Auraria. Steps from the heart of Denver, this district hums with energy thanks to the Auraria Campus, where three institutions share leafy quads, river views, and a remarkable history. The original gold rush settlement lives on in Ninth Street Historic Park’s preserved homes, while the reimagined Tivoli Student Union anchors daily life with dining, study spots, and events. Sports and concerts are an easy stroll away at Ball Arena, and bike paths along the South Platte and Cherry Creek make quick work of errands, workouts, and weekend exploring.
For students and lifelong learners, the academic lineup is a standout: University of Colorado Denver, Metropolitan State University of Denver, and Community College of Denver share libraries, labs, and a collaborative spirit that spills into public lectures, galleries, and performances. Commuters appreciate RTD light rail connections and a walk-to-downtown lifestyle, while home seekers find modern apartments and condo options in and around the campus edges—ideal for anyone who values low-maintenance living with front-row access to classes, careers, and culture.
Daily needs are covered by on-campus amenities and nearby grocery, coffee, and fitness options, and the calendar rarely sits empty—think game nights, commencement buzz, film screenings, and festivals.
