University

The University neighborhood starts just south of Wash Park on the opposite side of I-25, and is so named as the home of the University of Denver (“D.U.”). The community runs south to Highway 285, and west to around Santa Fe Dr, which combines it with the Platt Park neighborhood on its western side. Both its north and east edge are I-25.

The hub is South University Boulevard, from I-25 to East Yale Ave. It’s lined with shops, bars and restaurants catering to the nearly 12,000 college students. In addition to the immediate neighborhood by the university, the University Hills community is adjacent to D.U. and a bit more away from the college life. Its hub is more likely to be the businesses on Colorado Boulevard and stretches a bit north of I-25 as well.
