Clients are always asking me the following questions. Which Denver Neighborhoods should I buy a home in?  What areas of Denver should I be investing in?  What areas of Denver are emerging?  Which Denver neighborhoods have home values that are rising?

Well folks, here it is.  These are my thoughts on some emerging neighborhoods in Denver.  This isn’t based on some unique formula that can be bent and twisted to support “trendy” neighborhoods.  This is based on what truly matters, where people are purchasing homes and where we are seeing the most traffic on 360dwellings.com.  Bottom line, this is where people are buying right now.  If people are purchasing more properties than there is inventory, then home values will rise.

Just click on the photos to see every listing available in these neighborhoods.

The Historic Baker Neighborhood

The Baker Neighborhood is a designated Historic District located just to the south of the city and just minutes away from the Golden Triangle and Downtown Denver. The unique little neighborhood is a hip urban neighborhood with great charm and walkability, populated by young up and comers and first time home buyers. Baker is one of Denver’s oldest hoods, sporting Victorian architecture and the most Queen Anne Victorian homes in all of Denver.  By far we see the most Neighborhood Search traffic on 360dwellings.com for the Baker Neighborhood.  This isn’t a coincidence, a lot of buyer’s are actively seeking Real Estate in the Baker Neighborhood right now.

LoHi Neighborhood (Lower Highland)

We can’t think of a cooler part of Denver than the Lower Highland Neighborhood, aka the LoHi Neighborhood. Think happening restaurants, a new contemporary art museum, and an architecturally forward-thinking bridge. The neighborhoods are easier than ever to visit in tandem, thanks to the bicycle-and-pedestrian Highland Bridge.

Curtis Park

Just north of Downtown Denver you’ll find the Curtis Park neighborhood, a historic area developed in the 1860s and 1870s as a fashionable residential suburb. This is the oldest and most classic 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.  This is one of my personal favorite neighborhoods in Denver.
