Golden Hills

This Lakewood neighborhood saw impressive price increases and it's not a surprise. Conveniently located near future RTD locations and The Colorado Mills shopping center, amenities abound for such a low-profile community.

Valverde

A mixture of industrial complexes and single family homes, Valverde presents a fantastic opportunity to live in Denver without the premium home price. But jump in quickly values are rising at a speedy rate.

Globeville

With the South Platte River running through it and it's close vicinity to LoHi and Sunnyside, Globeville is Denver's newest up and coming neighborhood. Plus, RTD has a Globeville stop in the works!

West Colfax

Sandwiched between Sloan's Lake and Lakewood, West Colfax has evolved alongside its neighbors. If you haven't yet tasted a sushi burrito, try West Colfax's Motomaki for the largest sushi roll imaginable. And, if you're lucky enough to own a home in this neighborhood, give yourself a pat on the back.
