Discover Highland, Denver: A Premier Neighborhood for Homebuyers and Sellers

Why Highland?
Highland, Denver is one of the city's most sought-after neighborhoods, known for its rich history, vibrant community, and convenient location just northwest of downtown Denver. With a mix of historic charm and modern conveniences, Highland offers an exceptional quality of life for families and professionals alike, making it a top choice for homebuyers and home sellers in Denver.

West Highland vs. Highland
It’s important to distinguish between West Highland and Highland.

Both areas are often collectively referred to as The Highlands, but they are distinct neighborhoods with slightly different vibes and histories.

A truly one-of-a-kind LoHi offering. Originally built in 1896 and taken down to the studs in a 2007 renovation, this home pairs character with the updates today's buyers want — a fully remodeled kitchen and baths, stainless steel appliances, rich cherry wood floors, Andersen windows, copper plumbing, updated electrical, and new insulation and drywall throughout. Upstairs feels sophisticated and clean, while the walkout lower level is bright and functional. Anchored by a comfortable primary bedroom alongside a second bedroom with direct access to the backyard. It's a versatile space that adapts effortlessly to however you live: guest suite, home office, creative studio, workout room, or anything else your lifestyle calls for. The detached 2-car garage is a standout, with a separate Tejon Street address and its own electrical service. This is far more than parking — it's a workshop, an art studio, gear and hobby storage, or a private workspace waiting to happen. Set on a nearly 3,000-square-foot lot, the low-maintenance yard is made for Colorado living, with plenty of room to entertain, garden, or let pets roam. Dual frontage along Umatilla and Tejon Streets gives the property an open, accessible feel. And with C-MX-3 zoning, this property offers flexible, mixed-use potential that's a rarity among LoHi residential lots. The current owner has put that flexibility to work running a profitable vending machine business from the property — a great example the possibility this zoning unlocks. While the business itself isn't included in the sale, a separate purchase could be considered. Beyond the property itself, this location is at the center of everything LoHi has to offer. Walk to some of Denver's best restaurants, coffee shops, and Happy Hours. Downtown is minutes away by foot, bike, or car, with easy access to Coors Field and Union Station. This is one of Denver's most walkable, vibrant neighborhoods, offering the perfect balance of urban energy and neighborhood charm.

Inside, an inviting open floor plan unfolds around a beautifully appointed chef’s kitchen and gracious living spaces equally suited to entertaining or quiet evenings at home. A built-in coffee maker makes mornings effortless, while thoughtful finishes and natural light create an atmosphere that feels refined and relaxed. The second level is dedicated to two exceptional bedroom suites. The primary is a true retreat, featuring a fireplace, luxurious 5-piece bath, generous walk-in closet and private balcony. A second en-suite bedroom offers privacy and comfort for guests. The third level offers remarkable versatility as a home office, additional guest suite or private escape. A wet bar and open entertaining area lead to the private rooftop terrace beneath a custom pergola, perfect for sunset cocktails, summer dinners and evenings with friends.

Located in the heart of LOHI on one of the most popular streets with amazing views of downtown Denver, this contemporary loft, has high concrete sound-suppression ceilings and hardwood floors. It is one of only 2 residences in the iconic Shoshone Lofts with 3 bedrooms, one of which is nonconforming and has served as the perfect office space with its large closet and sense of privacy. Each of the other 2 large bedrooms has egress widows, closets, and do not share a common wall with each other. The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet, and ensuite bathroom. The open space living area accesses a balcony through glass sliders which are flanked on either side with floor to ceiling windows that highlight the panoramic and unobstructable views of Denver's Skyline. The full-size kitchen has plenty of cabinets for storage, a separate pantry closet, lots of counter space and a countertop bar. It complements the open-space living/dining area which has a gas fireplace and dry-bar built/in cabinet. The kitchen/living/dining living area which has natural sunlight flooding the space through the glass sliders and floor-to-ceiling side windows off the balcony is perfect for entertaining or private enjoyment. Additionally, there is a full-size bathroom, large walk-in storage closet, and an in-unit washer and dryer.

As you review the HOA fees, please note that the fees include expenses that are typically paid for directly by homeowners who don't have an HOA. For example the HOA covers gas which fuels the forced air furnace that heats the property in winter; building insurance; water and sewer costs; trash collection; and of course the grounds and building maintenance costs.

Step into this charming 1909 brick bungalow in Denver’s Potter Highlands Historic District, where tree-lined streets, front porches, and original Northside character still set the tone. This is the kind of block people walk for the architecture: brick cottages, mature trees, and that old Highland feel, yet W 32nd Avenue is only a short stroll away. Highland Square boutiques, neighborhood coffee, Park Burger, Patzcuaro’s, pizza, and patio nights are close at hand, with LoHi, downtown, and I-25 an easy hop from there. The floor plan is classic bungalow, front-to-back. An enclosed porch and the front entry open into a connected living and dining room that flows straight through to the kitchen, so the main level feels open rather than chopped into tiny rooms. The kitchen has solid counter space for everyday cooking or having people over. Two bedrooms sit on the main floor: the front bedroom includes a closet, and the rear room is bright enough to use as a second bedroom or a light-filled office. One full bath completes the level. Hardwood and tile floors, brick exterior, and that early-1900s scale give the house the charm buyers specifically come to Potter Highlands for. Historic bungalow character in a walkable, highly sought neighborhood, with a layout that works to live in, rent, or renovate. Great option for buyers looking to get into the neighborhood without the added expense of HOA or Condo living!

3685 Osage St. is one of two newly completed residences from Wolff House, developed and designed as a custom-inspired home in the heart of LoHi. Architecturally designed by the acclaimed Hollingsworth Design, this fully brick-clad residence brings a distinctly considered approach to new construction. Gas lanterns frame the entry, setting the tone for an interior where material, proportion, and detail are intentional. Inside, craftsmanship takes precedence. Wire-brushed European white oak flooring, wool carpeting, Level-5 drywall, 2-inch mitered countertops, caseless doors, white oak accent ceilings and handrails, custom millwork + plaster, lime wash, and wallpaper accents throughout create a layered, tactile interior. The kitchen features a luxury appliance package with panel-front appliances, Kohler workstation sinks, and an integrated pot-filling station. Throughout the home, custom cabinetry is elevated with thin-shaker profiles, rift-sawn white oak, furniture-style reeded detailing, and LED-lit glass cabinetry. The primary suite is designed as a private retreat with heated bathroom floors, a Brizo steam shower, and motorized Shade Store light-filtering shades throughout the bedroom and bath—preserving natural light and privacy. A dedicated fitness and wellness space supports daily movement and restoration, complemented by whole-home air filtration. Ambient lighting is incorporated throughout with illuminated cabinetry, stair lighting, and up-lit ceiling details. Designed to elevate daily living, this home is equally suited to quiet mornings, long dinners, effortless entertaining, and time away from the city without leaving it. Three outdoor environments include a front patio for morning coffee, a back patio with integrated herb garden beds for relaxed afternoons and dining, plus a rooftop deck with a gas fireplace for sunsets and evening cocktails. Urban, elevated, and deeply considered, 3685 Osage is a residence designed for living exceptionally well.
