The Uptown neighborhood lies to the immediate east of Downtown Denver, and offers an eclectic mix of the elements: restaurants, shopping, gorgeous 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, and its proximity to several Denver hospitals. A longtime presence in the Uptown neighborhood has been a complex of hospitals: St. Joseph's, Presbyterian/St. Luke's, and Kaiser Permanente occupy three hospitals near the intersection of 18th & Franklin Street. These hospitals employ nearly 10,000 workers.

The majority of the neighborhood is single family homes on tree-lined boulevards that separate the sidewalks from the street. Uptown's southern boundary is Colfax Avenue, Denver's traditional retail and services corridor that is undergoing a remarkable recovery. The city has been making leaps and bounds in reviving this historical street. The refurbished Fillmore Auditorium and Ogden Theater draw music fans for live performances on a nightly basis. The numerous restaurants on 17th Street have been dubbed "Restaurant Row" by the locals.   Click here for more info.
