Lower Highland, or LoHi, is a vibrant part of town that’s enormously popular to live in, thanks to its welcoming vibe, hipster foodie scene, and easy access to downtown. You might also hear Denver natives refer to the area as Northside, which encompasses the greater North Denver. Anyone living in the nabe knows that you’re just a few blocks (at most) away from plenty of cool independent eateries, including a street food–inspired restaurant inside a former mortuary or an ice cream shop inside a 28-foot-tall metal can. Thanks to its location on a hill, LoHi offers panoramic views of Downtown Denver and the Rocky Mountains from its many restaurant rooftops and patios. The neighborhood restricts any structure to three stories or fewer, preserving the sightlines. LoHi is great for car-free commuting, too, including strolling or riding your fixie over the pedestrian Highland Bridge, which connects the area to downtown.
