Just west of the heart of Downtown Denver sits the Auraria Neighborhood. Bordered by Cherry Creek on the east and the South Platte River on the west, this distinguished area offers a unique blend of modern excitement and historic flavor. Centrally located, the neighborhood is a convenient transportation hub as major light rail and bus routes are positioned throughout the area.
Home to a mix of colleges and universities, Auraria Campus brings a small, college town atmosphere to the large, cosmopolitan area. North of the campus, the Pepsi Center brings a wide variety of entertainment all year round. This contemporary sports complex is home to the Denver Nuggets and the Colorado Avalanche, as well as a few of the local teams. In addition to a myriad of sporting events, the Pepsi Center is a favorite venue for concerts and conventions, and is frequented by some of the largest names in music. Within walking distance of the Pepsi Center is one of the oldest and most enjoyed points of interest in Denver - Elitch Gardens. This renovated park offers over 60 acres of rides, attractions, and entertainment for all ages.
Traces of Historic Denver can still be enjoyed today by both residents and tourists alike, as a variety of notable landmarks and novelties are scattered throughout the area. The Heritage Streetcar Platte Valley Trolley still runs today, offering patrons a unique means of transportation beginning at Confluence Park in Auraria and servicing many of the entertainment and sporting venues that are resident to the neighborhood and beyond. Denver's recent urban renewal efforts have brought to the area many unique and newly renovated lofts, condominiums, and homes along with a variety of shops and restaurants that give the neighborhood a quaint flair amidst the fast paced society that it is encompassed by.
