Denver’s River North Art District, known as RiNo, is a historic neighborhood with loft-style condos, townhomes, apartments, single-family homes, restaurants, bars, and breweries.
Known as “the place where art is made,” RiNo is also home to art galleries, studios, and vibrant street art.
“For a particular buyer, RiNo is a great spot,” said Samantha Weis with 8z. “It’s got a sophisticated, funky, artistic vibe.”
What’s available?
Housing options include new and renovated condos, lofts, and townhomes. The neighborhood also offers a few original Victorians or bungalows.
Prices range from the mid-$200s to $2.5 million for condos and from $600,000 to more than $1.5 million for single-family homes.
RiNo is also home to the newly completed One River North, a 16-story, 187-unit apartment tower known for its distinctive canyon filled with plants. Units for lease range from studios to penthouses with landscaped balconies.
Weis said the neighborhood draws young professionals and retirees who seek a bustling metro vibe.
“People who are moving to Denver from out of state love to explore RiNo,” she said.
“Many of them embrace it. There are many fun things to engage with, from music to pop-up fairs. If you want to immerse yourself in the artistic vibe, RiNo is the place to go. It’s a fun place to be.”
