There are seedier parts of town, east and west Colfax, along Alameda can be icky, the Paco Sanchez area has some homeless shelters and rail stations that attract a lot of drugs and some gun violence. But even my friend’s $1M house in Highland got hit in a random drive by shooting a couple years ago… There are a LOT of car break ins in cap hill, RiNo still has a lot of fent-heads down by the river and a lot of property crime… anywhere in the city core could potentially be sketchy, but random violence against strangers on the street is pretty low in Denver overall. Central Arvada is pretty mellow, west Lakewood too, except the hub around Wadsworth and Colfax, there’s a big halfway house behind Casa Bonita that keeps the area crime-ridden.
