Victorian charm with urban appeal. For those who love homes rich in history and character, Baker is a 1900s heaven. Victorians stand grandly among single-family arts-and-crafts, remodeled duplexes—and even an old schoolhouse that’s been converted into condos. Nesting between Broadway, Alameda, 6th Avenue, and Fox, the flavor here is eclectic; the location, convenient; and the vibe, funky. Preserving and restoring the neighborhood’s original glory is a priority for Baker residents, so you’ll find very few chains and a whole lot of independent restaurants, bars, vintage furniture and clothing stores, galleries, and theatres. Home to the Santa Fe Art District, residents can take advantage of the popular First Friday Art Walks.
Centrally located, it’s a quick zip to just about anywhere—east to the hugely popular Washington Park, north to Downtown Denver, or south to I-25. Staying close to home is also a great option though, because you’re steps to Baker’s eclectic mix of shops, restaurants, bars, and the independent Mayan Theatre. Baker is an historic, beautiful, creative, surprisingly quiet, and pleasant place to live. You’ll find well-priced homes in this urban neighborhood that’s one of the city’s best-kept secrets.
