Depending on the source, the section of Uptown east of Downing Street is often called City Park West. However for this description both neighborhoods will be treated as a whole. Bordered on the north by 20th Avenue, Park Avenue and 23rd Avenue, on the east by York Street, on the south by Colfax Avenue and on the west by Broadway, the Uptown neighborhood can be split into three architectural sections. Starting with the York Street mansions, the eastern section of Uptown is overwhelmingly broad-shouldered Denver squares mixed with scattered Victorians and urban-chic condos. The middle blocks are mostly older Victorians and brick apartment buildings as well as Queen Ann’s with wrap-around porches. These first two sections share an aesthetic of canopied tree-lined streets, plots of grass and small front yards. In contrast, the western side of Uptown is almost entirely high-rises, parking lots and apartment buildings with more concrete-and-glass than trees and grass.

Bordered by major nerve-centers like Colfax and Broadway, home to a commercial section of 17th and directly adjacent to downtown, the Uptown neighborhood is an exciting place to live. For starters try the historic Capital Hill Book Store, the cozy Irish Snug bar and the chandeliered Fillmore Auditorium. For what Colfax lacks, “restaurant row” on 17th Avenue includes everything from Steuben’s eclectic lobster roll versus mac-and-cheese-fare to the Thin Man’s fruit-infused vodka. Also, with close proximity to City Park and downtown there’s something for the dog lover, the Rockies fanatic and all points in-between. Colfax, Park and 20th are all major thoroughfares leading to I-25, I-70 or both.

Due to its prime location there’s major development happening in Uptown. At 20th and Logan a 172 unit mixed-use condo tower with 112 condo units and 60 units retail space started late in 2007. The Old Market Lofts is a 27 unit condo project slated for completion in 2008. At Park Avenue and Tremont, 92 rental units and 37 townhomes are aimed for a 2009 unveiling. There’s a 5-story, 18 unit condo building going up on 17th and Downing. A multi-block project includes East Village Block 4 with 136 units of eight townhomes and 128 apartments, and East Village Block 5 with 268 units of seven townhomes, 91 apartments and 17 condos with retail space. The Gilpin Grove townhomes are two 3-story buildings with a total of 10 units. In a different type of project the Edge at City Park is transforming an abandoned office building into 16 condos and then adding an adjacent 5-story, 16 unit building.
