Eclectic and welcoming streets in West Highland
West Highland’s personality shines through both the community and the architecture. It’s the kind of place residents are proud and excited to talk about, and it offers new homebuyers a chance to own close to downtown Denver and Sloan’s Lake without the markup. “Highland and West Highland are the new hot spots outside of downtown. It’s quiet and beautiful,” says Sam Neumann, Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Urban Elite and host of the popular YouTube channel Denver Living with Sam Neumann. “And unlike Sloan’s Lake, the median price stays below $1 million. It has a nice little strip along 32nd Avenue with cantinas and shops,” Neumann says. With a seamless blend of eclectic architecture, fine dining and nearby green spaces, it’s no surprise that homes here sell faster than the national average.
West Highland's popular 32nd Ave has lots of local spots to eat and shop at.
