If you are looking for the feel of the Highlands neighborhood without the Highlands price tag, you might consider checking out Edgewater, an area that is quickly gaining attention for all the right reasons.

Edgewater is a suburb of Denver with a population of just 5,334 and is part of Jefferson County. Living in Edgewater offers residents an urban and suburban mixed feel, with lots of bars, restaurants, and open space, thanks to Sloan’s Lake Park.

Bordering look-alike areas in Lakewood and Wheat Ridge, Edgewater has much of the same dynamic that Highland and LoHi would have had going for them a decade ago. Located on the west shore of Sloan’s Lake, the small city of Edgewater is a century old and has a median single-family price now of $500,000, well below prices just two miles east in Highland in the city of Denver.

The commute times to downtown is ideal, which has prompted some scrape-and-build activity in these old neighborhoods that drive average prices up. Exciting new additions to the neighborhood includes new dining options at Edgewater Public Market, just a few blocks from the city’s small, historic downtown.

According to ranking site, niche.com, Edgewater ranked #15 of 71 Best Suburbs for Young Professionals in Colorado; #18 of 71 Most Diverse Suburbs in Colorado; and #40 of 71 Suburbs with the Best Public Schools in Colorado.
