Today’s Neighborhood Spotlight takes a look at one of Denver’s fastest growing and relatively newer neighborhoods, the Union Station neighborhood!

This neighborhood is built upon the old railyards that made the western border for central downtown. Now, this real estate represents some of the fastest developing and most innovative use of limited space in the Mile High City. An entire neighborhood has risen with a lofty walkscore and enviable restaurants, not to mention the connectivity.

North: 20th Street
East: Lawrence Street
South: Cherry Creek Trail

Historic multi-story buildings, skyscrapers, high-end condo and apartment buildings

Why We Like Union Station:

It’s simply buzzing.  Under the shadow of skyscrapers, Denverites navigate the traffic on busy, one-way streets.  Even though foot and vehicle traffic slows down on evenings and weekends when the offices close, happy hours, restaurants, bars and weekend brunches keep this neighborhood lively.

If you have any questions about this neighborhood, or if you're ready to go see some homes there, we're here for you!  It's time to sell your home for top dollar and/or invest in the home you want and the life you dream about.
