concerts at the historic Oriental Theater and First Friday Art Walks on Tennyson.
On the east side of Berkeley is Harkness Heights, a designated historic Denver neighborhood where you can find
historic homes. This area consists of larger brick bungalows and Denver squares. Berkeley’s main drag, Tennyson, is
experiencing a renaissance of renewal with numerous art galleries, locally owned restaurants, and a diverse mix of
businesses, boutiques, and specialty food shops. For authentic Mexican and italian fare, you can’t beat the endless
options on Federal. Families will like the nearby library, churches, and aforementioned parks.

Chaffee Park
All that’s old is new again. On the northern edge of central Denver lies a cozy older neighborhood that has recently
emerged as one of Denver’s rediscovered areas. Between 38th Avenue, 48th Avenue, inca, and Tejon, replete
with small brick bungalows and an eclectic blend of architecture, is Chaffee Park. This area enjoys a direct link to
Downtown Denver via 38th Avenue and lies right alongside i-25 for easy access north or south. you’ll find the most
commerce along 38th Avenue, where authentic Mexican restaurants, banks and many shops and services keep life
convenient. Strewn throughout the highly residential neighborhood are community churches and corner markets.
you won’t want to miss Tennyson, where new-age nuances and locally owned establishments line the sidewalked
street from 39th through 44th Avenues.

where residents enjoy the open land. Within the borders are a fire station, middle school, police station, Boys and
Girls Club, and post office. quiet, community-minded, and filled with character, this is an historic neighborhood with

Highlands
Hang with the hipsters. This is the place to be and be seen, with a healthy dose of funky personality.
People come from all over the city to check out the charming boutiques, eat at a choice of delicious
restaurants, or have a few drinks at a neighborhood hotspot. This is Highlands, right on the square.
Originally planned as square instead of rectangular streets, this neighborhood still maintains its communal
energy. Surrounding the square is block after block of super cute homes, with as much character as their
inhabitants.
Highlands sits just across i-25, right next to Downtown Denver, between 38th Avenue, 29th Avenue,
Federal, and Sheridan. Scottish, English and Welsh immigrants founded this hip and ethnically diverse
area in 1858. it later became an even larger melting pot when italians, irish, Germans, and Mexicans
arrived. you’ll love the Downtown Denver vibe with easy access to the Pepsi Center, invesco Field at
Mile High, and Coors Field, not to mention the Downtown Aquarium, the Children’s Museum, and Elitch
Gardens amusement park. Outdoor enthusiasts and weekend warriors love spending time at the massive
REi flagship store or braving the baby rapids at Confluence Park.
Highlands is one of the most vibrant places to live in the city, while still offering a cozy, respectful
neighborhood feel. it is undeniably diverse and understandably popular. Average list prices run in the
mid-to-high $300,000 range, quite a bargain when you consider all the area has to offer.

Potter Highlands
Downtown Denver without the noise. The Potter Highland Historic district occupies much of the
neighborhood west of Zuni. Sometimes referred to as LoHi, the section of Highland closer to Downtown
Denver, particularly from 15th through 20th Streets (the original Downtown Grid), is rapidly being turned
into newer lofts and condos.
Potter Highlands attracts funky, independent shops and boutiques and active residents who love being
in the center of the city, but still enjoy the sanctuary of home. Live here and you’ll enjoy the convenience
of everything it offers. The Highlands Bridge, a pedestrian overpass, connects the area to Riverfront and
LoDo, while local grocers, trendy restaurants, and a sprinkling of remaining historic buildings and homes
retain a community feel. Officially located between 38th Avenue, Speer, Federal, and the Platte River,
this diverse and eclectic neighborhood is one of the most inclusive in all of Denver, with home priced
primarily between $200,000 and $500,000.

Jefferson Park
Perched on bluff. Originally, Jefferson Park was part of The Town of Highland, considered Denver’s first suburb,
overlooking the Platte River. Today it’s known and named for its park and other historic landmarks like the
original city hall, now the site of Denver Fire Station 12, and a mix of 20th century and mid-century homes and
apartments.
The neighborhood centers around the 6.7-acre Jefferson Park, named in honor of the third American president.
Considered a working-class neighborhood, people here are diverse, community-minded, and have a high
membership in their United Neighbors Organization—a testament to their commitment to the neighborhood.
Jefferson Park experienced a development boom at the turn of the millennium and is experiencing a bit of a
renaissance because developers (and residents) can see the benefits of being so close to Downtown Denver.
To its credit, the Jefferson Park neighborhood has been able to retain its personality and affordable housing
options during its on-going period of gentrification. Don’t miss Federal Boulevard, which is teeming with an
authentic and ethnic blend of Vietnamese eateries (try the popular Pho), Thai diners, Middle Eastern food, and
Mexican restaurants. Of course, you’ll also want to take advantage of nearby Downtown Denver for its sports
and music venues and rich mix of bars, restaurants, and retail shops.
Jefferson Park lies south of Highlands and east of Sloan’s Lake, between Speer, Colfax, the peaceful Platte River,
and Federal.

Sunnyside
A bright spot. Sunnyside is part of the historic Highlands area in Northwest Denver, bounded by Federal,
i-25, i-70, and 38th Avenue. Let the Union Pacific railroad lines take you back to the days when this
neighborhood was experiencing its original renaissance around the turn of the century. it doesn’t require
much imagination. The old-growth trees, modest homes, and corner churches easily bring to mind a time
gone by. Old enough to now be experiencing a revival, Sunnyside is indeed having its moment in the sun.
Come experience the Hispanic and Latino flavor at any number of authentic south-of-the-border
restaurants along Federal and 38th Avenue. Take in the lively music filling the air from many a backyard
during weekend family get-togethers. And imagine what it feels like to be living at the intersection of
serenity and urban energy, with quiet nights and busy days. So close to Downtown Denver, yet so far from
the frantic pace, Sunnyside could be the perfect place for you to call home. The average listing price is
around $250,000, a relative bargain for this re-emerging neighborhood.

Sloan’s Lake
Dragon Boats and dragonflies. Every year in July, Sloan’s lake hosts the Dragon Boat Festival, where
100,000 people come to celebrate and experience Colorado’s Asian Pacific culture, customs, and traditions.
it is this creativity and open-armed welcoming attitude that give the Sloan’s Lake inclusive community its
well-founded reputation.
Two connected lakes, Cooper and Sloan, comprise Sloan’s Lake’s 177-acre wildlife refuge and nature-lover’s
paradise. These lakes are a focal point of the neighborhood bordered by West 29th Avenue, 17th Avenue,
Federal, and Sheridan. From pedestrian trails and playgrounds to boat docks and tennis courts, this area
is terrific respite for Sloan’s Lake visitors and residents. Primarily residential with the majority of homes
built in the 1930s, Sloan’s Lake possesses pockets of architecturally stunning 19th century structures and
includes an eclectic mix of houses on 14th Avenue and Stuart Street. Visit neighboring Highland Square,
where you’ll discover plenty of great restaurants, pubs, and charming boutiques.
With access to i-25 and i-70, a mountainous view, and a 10-minute ride from Downtown Denver, Sloan’s
lake is a convenient, affordable, and diverse mile-high neighborhood. The median listing price of just
under $400,000.
