...where the hipsters roam


Close to downtown and just over the pedestrian Highland Bridge you'll find one of the hottest 'hoods in Denver. An invigorating cross-section inhabits the Highlands and Jefferson Park area, from singles to young families to grandparents, all enlivened with ethnic influences.

There's lots of reasons these rising stars are on the way up—like an easy-going mix of old homes, new lofts and apartments for rent, little neighborhood churches, corner groceries, fun family-owned-and-operated cafés, boutiques and bars. It's definitely hooked into the city's nightlife. Just check out the hip Coral Room, Mead St. Station pub, and 3 Dogs Tavern.

The annual Highlands Street Fair and wine tasting keeps it all outdoors. Plus—3rd Thursdays on 32nd, another cool event, which includes special shopping opps, live music, drinks, trunk shows and even the occasional celebrity sighting.

People here feel they've got it all…so, why hang out anywhere else?
