Top Denver Neighborhoods
Denver has over 70+ neighborhoods! With so many neighborhoods it can be hard to decide which one will fit you best. Are you looking for an urban space with fun restaurants and bars? Or are you more artistic and looking for creative places to express yourself and show off your talent?
Below are some of the top neighborhoods in Denver:
Cherry Creek
Sophisticated neighborhood with upscale amenities, shopping, and top-rated restaurants. Cherry Creek is known for luxury brand stores, Cherry Creek Mall, and access to the Cherry Creek Trail.
Cheesman Park
Founded in the 1800s, Cheesman Park is one of Denver's oldest neighborhoods. However, it still retains its charm and is known for its green spaces, historic homes, and the Denver Botanic Gardens.
Five Points
Five Points has undergone lots of changes in recent years. The neighborhood is revamped with new restaurants, modern amenities and a vibrant art and culturally diverse scene.
Golden Triangle
Golden Triangle is known for its art scene with many art galleries, stores and workshops throughout the neighborhood. It is also home to the Denver Art Museum. This area hosts events such as the Denver Chalk Art Festival with live music and hosts markets outside the Museum with art pieces and handmade jewelry.

With growing popularity, the Highland neighborhood has plenty of modern amenities, scenic trails along the South Platte River, and easy access to downtown Denver. Highland offers a mix of restaurants, bars and historic charm.

RiNo is another popular art district in Denver known for its street art and murals, breweries, modern charm and rustic revival.

There are so many more awesome neighborhoods I could put on the list! These are just a few popular ones. For more info and other neighborhoods, feel free to reach out to our team. We'll be happy to give you more options to explore!
Top Denver Metro Cities
The previous category was like looking at a zoomed in map of Denver, now we're going to zoom the map out and show you the surrounding suburbs. These are a great option for people looking to get away from the hustle and bustle while still being close. To make it simple, Colorado can be broken down into two major sections. If you put an imaginary line from North Denver to South Denver (or in our case I-25 is our line) you would have the west side and the east side of Colorado. On the west you are close to the Rocky Mountains, lakes and scenic trails. On the east you have vast plains, land to spread out, Denver International Airport, and access to reservoirs and trails. Here are the top cities on the West side of the Denver Metro:
Arvada
Broomfield
Evergreen
Golden
Lakewood
Littleton
Westminster
And here are the top and most populated cities on the East side of the Denver Metro:
Aurora
Brighton
Centennial
Commerce City
Greenwood Village
Northglenn
Parker
Thornton

Brunch, Lunch, & Dinner
What is a better way to explore the different cities and neighborhoods than checking out their best spots?! One of the first things I like to do when I get to a new city, is to check out a coffee shop or restaurant to get a feel of the area and locals. If you are new to Denver, here are some great spots!
First stop, coffee! If I was in the Cherry Creek neighborhood, I would stop by Avanio and grab a cup of coffee maybe even stay and work or write. Find yourself near DU (University of Denver)? Kaladi Coffee Roasters is a great spot with laid back vibes.
Looking for brunch? The Hampton Social just opened up last year and is a great place to get coastal inspired bites, enjoy mimosas
and the fun atmosphere.

Lastly, on our list are Colorado landmarks and fun places. There are so many to choose from and I can go on and on, but to keep it simple I will focus on locations close to Denver.
