Baker is a historic neighborhood just south of downtown Denver, known for its Victorian homes, tree-lined streets and the lively stretch of South Broadway on its western edge. It’s a favorite for buyers who want character, walkability and an easy commute.
What it’s like to live in Baker
South Broadway is Baker’s main street, packed with restaurants, bars, music venues, coffee shops and vintage stores. Residential blocks are quieter, with many homes in a designated historic district. Light rail at the Alameda station and quick access to I-25 make it easy to reach downtown and the Tech Center, and Washington Park is a short bike ride east.
Types of homes
- Victorian and Queen Anne homes from the late 1800s, many beautifully restored
- Bungalows and Denver Squares from the early 1900s
- Townhomes and condos, often closer to Broadway and the light rail
Tips for buyers and sellers
Historic homes are full of charm but may need updates, so inspect carefully, including the sewer line, roof and electrical. If a home is in the historic district, exterior changes may need review, so ask before planning additions. Sellers should highlight original details, updates and walkability to Broadway.
