Sunnyside

Sunnyside often gets lumped in with adjoining Highland, but in recent years, the once worn-down and industrial-leaning neighborhood has crafted a likable reputation all its own, thanks to an influx of new eateries, shops, and residents. The area’s revival is impacting home prices, too, with sale totals up almost 12 percent between 2017 and 2018. Plus, RTD’s new (as of April 2019) G Line stops just across the neighborhood’s eastern border, in Globeville. Sure, some of Sunnyside’s growth can probably be attributed to a spillover effect from the increasing popularity of Highland (to the south) and Berkeley (to the west), but the northern district which has held on to its strong Hispanic influences is poised to become one of Denver’s next great ’hoods.
