 For
suburban dwellers eager to leave the responsibilities of lawn
maintenance and the burden of commuting behind, downtown living
has tremendous appeal. LoDo offers the excitement of urban
living with suburban amenities
The Birthplace of the Mile High City, Lower Downtown, or
LoDo, was designated a Historic District in 1988 by the Denver
City Council. This status protects old existing structures
and the ambiance of the city's colorful past.
 The
unique 25-block pedestrian-oriented neighborhood runs from
Cherry Creek to the west, to 20th Street to the east, and
from Market Street to the south, to Wynkoop Street to the
north. It is one of the few mixed-use neighborhoods in the
country.
In the past decade, this area has experienced a true renaissance,
with businesses, entertainment, restaurants, and residential
properties proliferating. Today, LoDo is home to several dozen
art galleries, hundreds of restaurants, several breweries,
dozens of specialty shops, and a unique collection of bars
and nightclubs.
Lifestyle choices range from luxury lofts to two-story condominiums.
Many homes offer spectacular city skyline or mountain views.
For those wishing to walk to work and to a variety of sports
and entertainment activities, LoDo has no equal. Its locale
places residents within walking or light rail distance of
the aforementioned, plus downtown office buildings; cultural
events; the Denver Performing Arts Complex; the Denver Art
Museum; the architecturally distinctive Denver Public Library;
Coors Field (home of the Colorado Rockies baseball team);
Denver Pavillions, an outdoor shop- ping mall in the heart
of the city; Larimer Square; and the Shops at Tabor Center.
Residents can even buy fresh produce at the Farmer's Market
from June through October.
 Nearby,
the Cherry Creek bike path attracts skaters, joggers and cyclists.
Just a hop, skip and a jump to the booming Central Platte
Valley near downtown, is Colorado Ocean Journey, a 106,500
S.F aquarium, and the 67-acre Six-Flags Elitch Gardens Amusement
Center. The area also features easy access to I-25, Denver
International Airport and the Denver Technological Center
via the 20th Street interchange.
Bordering the new Commons Park along the South Platte River,
Riverfront Park is a new 25-acre mixed used development of
retail and 2,500 residences of condos, townhomes, and unique
lofts. Bordered by 20th Street, the South Platte River and
Park Avenue, Prospect Place is another new urban village that
will eventually include eight buildings of trendy lofts plus
retail amenities. Bordered on the north by West Colfax Avenue,
on the west by Speer Boulevard, and on the east by Lincoln
Street, The Golden Triangle has now become a residential mecca
of both warehouse-style lofts and luxury high-rise residential
complexes, including Beauvallon, a new twin-tower 200-plus
luxury condo complex offering everything from valet service,
restaurants, galleries and gourmet market to a fitness center
and rooftop pool.
Like LoDo,The Golden Triangle affords easy access to everything
a downtown Denver has to offer.
