population of youth under five years old in
the city and county of Denver. Highland’s
streets are tree-lined and beautiful, sweeping over gentle hills. Located very close to
downtown, the Highland’s still manages to
stay apart from the hustle and bustle, both
in feel and sensibility. Unique commercial
options include the many retailers and
restaurants around 32nd and 33rd streets.
Riverfront
Riverfront is experiencing exciting development as it quickly becomes a favorite urban
living destination. Millions of square feet of
development are emerging from what used
to be industrial space—including railyards
and warehouses. Prominent landmarks in
the Riverfront area include Six Flags Elitch
Gardens, Downtown Aquarium, Pepsi
Downtown (LoDo – Lower Downtown)
LoDo, or Lower Downtown, is located
where General William Larimer founded
the city of Denver, back in 1858. LoDo is
particularly famous for its art galleries,
restaurants, nightclubs, jazz parlors and
specialty retail stores—all located on the
ground floors of some of the most beautiful
historic buildings in Denver. LoDo’s transformed structures have preserved the brick
and stone that give this region its unforgettable flavor, and turned them into luxurious
high-end—as well as affordable—housing
for its residents. LoDo amenities and attractions include Commons Park in the Central
Platte Valley, the Cherry Creek bike path,
16th Street Mall, Coors Field (home of the
Colorado Rockies) and the country’s largest
brewpub, Wynkoop Brewing Company.
