Why Highland has its own termite considerations
Built for owners of older Victorian/Craftsman homes as well as buyers and owners of newer infill construction on the same blocks.
Highland was its own incorporated town before its 1896 annexation by Denver, with a large stock of Victorian and Craftsman bungalow homes from 1900-1930, sitting on an elevated bluff above downtown and the river valley.
It holds one of the highest concentrations of century-old wood-frame housing among the curated 20 areas.
Significant recent infill and scrape-off redevelopment means older homes and brand-new construction now sit side by side on the same blocks.
The sheer concentration and age of Highland’s wood-frame Victorian/Craftsman stock is a real factor, and the mix of old and new construction on the same block means inspection needs vary house to house.
