Uptown is where it’s at. Immediately east of Downtown Denver and north of Capitol Hill, this growing urban-living area is now host to an eclectic mix of destinations from sports bars and black box theaters, to traditional restaurants and trendy new cantinas. The ever-eccentric Colfax with its convenience, live-music venues, and neighborhood renewal programs borders the south, while 20th Street sits to the north, taking you into Downtown Denver.

But it’s 17th Avenue that defines the Uptown neighborhood, where hip restaurants, vegan delights, and popular bars live in harmony on “restaurant row.” Though it's not all dining and retail here—among the Uptown real estate you'll find a mix of luxury condos, tidy bungalows, and delicate Queen Annes. With the older homes dating back to the 19th century, coupled with the neighborhood's towering early 20th-century Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, this neighborhood combines a contemporary urban atmosphere with a historic vibe. Public transportation, including buses, provides direct access to the core of Downtown. For the chic and urban set, buying in Uptown delivers with style, offering a lively, cultural neighborhood to call home.
