LoHi (Lower Highlands)
By Jessica Car · Updated April 2026
Denver's most sought-after urban neighborhood, a half-mile pocket between I-25 and Federal Boulevard where Victorian cottages share blocks with modern four-story condos and rooftop restaurants. Platte Street is the dining spine, home to Linger, El Five, Señor Bear, and a rotating cast of new openings. 32nd Avenue adds boutiques, coffee shops, and Little Man Ice Cream's iconic cream-can building. High-rise and mid-rise condo projects from the 2010s–2020s dominate the eastern edge near I-25, while renovated 1890s–1920s Victorians survive on interior streets. Walkable to downtown Denver via the Highland Bridge and Millennium Bridge. Prices reflect the location premium. LoHi consistently ranks among Denver's most expensive neighborhoods per square foot.
