Highlands is a great neighborhood to call home....or spend a lazy Saturday afternoon. If you are lucky enough to be a resident your legs (walking or biking) can get you just about everywhere this neighborhood has to offer during Denver's 300 days of sunshine.

Home to some of the best restaurants that Denver has to offer - Highlands is starting to be known as the foodie hub of Denver. It is also home to great local boutique shops which can be found witin the many business districts Highlands has to offer: Highlands Square at 32nd & Lowell, Tennyson Street from 38th to 44th, Lohi around Boulder & 16th, and the small area near 32nd & Zuni.

Highlands has a few "sub" neighborhoods, with different opinions of "official" boundaries. West Highlands (west of Federal), East Highlands (west of Zuni) and Lower Highlands aka LoHi (east of Zuni to I-25) all are located within the Highlands neighborhood. Just outside of the Highlands, to the north, are Berkeley and Sunnyside neighborhoods.

With tree-lined streets, historic charm, numerous boutique restaurants and shops and proximity to Downtown; this neighborhood will continue to increase in popularity for years to come.

Hilltop and Crestmoor are both wonderful, well-established neighborhoods with eternal appeal, excellent schools and the perfect centralized location. Both also have a wonderful mix of residents. But they do have their distinctions.

Hilltop boundaries run from Colorado Blvd to Holly (west-east) and 8th Ave to Alameda (north-south). Hilltop was established in 1893, has a voluntary Home Owners Association, is home to 2 neighborhood parks (Cranmer and Robinson), has a mixture of large and small lots as well as a wide vareity of home styles from 1930s English Tudors to New Construction custom built homes. Hilltop also has a strange mix of streets with alleys and some with no alleys.

Crestmoor consists of a smaller area from Ivanhoe to Locust (west-east) and 6th Ave to Bayaud (north-south). Crestmoor is an interesting mix of Neo-Classical (in Old Crestmoor) and 1950s ranches (in the 2nd Filing) to New Construction custom homes. Old Crestmoor was established in 1936 and the 2nd Filing of Crestmoor was established in 1947. Crestmoor has larger lots, no alleys and is part of a mandatory Home Owners Association. Crestmoor continues to surge in popularity because of the Crestmoor Swim and Tennis Club. Crestmoor residents do not have to endure the long wait list (which can be up to 10 years!) for membership to this club.

Both neighborhoods continue to be highly sought-after, not only for the schools and architectural diversity, but also for their central location and proximity to Cherry Creek and Downtown.
