Denver’s West Highland neighborhood is an urban oasis filled with small local businesses and a blend of Craftsman bungalows, Victorians, and modern scrapes.<\/p>\n
Conveniently located near Sloan’s Lake and Edgewater, with easy access to downtown Denver, Golden, and points west, West Highland is a tight-knit community that combines a small-town feel with big-city amenities.<\/p>\n
“You can’t create this charm in newer neighborhoods,” says Anna Domenico with West+Main. “The combination of old historic neighborhood charm with old main streets and small local businesses make it unique.”<\/p>\n
Carrie Craig with 8z says West Highland is a tight-knit community that provides a small neighborhood feel through community events like the Highlands Street Fair.<\/p>\n
The Denver neighborhood offers a mix of older and newer homes, historic row homes, and duplexes with some newer condos and townhouses.<\/p>\n
Craig says buyers want the combination of classic architecture and modern amenities they can find in the neighborhood’s homes that have been renovated and expanded.<\/p>\n
Buyers want homes in good condition because, with higher prices and interest rates, they don’t want the hassle or additional costs to remodel, Domenico says.<\/p>\n
“Fixer-uppers are still selling but not in as high demand as in the past years in West Highland and surrounding neighborhoods.”<\/p>\n
Prices in West Highland continue to climb, and potential buyers often enter bidding wars. Newer and updated homes sell quickly for prices above last year’s peak.<\/p>\n
The average sale price sits above $1 million for a single-family home. And with less than a month of available inventory, most homes sell in two to three weeks or less.<\/p>\n
“I sold a bungalow under 2,000 square feet that had been beautifully remodeled for $1 million,” Domenico says. “It sold for $116,000 over the list price.”<\/p>\n
Domenico says that West Highlands appeals to younger couples new to Denver or Colorado who have relocated for their jobs and enjoy the outdoors.<\/p>\n
“I also people who moved in from the suburbs who want to be in a walkable neighborhood,” she adds.<\/p>\n
The neighborhood also appeals to young families and empty nesters.<\/p>\n
“People fall in love with the area,” Craig says. “They tend to stay.”<\/p>\n
