Is it walkable?
One of the more walkable parts of Denver, especially if you live within a few blocks of 32nd Avenue or in LoHi near the bridges to downtown.
What's walkable: Lower Highland (LoHi) near the pedestrian bridges, West 32nd Avenue including Highland Square, and the Highland Bridge over I-25 to downtown.
Drive times
| Downtown Denver | about 5–10 min |
|---|---|
| Denver Tech Center | about 20–25 min |
| Golden | about 15–20 min |
| Boulder | about 25–30 min |
Approximate, at normal (non-rush) traffic. Rush hour, weekend mountain traffic and snow can add a lot.
Transit
No rail inside the neighborhood. RTD buses run on the main avenues, and from LoHi you can walk or bike to Union Station and downtown over the Highland Bridge.
What it's like
Northwest Denver right across I-25 from downtown. LoHi is the busiest part, with newer townhomes and condos close to the bridges. Farther west toward Highland Square you find older brick homes and bungalows on calmer streets.
