Highland

The Highlands refers to several interconnected neighborhoods in northwest Denver, primarily Highland and Berkeley, that sit on elevated terrain offering stunning views of the downtown skyline and Rocky Mountains. This area has evolved from a working-class neighborhood into one of Denver's most desirable and trendy districts.

The Highlands is known for its historic Victorian and bungalow-style homes, many dating from the early 1900s, which have been lovingly restored and now command premium prices. The neighborhood maintains a strong sense of community with tree-lined streets, local parks, and a walkable layout that encourages neighborhood interaction.

Highland Square, centered around 32nd and Lowell, serves as the area's commercial heart, featuring an eclectic mix of locally-owned restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and bars. The dining scene is particularly notable, with everything from upscale eateries to casual neighborhood spots. The area also boasts several craft breweries and has become a foodie destination.

The neighborhood attracts young professionals, families, and creatives who appreciate its proximity to downtown (just minutes away), combined with a more relaxed, residential feel. Highland also offers easy access to outdoor recreation, with nearby parks and quick connections to mountain activities.

The Highlands successfully balances urban convenience with small-town charm, featuring farmer's markets, community events, and a strong local business scene that gives it a distinct identity separate from downtown Denver.
