I’ve been thinking for a while now about writing a post about some neighborhoods near Downtown Denver that have SO much potential – and what do you know, Westword has gone and done it for me, complete with corresponding Google street view links!
Everybody knows I love Northwest Denver, and I believe in its future development and potential with all my heart. I just have a soft spot for the place where I had the MOST fun bartending (at Three Dogs Tavern when it first opened) and the office that I now call my second home (at LIVE Urban Real Estate) – I have seen this area grow and evolve in the coolest, most organic and honest way, and I just can’t wait to see what happens next. Of course, the closer to Highland Square you get, the pricier the properties get, as well – but there are some areas that have yet to cross that jumbo-loan barrier, and I think that there are some great investments to be had – in Sunnyside, in South Highlands, and even in LoHi.
There are also some areas that have yet to be tapped out as far as development on the other side of the city – in Park Hill, Montclair, and even Globeville. I think this is a super interesting wrap-up by the Westwood, and a good little guide to use if you are looking for either residential or commercial properties that would be affordable to either first-time buyers or entrepreneurs, before they get too hot to handle.
