The Story of LoHi
🏕️
1859
Across the River from Denver
Lower Highlands sits on bluffs west of the South Platte River, part of the original Highland Town platted in 1859. Its elevation provided views and separation from downtown's flood-prone flats.
🏘️
Late 1800s
Working-Class Immigrant Community
LoHi developed as a tight-knit neighborhood of Italian, Mexican, and Irish immigrant families, many working in nearby industries along the Platte River corridor.
🏚️
1930s–1980s
Stability, Then Decline
Mid-century LoHi was a quiet residential area. By the 1980s, disinvestment and suburban flight had left many Victorian homes neglected and commercial strips vacant.
✨
Early 2000s
Artist and Homebuyer Discovery
Artists and young professionals drawn by affordable Victorian homes began renovating LoHi's housing stock, kicking off a slow but steady transformation.
🍽️
2010s
Restaurant and Bar Boom
Little Man Ice Cream (2008), Root Down (2008), and a wave of upscale restaurants and rooftop bars turned LoHi into one of Denver's most coveted dining destinations.
🌉
2014
Highland Bridge Changes Everything
The pedestrian Highland Bridge physically and symbolically linked LoHi to downtown — foot traffic increased dramatically and residential values surged.
