Denver's River North Art District, affectionately known as RiNo, is a charming and historical neighborhood that boasts a unique mix of residential and commercial spaces. The area is a popular spot for artists and art lovers alike, with its loft-style condos, townhomes, apartments, and single-family homes providing an ideal canvas for creativity. But it's not just about housing - RiNo is also home to a vibrant community of restaurants, bars, and breweries, making it a lively and eclectic place to call home.
The neighborhood's nickname, "the place where art is made," is well-deserved. RiNo is not only home to a variety of art galleries and studios, but also features eye-catching street art that adds to the neighborhood's vibrant atmosphere. According to Samantha Weis, a real estate agent with 8z, RiNo is a particularly appealing spot for a certain type of buyer. "For a particular buyer, RiNo is a great spot," she explains. "It's got a sophisticated, funky, artistic vibe that really draws people in."
So, what kind of housing options are available in this colorful neighborhood? Well, there's something for everyone - from brand new and renovated condos and townhomes to original Victorian homes and cozy bungalows. Prices vary as well, with condos ranging from the mid-$200s to $2.5 million, and single-family homes starting at $600,000 and going up to over $1.5 million. And for those looking to rent, there's the newly completed One River North - a 16-story apartment tower with 187 units, including studios and luxurious penthouses with landscaped balconies.
Weis notes that RiNo attracts a diverse mix of residents, from young professionals to retirees. "People who are moving to Denver from out of state love to explore RiNo," she says. "Many of them embrace it. There are so many fun things to do here - from live music to pop-up fairs. If you want to immerse yourself in the artistic vibe, RiNo is the place to be. It's a fun place to call home."
Apart from its bustling art scene, RiNo also boasts a number of other highlights. For beer lovers, there are over a dozen breweries to choose from, including popular spots like Our Mutual Friend, Great Divide, Black Shirt Brewing Co., and Epic Brewing. Foodies will be delighted to find three food halls in the neighborhood - Denver Central Market, The Source Hotel and Market Hall, and Zeppelin Station - offering a diverse range of dining options.
But it's not just about food and drinks in RiNo. The neighborhood is also known for its annual street art festival, Denver Walls, which is part of the global World Wide Walls initiative. This event, launched in 2010, aims to beautify cities and connect local artists with their communities. Last year, Denver became the 25th city to host an event, featuring 17 new murals by 18 artists from seven countries. And for those interested in learning more about the street art scene in RiNo, there's a two-hour walking tour that showcases the best murals, graffiti, and street art in the area.
But the artistic offerings in RiNo don't end there. Music lovers can catch live performances at venues like Mission Ballroom and Nocturne Jazz and Supper Club. With so much to see, do, and experience, it's no wonder that RiNo is such a popular and vibrant neighborhood for both residents and visitors alike.
