A mix of residential and industrial near downtown Denver

Flanked by the industrial South Platte area along the river and hugged by the College View residential zones near South Federal Boulevard, this conjoined neighborhood presents a true partnership between bustling business and suburban heart. “Commuters like College View because all of the train stations are nearby on Santa Fe Drive, so you can be in downtown Denver in 30 minutes,” says Sam Neumann, Realtor with The Denver Living Group of Keller Williams Realty Urban Elite and host of the popular YouTube channel Denver Living with Sam Neumann. Residents here have easy access to outdoor escapes, a lively dining scene on South Broadway, quick commutes, and quiet residential streets. “It’s mostly just industrial space along the river, so it’s not densely populated,” Neumann says.
