All that’s old is new again. On the northern edge of central Denver lies a cozy older neighborhood that has recently emerged as one of Denver’s rediscovered areas. Between 38th Avenue, 48th Avenue, Inca, and Tejon, replete with small brick bungalows and an eclectic blend of architecture, is Chaffee Park. This area enjoys a direct link to Downtown Denver via 38th Avenue and lies right alongside I-25 for easy access north or south. You’ll find the most commerce along 38th Avenue, where authentic Mexican restaurants, banks and many shops and services keep life convenient. Strewn throughout the highly residential neighborhood are community churches and corner markets. You won’t want to miss Tennyson, where new-age nuances and locally owned establishments line the sidewalked street from 39th through 44th Avenues.

Chaffee Park, the area’s namesake, includes a basketball court, softball skin infield, playground, and picnic areas where residents enjoy the open land. Within the borders are a fire station, middle school, police station, Boys and Girls Club, and post office. Quiet, community-minded, and filled with character, this is an historic neighborhood with new ideas.
