Making a move to Denver area soon, and looking to explore the neighborhoods? Check out the RiNo neighborhood to see if it’s the right fit for you.
RiNo isn’t a traditional residential neighborhood; it’s a dynamic arts and business district that weaves together older neighborhoods into a hip, creative core. Former industrial buildings now house galleries, studios, cafes, breweries, and boutiques, all wrapped in vibrant murals and street art. Many of the homes in RiNo are converted industrial lofts and condos.
Bold Eats, Brews & Culture
- Indoor food halls like The Source, Zeppelin Station, and Denver Central Market offer diverse dining under one roof.
- It’s a craft beer and distillery hub—Ratio Beerworks, Great Divide Barrel Bar, Left Hand, Bierstadt Lagerhaus, Infinite Monkey Theorem (winery), Colorado Sake Co., and more are all local favorites.
- Live music and festivals thrive here—from the Mission Ballroom and Larimer Lounge venues to street-art celebrations like Denver Walls.
Walkable, Bikeable, & Well-Connected
RiNo is extremely walkable and bikeable, with most of your amenities just blocks away and plenty of bike lanes to keep you safe while running errands. The area is also close to the RTD where you can head to Westminster, Wheat Ridge, or Denver International Airport.
Real Estate Snapshot
- If renting, the average monthly rent is about $2,100, above national average, though slightly cheaper than downtown Denver.
