, which is north of the CBD, starts somewhere around Lawrence Avenue. It’s all Downtown Denver so it pretty much doesn’t matter. This is the city’s most popular nightlife spot. After hours it’s full of what some call bros, chugging IPAs and acting a fool. During the day it’s got your typical men and women in business casual and formal attire heading to their day jobs. Some apartments in LoDo, especially around the ballpark have a reputation for a younger party crowd. (uncovercolorado.com)

Where artists go, people follow. River North (RiNo to locals) was originally an industrial neighborhood within the larger Five Points area, filled with warehouses, factories, and auto repair shops. Artists were drawn to the grittiness and began to set up shop in downtown Denver’s northeast end. In 2005, the River North Art District was born—and the area’s transformation into a creative hub began. Today, RiNo is home to some of the city’s best restaurants, breweries, bars, galleries, and boutiques (and even a karaoke bar). Rino is energetic. Graffiti-covered facades and alleyways create a sense of cohesion between the new builds and more run-down structures. There’s something for almost anyone in RiNo, so expect to mingle with a cross-section of Denver’s growing population. (5280.com)

Wash Park, as its known for short, is one of Denver’s longtime best places to live. It runs north to south from around Speer Boulevard to I-25. We’ll call Lincoln Avenue its western border and Colorado Boulevard its eastern edge. The houses in this old neighborhood are some of the most expensive in the city. If you want sunny suburb life in the heart of the city, this is it.
The highlight of the neighborhood is its namesake, Washington Park. With its lush grass, multiple lakes and surrounding track, it’s easily the best, if not one of the best, city parks in Denver. Its expansive lawn sprawls on and on, littered with nature-loving locals all year, enjoying the outdoor life Denver is so well known for.
