Lodo

When one thinks of a vibrant city lifestyle where restaurants, coffee shops and art galleries are within steps from your front door, Lodo is the place that comes to mind. Denver’s Lodo has blossomed in the past decade thanks to the foresight of some very wise people. Once the site of abandoned old brick buildings, Lodo was a scary place to be at night. Lodo now demonstrates how time has changed, it’s now a destination.

There are many reasons why people choose to live in Lodo. For singles it is the center of nightlife activity. For people who work downtown and prefer to drive as little as possible, Lodo is a good choice. The light rail station can accommodate commutes to the suburbs, the Free 16th Street Mall bus originates in Lodo connecting to the Central Business District.

Sport fans love living in Lodo; venues such as Coors Field (Home of the Colorado Rockies) flanks Lodo to the north. The Pepsi Center (home to both the Colorado Avalanche and Denver Nuggets) borders Lodo to the south. Of course to watch the Denver Broncos play one has to cross the bridge to get to Mile High, but even that walk is only 10 or 15 minutes!

Cyclists, joggers, dog walkers alike love hopping on the Cherry Creek bike trail. This wonderful trail leads east or west and continues north and south at Confluence Park. No matter which way one chooses to point, the trail continues on for many miles.

For skiers the the ski train leaves from Union Station for Winter Park. No excuses for not getting in plenty of snow days!

Recently CNN Money named Lodo one of the Best Neighborhoods to Retire!

Housing opportunities in Lodo consist mainly of lofts and high rises. Entry level prices begin at $400,000 for 1000 sq. ft. Lodo is popular and true to the laws of supply and demand, Lodo is not cheap! But when one considers all the amenities that come with the package of home ownership, Lodo delivers a strong value.

Go Rockies!
