These days, when buyers shop for hip neighborhoods in Denver, they rarely look farther than Highlands.

1. The Vibe. The entire Highlands area is changing from what used to be a transitional area to one that is a very chic, young, urban destination.

Decidedly youthful and hip, Highlands is a fun place to live and play.

Highlands offers easy access to downtown Denver and its northwest location cuts travel time to the mountains –great for the mile-high skiing, hiking, and mountain biking weekend-warrior community. Lower Highland, or LoHi, just to the east, is a burgeoning enclave featuring several of Denver’s finest restaurants. Neighboring Berkeley—host of First Friday Art Walks in the summer—offers a vibrant collection of art and photography galleries.
3. Highlands Square. Located at 32nd and Lowell, this is the most popular destinaton in Highland. When it comes to charming, energetic town centers, it’s hard to beat Highlands Square.
