Lower Highland (LoHi)
LoHi (Lower Highlands) is a high-energy, urban Denver neighborhood just northwest of Downtown, overlooking the South Platte River. Known for its walkability, skyline views, and standout dining and nightlife, LoHi feels dense, social, and distinctly city-focused.
Homes in LoHi range from historic Victorians and brick cottages to modern townhomes and contemporary condos, many with rooftop decks and city views. Residential streets are active, with housing woven closely into restaurants, bars, and gathering spaces. Easy access to Downtown Denver, Union Station, Commons Park, and the Platte River Trail makes LoHi especially appealing to buyers who want an urban lifestyle and minimal reliance on cars.
The greater Highlands area is comprised of LoHi and West Highland, so what makes them each unique? While West Highland offers a more traditional neighborhood feel—more single-family homes, and a quieter, community-oriented pace—LoHi is more compact and energetic. Buyers choosing LoHi tend to prioritize walkability, nightlife, and proximity to Downtown, while West Highland appeals to those looking for a little more space, fewer crowds, and a calmer residential environment.
