Highlands is a neighborhood in the City and County of Denver.

Denver CO Neighborhoods : Highlands

Highlands Ranch and Parker are suburbs to the south and southeast of Denver.

Stapleton is a nice but expensive urban infill project (former site of the airport) that's unfortunately surrounded by ghetto on 3 sides. Its right by the arsenal.

so confusing... I will be there tomorrow and looking Tuesday and Wednesday. Just hopping to find a nice apartment for now and buy later in the year.

Stapleton, and also Lowry would be a good choice for you for a new, clean apartment if you have to work near the Arsenal area.

If you work in the DTC, then it makes sense to live in southern suburbs such as Aurora, Centennial, Littleton, Englewood, Lonetree.

If you work downtown, you can live in the south but some of the north, northwest and western suburbs are closer, such as Westminster, Arvada, Wheat Ridge, Lakewood, Broomfield.

If you work in the north near the Airport then Northglenn, Thornton, Commerce City, Aurora and Brighton may be better.

If you are looking for established older suburbs, there are many parts in all suburbs that can meet your needs.

However, if you are working in Denver then consider living in Denver. There are many fine established neighborhoods and some look like a suburban environment. Many people who come here from other cities, especially eastern cities, believe that the suburbs are the best and prime areas to live because of their experience with other metro areas. That is not true in Denver. Denver is very expansive, with much open space and parks, and has all types of neighborhoods that can meet your needs. In addition, you will find Denver much safer and cleaner than many of the other cities in your experiences.

Keep in mind that Denver is growing and many people are moving into the city not fleeing decay as you see in many cities. These people are natives and long term residents who do know what the city has to offer. In addition, we are seeing new arrivals, from many economic classes, going into our city because they have heard how great things about living in Denver. So if you are looking for an older established neighborhood with good characteristics, then I would suggest looking at Denver. Search this website and read about the neighborhoods mentioned and to give you a guide, here is a map of the Denver neighborhoods:
