Lower Highlands, commonly referred to as LoHi, is situated near downtown Denver but has a distinct charm that separates itself from the bustling metropolitan area. Although this area is on the pricier side, the community spirit and innovative dining options more than make up for it.

LoHi’s character mirrors its location: somewhere between the wholesome-trendy West Highlands and the poised, sophisticated Riverfront Park. Walk downtown by crossing the Platte River at the Highland Arch Bridge or stay in LoHi to avoid the ballpark crowd and enjoy an Instagram-worthy happy hour. Because it’s located just north of downtown, you get unbeatable city and mountain views from this neighborhood.

LoHi residents unite over their shared interest in patio seating, coffee shops, craft breweries, and walking, biking, or running outdoors. Housing options in LoHi are mostly mid-rise residential buildings or ultra-modern townhomes. Expect higher rent prices, ample parking, and easy access to the highway.

Neighborhood Vibe

Walk through LoHi, and you’ll see people jogging on the sidewalks pushing strollers, sitting outside of coffee shops, stepping out to get the mail, and carrying reusable shopping bags to the nearest locally-owned grocery store. This area blends suburban and urban living with a dash of small-town-feel. You’ll bump into neighbors at rooftop happy hours, meet up to attend pilates classes, and enjoy the weekends at home in your little community.

Favorite Spots

Little Man Ice Cream is a local staple, and upstairs, Linger serves delicious treats with a skyline view. Catch incredible views of Denver’s skyline from the patio of El Five while you sip an artisan cocktail with an old-world style garnish. Can’t agree on a place to eat within your friend group? Head over to Avanti, a trendy two-story collaborative space where many high-quality vendors have a selection of multicultural foods to choose from.

Things to Know

As far as price point and proximity to downtown, LoHi is most similar to Cherry Creek. The main difference being geographic, as LoHi borders downtown to the North, while Cherry Creek is located to the south. It blends urban and suburban, offers plentiful upscale dining options, and boasts ample parking. LoHi has frequently been voted one of the best neighborhoods in the United States, and the rising popularity of this area shows it.

Great service, takes the stress out of apartment searching. This is actually my second time using Aptamigo in Denver. Worked with Bralie who was amazing. She was super communicative, candid, helpful, and definitely knew a lot about the market and buildings before touring. You pretty much just have a conversation on what you're looking for and they take care of the rest. Thanks for the help!

Aptamigo solves the worst part of apartment hunting - coordinating tours between all the various rental properties. While you may not see every property in the area, if you don't want to take time off of work or spend several weekends touring this is your place to go. They get it done in 1 weekend. Would recommend.

AptAmigo is the absolute best! The team was so thorough with my search for my apartment, getting to know me and my preferences. They handle everything from scheduling tours, sending suggested properties and making sure once you chosen your perfect spot that all is done to secure it. It was nice to have someone to go along with to the tours especially if you’re new in town.…

I had a wonderful experience as a client of AptAmigo. I recently accepted a job offer and needed to move to Denver from out of state. I was not super familiar with the area and trying to find the right apartment remotely was very stressful. However, working with Harris at AptAmigo was absolutely awesome! He was extremely responsive and very flexible when scheduling virtual…

I was a bit hesitant at first, we were only going to 4 buildings that day; and given that in my past experience of apartment hunting it had always taken me weeks and at least 20 places to see. However Scott knew exactly what I was looking for. The second building we visited was the one, I new it the second I stepped into the lobby. Scott heard exactly what I was looking for,…

I had a wonderful experience as a client of AptAmigo. I gave its team the difficult task of locating a move-in ready apartment for me with a deadline of about 2 weeks. The team had recommendations in my inbox within a few hours and tours lined up for the following day. Plus, those tours were accompanied by a knowledgeable guide. I'm extremely pleased with AptAmigo's services and would recommend them to anyone looking to rent in the Denver area.

I was skeptical about a service that was completely free. I’ve always looked and found a place on my own but I won’t again. Can’t recommend their service highly enough. Peter was extremely personable and made the process seamless.

AptAmigo is an amazing service that I would recommend to anyone!! My partner and I have been endlessly searching for apartments for the last year, and were afraid we were too picky and wishy/washy to move. Peter at AptAmigo was quick to pull up apartments that we wouldn't have been able to find alone. He was also quick to get us to make viewing appointments because he…
