Where to live in Denver
What each neighborhood is like, with the places listed there.
-
Capitol Hill
Just east of Broadway, Capitol Hill is bounded by four busy streets: Broadway, Downing Street, Colfax Avenue and 7th Avenue. The city counts Cheesman Park, and North Capitol Hill across Colfax (which some residents call Uptown), as separate neighborhoods.
39 places listed
-
Central Park
Built on the site of the old Stapleton International Airport, which closed in 1995, and known as Stapleton until it was renamed. It's Denver's largest residential neighborhood, with dozens of parks, several schools and pools, and since April 2016 the A Line train has linked it to Downtown and Denver International Airport.
37 places listed
-
Cheesman Park
Both a city park and the neighborhood around it. Many people think of it as part of Capitol Hill, but Denver treats Cheesman Park as a neighborhood of its own.

City Park
Most of this neighborhood is the park itself: about 330 acres, the largest park in Denver. It holds the Denver Zoo, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, Ferril and Duck Lakes and a boathouse, with City Park Golf Course just to the north.

Five Points
One of Denver's oldest neighborhoods, and now one of its fastest growing. Much of the new building is in the River North Arts District (RiNo), which locals often treat as its own area even though it officially sits in Five Points and parts of Globeville and Elyria-Swansea.
52 places listed
-
Highland
A Northside neighborhood just northwest of Downtown, between West 38th Avenue, a Union Pacific rail line, the South Platte River, Speer Boulevard and Federal Boulevard. People often say "the Highlands" to mean both Highland and its separate neighbor, West Highland.
