Highlands / LoHi Neighborhood Guide currently: LoHi, West Highland, Berkeley, and the Streets That Define Northwest Denver
LoHi, West Highland, and Berkeley each have distinct identities within the broader Highlands market, and buyers who understand these distinctions before beginning active showings make better decisions.
LoHi (Lower Highlands)
LoHi is the most urban submarket of the Highlands complex, defined by its pedestrian bridge connection to Union Station, its concentration of newer townhome and condominium development alongside Victorian conversion product, and the immediate proximity to downtown Denver that makes it the preferred address for buyers who want urban density alongside the Highlands character.
LoHi's housing stock includes contemporary townhomes in the $600,000 to $900,000 range, renovated Victorian single-family homes, and some high-density condominium development that brings the density of downtown-adjacent living to a neighborhood with more residential street character than LoDo. The neighborhood's younger demographic skew and its energy from the 32nd Avenue dining corridor make it one of Denver's most talked-about urban neighborhoods in current relocation buyer research.
West Highland
West Highland, the established residential heart of the broader Highlands market, has the most developed Victorian single-family housing stock in the market. Streets lined with mature trees and well-maintained late-19th and early-20th century homes create a residential character that is architecturally rich in a way that LoHi's newer development does not fully replicate. West Highland is generally quieter in commercial energy than LoHi, with the 32nd Avenue corridor accessible but not immediately adjacent to all West Highland addresses.
Single-family homes in West Highland range from approximately $700,000 to $1.5 million and above for the most significantly renovated Victorian estates.
Berkeley
Berkeley, the northwestern extension of the Highlands market, has developed a specific character around Tennyson Street's independent retail and dining corridor, which rivals 32nd Avenue in its concentration of local businesses and weekend energy. Berkeley's more affordable price points relative to LoHi and West Highland attract buyers who want the Highlands lifestyle character at more accessible entry prices.
