THE NEIGHBORHOOD

"Denver's Highlands neighborhood (not to be confused with Highlands Ranch) has undergone drastic changes in the past few years. From shady to chic, this neighborhood, in all its picturesque glory, is on the up-and-up. Highlands is now a cove of cozy restaurants, novelty stores and martini bars just outside the bustle of Downtown Denver."

"Highlands' residential district is, for lack of a better term, just plain cute.....The commercial district along 32nd and 29th Streets, is lined with trendy boutiques, like Swank and and Mona Lucero; martini bars, Forest Room 5 and The Coral Room; Americana restaurants, Duo and Bang!; and salons such as Brows and Bliss. The Lumber Baron Inn, a bed and breakfast, is the perfect place to stay just off the main drag and offers visitors a chance absorb the richness of the neighborhood. With its growing allure for residents and businesses, Highlands is bound to blossom even more in the coming years."

"...a lovely and quiet pocket of charm. The Highland neighborhood many years ago was broken down and dilapidated. There was no safe place to walk at night and there were no storefronts, sidewalk cafes or street fairs. In the 90's Highland began to change. The neighborhood is 1.5 miles from downtown Denver. People began to move in droves and fix up the fixer-uppers."

" It has blossomed into a beautiful urban experience and the people are still "small town nice... You can't go wrong here. If you are just visiting for the day or are looking to invest, this is the place. It is northwest of downtown Denver between 26th & Speer to 45th & Tennyson Street. It is fun to watch my neighborhood grow. It has come ALIVE over the last four years... "
