Welcome to Highland/Sloan Lake

Sloan's Lake and Highland are two neighborhoods in Denver, Colorado. Sloan's Lake is home to the city's second-largest park (Sloan Lake Park), stunning views of the Rocky Mountains, and the city's glittering metropolis. Many of the neighborhood's residents can be seen jogging, cycling, or simply taking in the scenery in the neighborhood's central park and lake.
 
Highland (West Highland) is perched above the hills overlooking Downtown Denver. It is generally divided into three sections: Highlands Square, Lower Highland (LoHi), and Platte Street. Highlands has seen consistent growth in development over the past few decades, primarily in the form of residential construction. It is a complete tourist destination, with a wide variety of hip eateries, bars, cafes, and boutiques to keep visitors engaged day and night.
 

What to Love

  • Gorgeous views of downtown Denver and the Rocky Mountains

At 177 acres, Sloan Lake Park is Denver's second-largest park and home to the city's largest lake. There is something for everyone at this location, with two playgrounds, tennis courts, several sporting fields, boating, basketball courts, multi-use trails, and picnic spaces.

Dining, Entertainment, & Shopping

Toast Wine & Spirits, which has been in business since 2006, is a wine and spirits shop that imports products worldwide. The knowledgeable staff, many of whom have worked as sommeliers, selects wines that are both reasonably priced and of high quality for both everyday dining and special occasions. Ruby Jane Boutique, Kate Maller Jewelry, Rustic Thread Boutique, 32nd Avenue Books, Common Era, and Wordshop are just a handful of the top stores in the Highlands.
 
These two neighborhoods have a vibrant food scene. Some of the best and cheapest breakfast burritos in town can be had at Santiago's, while Chili Verde serves up expertly prepared Mexican snacks, and Rise & Shine Biscuit Kitchen serves up biscuits made from scratch.
 
Several unique restaurant concepts are housed in repurposed shipping containers at the innovative Avanti Food & Beverage. In one convenient location, you can sample a wide range of delicious, reasonably priced dishes prepared by talented chefs. Restaurants like Linger and El Five, which all boast panoramic views of the city, are well worth a visit for their food and atmosphere. Other notable restaurants in the area include Edible Beats, Ohana Island Kitchen, The Patio at Sloans, Root Down, and Little Man Ice Cream.
