Downtown Denver Neighborhoods: A Recipe for All

The Colonel may have had 11 herbs and spices, but Downtown Denver has just as many personalities. Maybe Denver has adopted the philosophy that variety is the spice of life, or maybe you could say that Denver, an urban community consisting of eleven distinct neighborhoods, is the city that just keeps reinventing and renewing itself.

Ballpark

Where you’ll find funky warehouses near Coors Field, the city’s best flea and farmer’s markets, and the gambit of homes. Because Ballpark’s rail yard history makes it ideal for classic loft conversions, most of the original warehouses have been stripped and updated into converted lofts. New construction and apartments are in abundance, and many more are planned here, guaranteeing continued growth and development. Where in the world is Ballpark? The historic district is between 19th and 27th streets, and Wazee and Arapahoe streets in the 80217 zip code.

Capitol Hill

The neighborhood that offers the city’s widest range in housing types and price ranges, and the most densely populated downtown neighborhood. Think high-rise apartments and single-family homes, apartments in historic mansions, and lofts in renovated commercial buildings. Commercial buildings have been transformed into mixed-use housing projects, and vacant lots have given rise to new construction housing developments. Where in the world is Capitol Hill? Broadway, Downing Street, Colfax Avenue, and Seventh Avenue. Although it’s frequently lumped in, the Cheesman Park neighborhood is separate from Capitol Hill.

Curtis Park

Super accessible to everything metropolitan and beyond, it’s the oldest residential neighborhood in the city. You’ll find single story duplexes next door to recently renovated grand Victorian mansions. Denver’s flat-roofed row homes stand proudly beside classic, two-story Denver Square brick houses, and Denver’s ubiquitous Queen Anne-style homes with second floor porches. Where in the world in Curtis Park? Loosely speaking, Curtis Park boundaries are Broadway and Downing Streets, and 23rd and 38th Streets.

Central Platte Valley

Called the frontier neighborhood between the river and I-25, the Valley was made famous by Jack Kerouac when he wrote about the rail yards of Denver in On the Road in the 1940s, you’ll find red-bricked buildings with ground floor retail and restaurants and residential lofts above. Riverfront Park is the largest planned community in the area, consisting of condos, lofts, penthouses, townhomes and Brownstones. WaterTower Lofts, Jack Kerouac Lofts in Prospect Place, and several other historic warehouses in the Prospect area northeast of 20th, make themselves useful here. Where in the world is Central Platte Valley? General boundaries are I-25, Wewatta Street, Auraria Parkway, and 23rd Street.

Golden Triangle

A mixed-use neighborhood located in the middle of it all. Just to the south of Downtown, you’ll find both luxurious, modern, and architecturally eccentric choices. Find cool retro row homes and classic Denver bungalows, and modern high-end condominiums and lofts. It’s where the art culture shakes hands with home and hearth. Where in the world is Golden Triangle? In the 80204 zip code between Speer Boulevard, Lincoln, and Colfax Avenue.

Highland

It may be over the hill (from downtown) but its citizens aren’t. It’s the place to be for younger couples and families wanting to own homes close to Downtown. Check out row houses, duplexes, apartments above retail shops, grand Victorian and Queen Anne mansions, and post-WW II era single family detached houses. If you’re looking for an almost-downtown place to scrape or remodel, Highland is the place to do it. You’ll also find some lofts, condos, studios and small offices in the form of warehouse renovations. Where in the world is Highland? You’ll find the Highland neighborhood between Federal Boulevard, 38th Avenue, I-25, 23rd Avenue.

Lower Downtown

Nearly lost forever when many of its historic buildings were demolished in the ’70s and ’80s, Lo Do is home to million dollar lofts and apartments built above historic construction, with mixed-use retail and entertainment below. But the neighborhood also has some new loft buildings;new construction residential projects are becoming more common as fewer vacant buildings are available for renovation. Where in the world is LoDo? LoDo lives mostly on Larimer Street, between Speer Boulevard, Wewatta Street, and 20th Street.

Uptown

East of downtown, Uptown is an up-and-coming misnomer. Denver Squares, Victorians, bungalows, Queen Anne-style houses with second-story porches and much more are Uptown’s staples. And it’s a little roomier, with more single family homes on tree-lined boulevards that separate sidewalks from the street. Where in the world is Uptown? Go uptown to Uptown by finding Broadway, Colfax Avenue, 23rd Avenue, or Downing Street.

Denver is truly a place with something for everyone. For the true city slicker, there are high-rises, lofts, and condos, where window boxes are the most you’ll have to water. And for the urbanite who takes pride in a short stretch of manicured lawn, there are plenty of charming turn-of-the-century homes on tree-lined streets. And it’s also the place where the new-new and the Old West make friends. If you’re raring to become a part of Colorado’s whirring center of culture, commerce, and community, look at some of the best Denver Real Estate.
