Urban living in a vibrant, central location
Uptown is a hip, residential area with eclectic global eateries and bars ranging from casual dives to sleek cocktail lounges. Uptown residents choose a metropolitan lifestyle right in the middle of Denver, where they can walk to a number of top-tier eateries, stop by intimate performance venues like the Avenue Theater and the Fillmore Auditorium or take the bus to see some of the city's best parks and attractions. Uptown is also where the hip and retro live side-by-side; while walking down the street, residents can admire the historic architecture of well-known buildings like the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception before stepping into their modern apartment or a trendy, vibrant shop. This iconic, centrally-located neighborhood of Colorado's largest city is also known for being the home of the Colorado State Capitol Building, which has long served as an architectural ambassador for the state and still is an important cultural touchpoint for Coloradoans and tourists alike. "People move here who want to enjoy the great location and 24/7 energy," says Justin Joseph, a Realtor in the area who has practiced real estate law and sold homes since 2017, adding that "residents can walk in any direction from their homes and find great bars and restaurants." With bustling city streets, lively nightlife and access to many of Denver's biggest attractions all nearby, Uptown has a little bit of everything Colorado has to offer on tap.

Restaurant Row and other options
Spanning the length of East 17th Street, Restaurant Row is the heart of Denver's active food and nightlife scene and runs right through the middle of Uptown. With Restaurant Row so close, residents can walk out their front doors to find eateries, bistros, bars and fine dining options suited for any palette. Local hotspots include Ace Eat Serve, a Pan-Asian combination pool hall and social nexus with spacious indoor and outdoor seating to accommodate even large gatherings. Guy Fieri's "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" featured Steuben's, which offers everything from fried chicken to lobster rolls. Of course, it wouldn't be Denver without a healthy mix of great vegetarian and vegan options like Watercourse Foods with sports bars for local diehard fans like Stoney's Uptown Joint. Fans of the Colorado Rockies and Denver Broncos alike can gather here to celebrate or commiserate about everything going on in professional sports, from football to basketball or hockey. With over 30 flat-screen televisions, getting a view will be the least of residents' concerns. For groceries, residents can take a quick walk over to Natural Grocer's on Brighton Boulevard or catch the bus up to the popular 16th Street mall, a mile-long pedestrian promenade with even more shops and restaurants to explore.

Condos and historical homes in the heart of Denver
With an average sales price of about $610,000, there's a range of home styles and price points for prospective residents. Walking the streets, residents might notice the juxtaposition of ornate, classic architecture next door to high-rise buildings like modern apartments and condos. A few streets offer the typical neighborhood experience of grassy lawns and front porch relaxing, but these options are making way for denser dwellings. Like most of Uptown, also called Capitol Hill, the area has seen expansive redevelopment to support the growing population. Condos are available starting for as low as $215,000 dollars in both modern high-rise buildings and older, renovated buildings, while more traditional, Queen Anne and Victorian-style homes are also available, ranging from $800,000 to multi-million dollar properties featuring original construction from the turn of the twentieth century and unique architectural details.

Public events and festivals in the state capital
Adjacent to Uptown is the iconic Civic Center Park, home of the city's most famous annual events including seasonal holiday celebrations like the lighting of the Mile High Tree. A 110-foot-tall digital art installation, the Mile High Tree is an innovative light production and America's largest digital tree, cavernous enough to walk inside. The lighting of the tree also coincides with the opening of the Denver Christkindlmarket, the city's authentic German holiday market. In the summer months, the Shine Music Festival, a charity concert featuring local acts, helps spread awareness of the barriers that prevent people with disabilities from enjoying live music. Newcomers to the area will want to check out A Taste of Colorado, a festival where Colorado's best offerings converge on the city for Labor Day weekend to revel in the sights, sounds and tastes of the Centennial State.
