About Highland, Denver Real Estate

A trendy, urban neighborhood with a bustling restaurant scene

Overlooking downtown Denver, Highland neighborhood is a buzzy residential community featuring lush gardens, pristine parks, and boutiques and restaurants trendy enough for the hippest of hipsters. This fun, youthful spot is equal parts city cool and residential oasis. From the lively bars and bistros on Tennyson Street to the picturesque Sloan’s Lake, Highland offer residents a wide variety of entertainment, including those famed Broncos – and, even better, the stadium is only a short walk away.

The town site for Highland was designed in 1858 by William Larimer, Jr, who had founded Denver City only a month prior. By 1871, streetcars had arrived and with them an influx of residents. Evidence of this storied history can be seen along the stately avenues lined with elegant Victorian homes. Today, the housing market includes chic condo buildings and stylish lofts, as well as eclectic single-family houses and stunning new construction builds with lots of glass and open-concept features.
