La Alma/Lincoln Park is one of Denver's oldest neighborhoods, lying just to the south of the Auraria Higher Education Center campus where Denver was settled in the 1850s by goldseekers. Many houses in this predominantly Latino neighborhood date from the turn of the century, and its proximity to Downtown and broad range of housing types make it an attractive center city neighborhood.
