Living in LoHi

Lower Highland sits at the southern edge of the Highlands, just across the South Platte and the pedestrian bridge from Union Station and downtown. It is the densest and most urban part of the Highlands, defined by modern townhomes, lofts, and condominium buildings, many with rooftop decks oriented to the skyline. The neighborhood is known for one of Denver's strongest concentrations of restaurants, bars, and rooftop patios.

The combination of skyline views, a celebrated dining scene, and a location minutes from downtown on foot has made LoHi one of Denver's most sought-after urban neighborhoods.

The homes and architecture

LoHi is led by modern construction, including townhomes, duplexes, lofts, and condominiums, many built in the past two decades with rooftop decks and skyline views, alongside a smaller number of original homes. Units and homes with the best downtown views command the strongest prices, and values vary by building, floor, and outlook.

The LoHi market

For buyers, downtown views and the specific building drive value, so it pays to compare the individual unit and its outlook rather than the neighborhood average. Sellers benefit from strong demand for view homes near downtown. For broader context, the Denver Luxury Market Report tracks the wider luxury segment, and the Highlands guide covers the neighboring market.

The dining scene and daily life

LoHi is known for its restaurants, bars, and rooftop patios, with the Highland pedestrian bridge connecting directly to Union Station and downtown. Day to day, residents have dining, coffee, and nightlife within a few blocks and downtown a short distance away. LoHi rates among Denver's more pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods on Walk Score, an objective third-party measure of how close everyday amenities are.

Schools

LoHi sits within Denver Public Schools, with Edison Elementary and Brown International Academy among the area schools, along with North High School. School boundaries, ratings, and enrollment policies change over time, so buyers should verify current boundaries, ratings, and enrollment directly with the district and with objective third-party sources such as GreatSchools.
