Breckenridge Blake Street Pub
The Breckenridge Brewery &
Pub opened in November 1992
as one of the first brewpubs
in Denver. The eclectic menu
includes traditional pub fare,
great burgers and sandwiches,
salads, bar-b-que, Tex-Mex and
specials, all made fresh daily.
Snooze
Snooze re-energizes the way
you think, feel and eat breakfast.
Established in 2006, Snooze
invites you to a new kind of
experience at breakfast and
lunch, with recipes made from
scratch using the highest quality
ingredients; a setting filled with
energy and pouring over in
creativity; and service radiating
fun and knowledge throughout.
Marco’s Coal-Fired Pizza
Marco’s is the only certified
authentic Neapolitan restaurant
in Colorado, and one of only
40 in the USA. They use only
the finest, most authentic
ingredients: flour from a
third-generation Italian family,
artisanal cheeses from the Italian
countryside and fresh, locally
grown produce found here in
Colorado.
Ballpark neighborhood lies to the north of Lower Downtown and Downtown Denver’s Central Business
District. The southern end of the neighborhood is anchored by Coors Field and stretches almost 20 blocks
to the north into a section that is still a functioning warehouse and light industry district. Now a historic
district, most of its original buildings still stand today. While the lure of summer baseball games may be
the appeal to some residents, there is also the wonderful commercial corridor of North Larimer Street
adding spunk to the neighborhood — offering a unique mix of buildings and tenants — pawn shops,
jazz clubs, bars, antique shops, art framers, galleries, brewpubs, authentic Mexican restaurants, small
companies and more. Here, you’ll find many brick buildings that still sport train and truck loading docks
on their street frontages.

Converted lofts, new construction, and apartments are in abundance, and many
more are planned in this neighborhood. Ballpark’s rail yard history makes it ideal
for classic loft conversions. Many of the original warehouses have been stripped
and updated, and now offer loft space with exposed beams and pipes. Several
more loft construction projects are planned, guaranteeing more growth and development in this expanding area. Developers have purchased and razed the few
valueless buildings, creating space for new construction; new loft apartments and
brownstones are available for rent and purchase, ensuring viable housing options
for a wide range of prices and lifestyles.

The neighborhood offers perhaps the city’s widest range in housing types and
price ranges — everything from high-rise apartments to single-family homes,
apartments in historic mansions, to lofts in renovated commercial buildings. Many
apartment buildings have been rehabilitated throughout Capitol Hill, commercial
buildings have been transformed into mixed-use housing projects, and vacant lots
have given rise to new construction housing developments.

JEFFERSON
PARK
Capitol Hill residents describe themselves as funky, eclectic and fiercely proud of their multi-generational,
diverse neighborhood. Many older families have lived in the big, beautiful Capitol Hill homes for decades,
while a younger crowd is now renting apartments or buying condos. With lots of walkable streets and
almost every amenity close by, there is a steady stream of pedestrians taking in the restaurants, bars,
coffee shops and boutiques. Strolling through the neighborhood, you’re reminded that Capitol Hill was
founded in the 1880s as a new residential suburb for Denver’s wealthiest families. You can still see many
of the extravagant Victorian, Tudor and Greek revival mansions they built using sandstone, granite and
other materials native to Colorado. With new retail, entertainment venues, offices and even condominium
developments along the fabled street, Capitol Hill residents have even more reasons to be proud.

The Central Business District may sound like a stuffy array of bank buildings, but don’t let the name fool
you. While LoDo has garnered most of the publicity over the last decade, residential growth in the upper
end of Downtown — the Central Business District - has been equally strong. Both areas have populations
of approximately 3,500 people, and the Central Business District has a distinct personality all its own.
One of the most charming things about this neighborhood is the links its buildings hold to Denver’s past.
In recent years, several vacant historic structures have been renovated into apartment and condominium
projects. Residents of the Central Business District are not all business. They’re surrounded by some of
the city’s best dining, shopping, arts and culture and everything is a quick walk or a short free shuttle ride
away, making cars necessary only for trips out of the city.
Denver Center for the
Performing Ats
A showcase for live theatre, the
symphony, touring Broadway
shows, and an award-winning
multi-media production facility.

Opera House has concerts,

Central Platte Valley
Entertainment & Arts
This neighborhood boasts
the city’s most prominent
entertainment venues,
including the Pepsi Center
Arena, The Children’s
Museum, Six Flags Elitch
Gardens amusement park,
the Downtown Aquarium,
and the new Denver Museum
of Contemporary Art.
Millennium Bridge
The bridge is part engineering
marvel, part sculpture, links the
valley to lower Downtown for
pedestrians.
Denver Skate Park
Designed for both street
skating and vertical skating,
the Skate Park mimics an
urban environment of planters,
curbs, rails, bowls, and more.
If ever there was a new frontier in Denver, it’s the Central Platte Valley (CPV) neighborhood. This 120acre neighborhood west of Downtown is evolving before your eyes. After spending most of the 20th
century marked by warehouses, viaducts and rail yards, the Central Platte Valley has been transformed
into an exciting, mixed-use urban neighborhood with a variety of homes, lofts and luxury apartments,
and more than 3 million square feet of offices, quaint shops, hip galleries, bohemian restaurants and
hotels. Here, you’ll not only find 2,227 residential units (with another 800 under construction or planned)
but also something unheard of in an urban setting — 90 beautiful acres of parks, including the largest
outdoor public skate park in the USA and access to the Cherry Creek river for kayaking, walking your
dog or riding your bike.
REI
This huge flagship store in
one of Denver’s most historic
buildings, hosts lectures,
classes, and fun for the whole
family with one of the tallest,
indoor climbing walls in the
area and a coffee house. And
of course, great outdoor stuff
to buy.

The Central Platte Valley offers a variety of housing options for renters or buyers.
On the west side, between the river and I-25, you’ll find red-bricked buildings
with ground floor retail and restaurants and residential lofts above. East-West
Partners’ Riverfront Park is the largest planned community in the neighborhood,
comprised of condos, lofts, penthouses, townhomes and Brownstones. If you are
looking for an apartment, there are Commons Park West, a newly constructed
340-unit apartment complex, and The Manhattan. There are also several historic
warehouses in the Prospect area (northeast of 20th Street), including WaterTower
Lofts, and Jack Kerouac Lofts in Prospect Place Village.

Mestizo-Curtis Park
The neighborhood’s namesake
open space was created in
1868 as Denver’s first public
park. Today, the park offers
an outdoor pool, tennis and
basketball courts, horseshoe
pits, soccer field, and a new
playground.
Just north of Downtown Denver, Curtis Park is a historic area developed in the 1860s and 1870s as a
fashionable residential suburb. Neighbors here are quick to point out that this is the oldest residential
neighborhood in the city. Take a quick trip to Curtis Park today, and you’ll see it remains one of the
center city’s most accessible neighborhoods for Downtown workers and shoppers. As you stroll down
its tree-lined streets, one of the most noticeable aspects of the community is its incredible diversity. It’s a
wonderfully integrated mix of all kinds of housing, a variety of social and economic levels, and neighbors
who are evenly split between African-American, Latino and Caucasian.

Five Points was founded in the 1860s on the Welton Street corridor as one of Denver’s first residential
suburbs and it features some of Denver’s oldest homes and historic storefronts. Brimming with history, its
commercial district was a requisite stop for the world’s best African American jazz musicians--including
Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington and Lionel Hampton. Music is still alive in the neighborhood including
Five Points’ Juneteenth celebration — one of the biggest music festivals in America. As Welton Street
runs along Five Points, you’ll find the bustle and hum of 75 businesses, including restaurants, cafes,
boutiques, barber shops, salons, a bank and a radio station. You’ll also find that Welton Street is the only
predominantly African American owned commercial strip in the country. From its jazz roots to this proud
stretch of merchants, Five Points has made its mark on the history books and in the hearts of its residents.

In this quirky, artsy, eclectic neighborhood, some of the best conversations have gone to the dogs. That’s
because many neighbors meet every night at the little parks nearby to walk their dogs and chat. It’s just
one of the ways this energetic neighborhood has created its own distinct culture. Located just south of
Downtown, the Golden Triangle offers amazing cultural and entertainment opportunities right outside
the front door, including the Denver Art Museum and Denver Public Library. The area is fast becoming a
hot spot for art lovers, culture buffs and those who want to be right in the thick of the city’s action, while
transforming itself with new restaurants, childcare centers, clubs and multiple art galleries. Several former
garages and industrial buildings have been renovated for use by law firms, architects, interior designers
and other small office users, bringing a more neighborly feel to the blocks.

LoLa
Named one of the top-5
places to drink tequila in
America by Food & Wine,
LoLa has become one of
Denver’s most acclaimed
restaurants, serving cuisine
inspired by Mexico’s coastal
regions. LoLa is in the original
home of the Olinger Mortuary;
below, the 1926 winter resting
place of Wild Bill Cody is now
their new tequila bar, BeLoLa.
Set on a hill overlooking the city, the Highland has hilly, tree-lined streets and an eclectic mix of housing.
Residents like the unique feeling of living far away from the city’s hubbub while still being a quick bike or
scooter ride to the heart of Downtown. In recent years, this thriving area has become the place to be for
young urbanites wanting to own homes close to Downtown. There’s a little bit of everything from block
to block, creating the neighborhood’s old-world charm. Highland is also characterized by its rich ethnic
history (the reason why it has the best Italian and Mexican restaurants) and diverse age demographics.
The area has unique commercial districts with locally owned art galleries, chic restaurants, and a variety
of hip boutiques selling everything from flowers to gourmet chocolates. On a warm afternoon, the
neighborhood is alive with shoppers, coffee sippers and workers enjoying their lunchtime.

programs and special events
are constantly on the agenda.
La Loma Restaurant
Perched on a hill near 26th

Denver home that was
constructed in 1887. The
home accommodates a
Cantina with a large fireplace,
and three unique dining rooms.
Jack-N-Grill
This funky neighborhood
favorite proudly displays a sign
saying “We are not fast food.”
Locals say it is well worth
the wait for Jack Martinez’s
specialties. Chiles are roasted
by the Martinez family on-site
and they’re also famous for
their Frito pies and calabasitas.
Just to the south of the Highland neighborhood, a sweet little community called Jefferson Park sits perched
over Downtown Denver. Jefferson Park is named for the centrally located 6.7-acre park that was landscaped
in the early 1900s and serves as a gathering place for neighbors and visitors. As one of the last affordable
Downtown neighborhoods, Jefferson Park is sought-after by those wanting to own homes near the city. Its
streets are dotted with a variety of housing styles from various eras, so it has something for all tastes and
budgets. Federal Boulevard is the main shopping corridor with life’s necessities mixed with the spice of
ethnic restaurants and shops. From its hilly vantage point, this quiet jewel of a neighborhood has stunning
views of Six Flags Elitch Gardens, The Children’s Museum, the Aquarium, and the mountains to the west.

Sunken Gardens Park
Just east of West High School,
you’ll find Sunken Gardens
Park. Built in 1909 on the site
of a city dump, it was created
by landscape architect Saco
DeBoer, the same architect
who created Civic Center Park.
Lincoln Park
Even though this neighborhood
is just minutes from Downtown,
its own park gives it a suburban,

neighbors gather, children play,
and the community reconnects.

Stroll the streets of La Alma/Lincoln Park neighborhood and you’ll see colorful lights decorating many
of the homes, smell Latino dishes wafting out of windows, and be charmed by the turn of the century
architecture. It is teeming with a sense of family, and one of the few places left where you’ll find two
and three generations still living in the same few blocks. One of Denver’s oldest neighborhoods, La
Alma/Lincoln Park lies to the south of today’s Auraria Higher Education Center campus. This charming
neighborhood — often referred to as the “West Side” — is close to the heart of Downtown, yet still
attractively affordable. It’s an opportunity for those wanting a historic neighborhood without the price tag.
Santa Fe Drive, the primary retail and commercial corridor, has been revitalized and is now alive day and
night with cafes, authentic Mexican bakeries, art galleries, photography studios and a variety of offices.

LoDo housing options range from million dollar lofts to below-market rate
apartments. Many apartments and lofts are built above historic buildings, with
retail and entertainment below. But the neighborhood also has some new loft
buildings, and new construction residential projects are becoming more common
as fewer vacant buildings are available for renovation.

Meander through Lower Downtown, or LoDo, and you’ll move from beautiful, historically-preserved
buildings, to new lofts, to some of the best shopping, dining and entertainment venues in town. This
25-block neighborhood is a blend of western history, urban chic and gracious living. Best of all, the
Colorado sunshine permeates Lodo, warming balconies and decks and rooftop terraces. LoDo is a vibrant
combination of historical storefronts, brick warehouses, industrial buildings and commercial structures that
have been renovated into offices, lofts and retail space. Art galleries, restaurants, brewpubs, jazz clubs,
and specialty retail stores line the ground floors of historic buildings, while offices, condos and lofts sit
above. LoDo residents will tell you there’s a great sense of community. Moreover, residents are just a few
blocks from the Cherry Creek bike path and the recently completed Commons Park.

Just to the east of Downtown Denver lies a neighborhood that spans the entire spectrum of housing
styles, businesses and personalities. This diverse neighborhood is lovingly referred to as Uptown, and it is
growing in popularity. Part of the neighborhood’s dynamic personality is its array of great restaurants, from
fancy dinner fare to funky breakfast nooks. Mix the good eating with some delightful boutique shopping,
a spa or two, office buildings and two of the best small entertainment venues in Denver and you have a
little something for everyone. Plus, it’s all located with incredibly easy access to the heart of Denver. On its
southern boundary, Uptown includes Colfax Avenue, where remarkable renovations have taken place and
new retail, residential and office development is changing the landscape and creating even more reasons
to love this neighborhood.
