The birthplace of the Mile High City, Lower Downtown or LoDo, was designated a Historic District in 1988 by the Denver City Council. This status protects the old existing structures and the ambiance of the city?s colorful past. Today, LoDo is home to some three dozen art galleries, 50 restaurants, 5 breweries, dozens of specialty shops, a unique collection of bars and nightclubs ? with many more on the way.
For suburban dwellers eager to leave the responsibilities of lawn maintenance and the burden of commuting behind, downtown living has tremendous appeal. LoDo offers the excitement of urban living with suburban amenities. The area offers art galleries, museums, the Denver Center for the Performing Arts complex, Coors Field, the Pepsi Center and specialty shops ? all within walking distance. Lifestyle choices range from luxury lofts to two-story condominiums.
