Denver has long been recognized among the top U.S. cities for business and careers and is one of the best places to live in the nation for singles and young professionals. The Mile High is also highly regarded for its thriving arts and culture scene, incredible restaurants, and stunning natural beauty. Here we’ll take a look at some of the best Denver neighborhoods for singles and young professionals.

Capitol Hill
As one of the oldest neighborhoods in Denver, Capitol Hill has plenty of historic architecture—including the golden-domed Colorado State Capitol and a real estate market with classic cottages and Colonial Revival homes on “Millionaire’s Row.” Cap Hill is one of the best places to live for young professionals in a city already known for its strong job market. Young professionals living in this bustling Denver neighborhood can take advantage of quick commutes to nearby Fortune 500 companies just minutes away in the Central Business District.

Five Points
Once considered the “Harlem of the West,” Five Points has hosted music legends Billie Holiday and Miles Davis. Now, residents in Five Points enjoy indie and hip-hop acts at venues like Roxy Theatre and Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom, and the free annual Five Points Jazz Festival, which celebrates the neighborhood’s musical history. Singles and young professionals moving to Denver can find countless other things to do in this highly walkable neighborhood and its many micro-neighborhoods like the River North Arts District—known as RiNo to locals.

Highland
The fast-growing Highland neighborhood is a safe, affordable place to live for singles and young professionals moving to Denver. Within the greater Highland neighborhood, residents will find smaller niches with distinct vibes, including LoHi (aka Lower Highland), Tennyson Street, and Highlands Square. This chic Denver neighborhood blends older architecture with modern murals and contemporary apartments to achieve its eclectic aesthetic. Highland and its micro-neighborhoods also offer Denver residents plenty of shopping, places to eat, and things to do, including a wealth of outdoor recreation along the South Platte River.
