Sunnyside

The Highlands' northern frontier — historically a working-class Latino neighborhood now in the middle of Denver's most active infill construction zone. Original 1910s–1950s brick bungalows and cottages sit next to modern three-story townhomes and pop-top additions, creating a patchwork streetscape that reflects the neighborhood's transition. Zuni Street and 44th Avenue are developing a restaurant and café cluster, but Sunnyside still has fewer commercial amenities than LoHi or Tennyson — which is part of the appeal for buyers seeking lower prices with Highlands proximity. The 41st & Fox commuter rail station (RTD N Line) on the eastern edge connects to downtown in 8 minutes, adding a transit premium to nearby blocks. Azar's Mediterranean market has anchored the neighborhood for decades. More diverse and less polished than the southern Highlands zones, Sunnyside offers the widest price range and the most room for appreciation.
