Transit
Denver Union Station is the region's transit hub: the A Line commuter train to Denver International Airport, the B and G Lines, the W Line light rail to Lakewood and Golden, and RTD buses including the Flatiron Flyer to Boulder.
What it's like
Lower Downtown is Denver's historic warehouse district, now mostly lofts and newer condo towers. Restored brick buildings line the streets around Union Station and Larimer Square, and the South Platte River parks are a short walk away. Expect city noise on game nights.
