Why People Love Highland
Highland is where Denver's creative energy meets neighborhood charm. Once a quiet residential area, Highland has evolved into one of the city's most sought-after neighborhoods — driven by an incredible restaurant scene, walkable streets, and a mix of historic character and modern development.
The neighborhood is actually two distinct areas: Lower Highland (LoHi), which borders downtown and is home to Denver's trendiest rooftop bars and modern condos, and Upper Highland (Highlands Square area), where tree-lined streets, craftsman bungalows, and a small-town Main Street feel create one of Denver's most charming pockets.
With some of the highest year-over-year appreciation in the metro, Highland isn't just a great place to live — it's one of Denver's smartest investments.
