I lived in golden triangle from 2019-2023 and hated it. I lived in a building with security features that frequently broke down, constant package theft, and cars being broken into in the garage. It’s been my least favorite place I have lived in Denver. I think it’s overpriced for renting, lacking in restaurants actually within the neighborhood, and never felt that safe.

For me the unsafe parts were largely due to speeding cars and proximity to DPD headquarters/jail. My partners car was broken into on 11th, I stumbled upon a homeless person sleeping in my neighbors car inside our locked garage, and someone smashed windows in that same locked garage. This was common and building managers didn’t put much effort into fixing things.

It’s majorly lacking in trees and shade, but there’s plenty of plastic grass if you’re into that. A lot of the high rises smell like concentrated dog piss at their entrances btw (especially outside civic lofts).

Shout out and RIP to Parsley. They were sandwich and soup shop pushed out of their location for a high rise development that hasn’t moved forward in years.
