first there was lodo or lower downtown which was popularized in the 1990s when coors field was
built as the popularity of downtown pushed outward low high or lower highlands became the hot spot
beginning in 2000 and if you live in denver you probably know where we're at we're standing at
the iconic highland bridge which connects downtown denver to the ever popular and always evolving low
high we're going to take you on a tour and show you what it could be like if you were living here
in loji but first let's take a quick trip back in time to find out what it was like to live here
before it was coined with this name the highlands saw a lot of growth after a flood in 1864
destroyed parts of denver people sought refuge in this area as it sits at a higher elevation than
much of the rest of denver the area has always been a diverse one with rich ethnic histories and
the italian and hispanic influences can still be seen today in the architecture and the restaurants
in the early 1900s this neighborhood was connected to downtown by the denver tramway corporation
streetcar as a streetcar suburb they were way ahead of their time for public transportation
the neighborhood today is bordered by i-25 on the east speer boulevard on the south
zunai street on the west and 38th avenue on the north so what makes this such a popular
neighborhood for people to live in and call home there are a lot of reasons and one big one this
is a dining destination there are so many great options here including root down linger and l5 a
favorite is the avanti fnb collective which brings together several different restaurant concepts
each housed in modified shipping containers bonus the views of downtown denver from here
are spectacular yes dining is important but what else draws people to live in loja
the proximity to downtown and i-25 making it easy for people to jump on a major highway
to get anywhere plus you can walk ride your bike or take a quick car ride to everything downtown
how about another reason there are several parks in the neighborhood including hershorn
and right here in highland gateway park which we are standing in right now which is next to avani
take a stroll just across the highland bridge and you'll find yourself in the sprawling commons park
with access to the south platte river trail and yet another reason people love to live in loji the
real estate here is so diverse it gives people countless options of types and styles of homes
to live in it's the perfect example of an urban neighborhood here you'll find a mix of historic
updated single-family homes like this classic tudor style home that we helped our clients sell
earlier this year it has all the charm of a 1940 home with updated features today's
buyers are looking for there are also plenty of historical duplexes and new construction
townhomes single-family homes and condos for sale lojai also has several luxury apartment buildings
if you're looking to rent instead of to own you're probably wondering what it costs to live in loji
with a neighborhood this much in demand it's probably no secret it's no bargain here the
average price of a home is 771 thousand dollars that includes single-family condos and townhomes
if renting is more up your alley and you want newer construction prepare to pay at least 1600
per month for a studio apartment and at least 3 500 per month for a two bedroom apartment wow
