Highlands Home Buying Guide

Denver's most walkable, fastest-changing corridor — Victorians, rowhomes and new construction from LoHi to Berkeley.

What it's like to live here

The Highlands is really a collection of adjoining neighborhoods — LoHi, West Highland, Sunnyside and Berkeley — anchored by 32nd Avenue and Tennyson Street's restaurant and retail corridors, just northwest of downtown.

Housing types

A dense mix of Victorian and early-1900s single-family homes, modern rowhomes and townhomes, and new-construction condos, especially in LoHi.

Character

One of Denver's most walkable and fastest-changing areas, popular with young professionals and buyers who want density and nightlife within walking distance.

Proximity

Minutes from downtown by car, bike or bus, with quick highway access via I-25 for commuters heading elsewhere in the metro.

HOA prevalence

Common on newer townhomes and condo buildings; less common on older detached single-family homes, though many have been converted to duplexes with shared-wall considerations.

Price data

Typical home values across the Highland area have recently run in the $750,000 to $820,000 range on average, with premium pockets like LoHi and parts of West Highland pricing meaningfully higher — some reports put the broader Highlands/LoHi corridor closer to $1 million at the median.

Property tax and financing considerations

Most Highlands purchases fall within conventional conforming limits, though homes at the top of the range (particularly new construction in LoHi) can approach or exceed them. Because many properties are older with additions, duplexed lots, or converted units, title and permit history are worth extra attention — and financing on a legally non-conforming duplex or ADU can require specific loan programs.

Financing a Home in Highlands

Financing in the Highlands often comes down to property type: a straightforward single-family purchase usually fits conventional programs, while a duplex, ADU or new-construction condo may call for a more specific loan product. If price points push toward the top of the range, ask early whether you're brushing up against jumbo territory.
