Neighborhood Personality
Sunnyside is the neighborhood that savvy Denver buyers have been watching for years. It sits just north of Highlands, shares some of the same character and community feel, and offers price points that are meaningfully more accessible. The neighborhood is in the middle of a transformation — new restaurants and coffee shops are opening, renovation activity is high, and the community is engaged.
