One of Denver's streets was just named one of the coolest in the USA - did they get it right?!

What's the "coolest" street in Denver? And how is "cool" defined?

If you're looking for one of the "coolest" and hippest streets in Denver, you don't have to look any further than the River North (RiNo) neighborhood.

Denver's River North (RiNo) area is the city's "coolest" area and is red-hot for hipness,more

That's according to a real estate report released by Cushman & Wakefield, which detailed the "coolest" streets in the country.

What defines "cool?" According to the report, "cool" is very important because it defines what's "hot" in retail. And "cool" is what appeals to the country's millennial generation.

So why is RiNo "cool?"

"RiNo has also increasingly become a focal point of Denver's music and nightlife scene through a mix of live venues. Yet even with this recent prosperity, RiNo stands as one of the few areas remaining in Denver's urban core with available land and vacant buildings. Because of this, development is skyrocketing,"according to the Cushman and Wakefield report.

How much is development "skyrocketing" in RiNo?Here's a link to a Denver Business Journal storyaboutZeppelin Development'sbig new project in the area.

Another Denver area denoted as "cool" by the report, which listed the country's 100 "coolest" areas, included the Lower Highland (LoHi) neighborhood.
