Population: 9,100 Overview: At the center of this socially, economically and ethnically diverse neighborhood is Denver's first park, created in 1868, and the neighborhood's namesake, Curtis Park. The neighborhood has an array of housing types, a growing assortment of income levels and a population that is just as varied. The neighborhood remains as popular as it was when it was founded in the 1860's. The types of homes in the Curtis Park Neighborhood include Queen Anne-style houses, two-story brick houses, rowhouses and gorgeous Victorian mansions. Each type of house is interspersed among the others creating unique neighborhood blocks. Monogamous rows of houses typical in the suburbs will never be found in the Curtis Park area. Although Curtis Park has always been a mixed-income area, new development in the neighborhood is enhancing the attribute even more. Four blocks of public housing that were demolished in 2000 are currently being re-built under a federal HOPE VI grant. The project will include some market rate apartments and condominiums together with affordable and low-income units. The diverse population in Curtis Park is 30% African-American, 30% Latino and 40% Caucasian. The mix of ethnicities and income-levels has created a unique sense of community making Curtis Park one of the last areas where a neighbor is truly both a neighbor and a friend. Many small businesses can be found within the neighborhood. One of the largest establishments in the area is the Women's Bean Project, which is an entrepreneurial business and job skills program for low-income women. Thanks to programs such as these the workforce in the area is made up almost entirely of neighborhood residents. Except for renovations and the re-development of a few areas, Curtis Park is much like it was when it was founded nearly 150 years ago. Diversity, something so important to American culture today, can be used to describe every facet of this cherished neighborhood. Sources: Downtown Denver Partnership, Inc. and www.ThisisDenver.net

Uptown Boundaries: Broadway, Colfax Avenue, 23rd Avenue and York Street Population: 7,780 Overview: The Uptown neighborhood lies to the immediate east of Downtown Denver, and offers an eclectic mix of elements: restaurants, retail, historic mansions, new construction loft and condominium projects, hospital campuses, small office buildings, entertainment venues and neighborhood gathering places. It is quickly becoming one of the most popular neighborhoods in the city, due in large part to its ease of accessibility to Downtown's core.

New retail, housing and office development is changing Colfax's landscape, and the refurbished Fillmore Auditorium and Ogden Theater draw music fans for live performances. The numerous restaurants on 17th Street have resulted in a "Restaurant Row" destination attraction. Sources: Downtown Denver Partnership, Inc. and Uptown on the Hill Neighborhood Organization

The residential market in the upper portion of Downtown Denver has grown dramatically in recent years.

Some of the high-rises in the Central Business District have been converted into condominiums and lofts. Urban infill has contributed many residences, both market rate and affordable. Locals, new and old, will not be disappointed as there is an array of happenings right in their own backyard.

The Pepsi Center, Denver's newest sports complex, is on the edge of the Downtown and for those interested in the arts, the CBD is home to the Performing Arts Complex, Art Museum, History Museum and Paramount Theatre. Shopping enthusiasts can enjoy the Denver Pavilions and Tabor Center both located steps away on the 16th Street Mall. Dining is not taken lightly in the area as many restaurants, taverns and bars serve a variety of tastes. The Central Business District should not be characterized by its name. Although it may be the place where tens of thousands of people work each day, the CBD also provides a wealth of opportunities to live and play.

Lower Downtown Boundaries: Larimer Street, Speer Boulevard, Wewatta Street and 20th Street Population: 2,180 Overview: Lower Downtown--or LoDo, as it is commonly referred to--is located in the area where Denver was founded in 1858 by General William Larimer. Today, LoDo is a vibrant 25-block urban neighborhood comprised of brick warehouses, industrial buildings and commercial structures that have been renovated into offices, lofts and retail space. Lower Downtown was a bustling commercial area during Denver's early years. However, much of Denver's industrial economy shifted away from Lower Downtown after World War II, and almost one-fifth of the buildings in the area were demolished in the 1960s and 1970s. In order to preserve Denver's historic legacy, Denver City Council created the Lower Downtown Historic District in 1988. The historic district designation introduced zoning ordinances that limited building heights, preserved dozens of buildings from the wrecking ball, and instituted strict guidelines for building rehabilitation and new construction. Tax incentives and grants attracted investors to LoDo's brick and stone structures. More than 20 buildings in LoDo have been renovated since 1991. Today, LoDo is a mixed-use neighborhood that is also a regional destination attraction for entertainment. Art galleries, literally dozens of restaurants, brewpubs, jazz clubs, and specialty retail stores line the ground floors of historic buildings. LoDo residents enjoy proximity to outdoor parks and amenities, including the Cherry Creek bike path, the 16th Street Mall, and the recently completed 30-acre Commons Park in the Central Platte Valley. Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies, anchors the neighborhood's northwest corner at 20th and Blake Street. Wynkoop Street is home to historic Denver Union Station, the Tattered Cover bookstore, and the Wynkoop Brewing Co., Denver's first brewpub (and the country's largest) that opened in 1988. LoDo housing options range from million dollar lofts to below-market rate apartments. New construction-housing projects are beginning to appear as the number of vacant buildings in Lower Downtown available for renovation shrinks to nearly zero.
