Effortless commutes and car-free living options

The Dorchester's location in Capitol Hill provides residents with numerous transportation options, making it easy to navigate the city with or without a car. The neighborhood's excellent walkability means that many daily errands and activities can be accomplished on foot, with grocery stores, restaurants, and entertainment venues all within easy walking distance. For those who prefer cycling, the area boasts an extensive network of bike lanes and paths, making it a cyclist's dream. The nearby Cherry Creek bike path offers a scenic route for both commuting and leisure rides. Public transit is readily available, with several bus stops within a five-minute walk of the building. The 12th Ave & Pennsylvania St stop, served by the East 12th Avenue line, and the Grant St & 10th Ave stop, on the East 6th Avenue line, provide convenient access to various parts of the city. For longer journeys or trips to other neighborhoods, light rail options are available. The 16th-California and 20th-Welton stations, both serving the D Line, are about a 25-minute walk or a quick 5-minute drive away. These connections make it easy to reach downtown Denver and other key areas of the metropolitan region. Residents who need to travel further afield will appreciate the relatively quick access to Denver International Airport, which is about a 40-minute drive away. The airport is also accessible via public transportation, with direct light rail service available from downtown Denver. For those who choose to own a car, The Dorchester offers the convenience of deeded parking spaces in a secure, heated garage.
