Which Apartment Buildings in Denver Have Spectacular Views?

The Confluence

Neighborhood: Riverfront Park

Evans in the distance. From certain units, you can watch the Platte River flow by as dogs splash around in its waters. 

There’s really no bad view in this high-end apartment building. Watch Elitch Gardens light up as the sun sets in the west. Soak in the Instagram-friendly infinity pool that overlooks Confluence Park, or hang out with friends in one of the poolside cabanas.
