Union Station is a downtown neighborhood of Denver, Colorado, US. In 2007, the population of the neighborhood was 3,475, and there were 2,530 housing units.[1] The neighborhood's average household income was $97,080 in 2000.[1]

The neighborhood is named for Union Station, Denver's main railroad terminal. Much of the Lower Downtown Historic District (known as LoDo) is in the Union Station Neighborhood, but the boundaries of the two are not the same, and LoDo is not one of the city's official, statistical neighborhoods.
