Denver Neighborhood Profile: Baker Homes

If you are looking for a Denver-area home to invest in in the near future

, you might want to include Baker homes in your home search. Baker is an appealing and diverse neighborhood that is one of the most historical communities in the Denver area.

Denver's Baker community has a long history with roots going back to the 1870s. The neighborhood played a large role in Denver's history. It was home to several Denver mayors and grew from commercial and industrial growth around South Broadway. Today, Baker is an urban neighborhood with a diverse population.

Most Baker homes were built by 1900, so they are now well over a century old. However, don't let the age of the homes trick you, since most of the properties have been extensively renovated and remodeled so they are as good as new.

Starting in the $200s and going over the half million mark, Baker homes are affordable compared to nearby Denver communities , including Washington Park. Baker homes have been a solid investment over the past few years, since they have posted gains while many Denver homes have suffered price declines. There are many architectural styles in the Baker neighborhood, including a large number of Queen Annes and Victorians.

The Baker neighborhood is bounded by West 6th Avenue to the north, Broadway Street to the east, West Mississippi Avenue to the south, and the South Platte River to the west. This desirable location is hard to beat for homebuyers needing to be close to downtown Denver, but are looking for a charming neighborhood.

Baker has a great location that is a short bike ride to many of Denver's hottest spots; including the Cherry Creek shopping district, the Pepsi Center, and to downtown Denver's many restaurants, cultural attractions, sport venues, and shops. There is a light rail station near Alameda and Broadway that is very convenient for residents commuting to downtown or to the Denver Tech Center. The neighborhood is only a stone's throw away from South Broadway's chic shops and restaurants, known as SoBo. Sobo is home to many trendy art galleries, a vibrant nightlife, and it is home to the Mayan, a well-known movie theater. The Baker neighborhood is close to Antique Row, which showcases 18 blocks of antique dealers, restaurants and galleries.

Please consult with a local Denver real estate agent prior to beginning any home search. He or she will guide you in finding the best neighborhood for you and your family. We wish you good luck in your real estate search.
