Baker and the Santa Fe Arts District
Denver's largest collection of middle-class Queen Annes, a mile from the Capitol, with South Broadway at the door.
Pricing trends
Baker is priced below the neighborhoods north of Colfax and in Wash Park, which is exactly its appeal: restored Victorians and bungalows trade at a discount to comparable homes a mile east, and the condo stock gives first-time buyers a way in. The historic district and the two rail stations support values over time.

About Baker
Baker is the neighborhood just south of downtown where Denver's oldest houses meet its most independent commercial strip. The residential blocks between Broadway and Santa Fe Drive are a city historic district of Queen Anne cottages and Denver Squares; South Broadway is bars, music, vintage and Antique Row; and Santa Fe Drive is the city's gallery district with its First Friday art walk. For buyers who want to walk to everything and own something with character, Baker delivers at prices below the neighborhoods north of downtown.
Location
Baker runs from 6th Avenue south to Mississippi Avenue and from Broadway west to the South Platte River, about a mile south of Civic Center. Two light rail stations, Alameda and I-25 and Broadway, sit on its south and west edges, and the Cherry Creek Trail and South Platte River Trail are both within reach by bike.
History and background
Where it sits. Baker is an inner southwest Denver neighborhood about a mile south of the Civic Center, between West 6th Avenue and West Mississippi Avenue, east of the South Platte River.
Gold seekers worked placer gold along the South Platte here in 1857 in a spot called the Mexican Diggings, often counted as the first non-native settlement in what became Denver. In the late 1850's the Byers party settled, and the first issue of the Rocky Mountain News in 1859 is tied to the area.
The first subdivisions were platted in 1872, the area joined Denver in the 1880's, and the neighborhood filled with Queen Anne and Victorian homes. Professional baseball was played at 6th and Broadway from 1893 to 1922, and the Mayan Theatre opened in 1930.
The name Baker only came in the 1970's, from Baker Junior High, named for a University of Colorado president who never lived in the area. The neighborhood joined the National Register in 1985 and became a Denver historic district in 2000.
Why people like it. People like Baker for its Queen Anne, Victorian and Craftsman architecture, the restored Mayan Theatre, neighborhood parks such as Phil Milstein Park, South Broadway, and two light rail stations.
Fun fact. Broadway itself is said to have begun when an early settler dragged a log behind his wagon after an 1864 Cherry Creek flood to mark a wider path into Denver.
Sources and caveats for this history
Housing and architecture
The residential core north of Alameda holds Denver's largest concentration of middle-class Queen Anne homes, built after the area joined the city in 1883 and the Broadway streetcar arrived, alongside Denver Squares, bungalows and brick duplexes. Baker joined the National Register in 1985 and became a Denver historic district in 2000, so exteriors are protected and renovations are the norm. Along the edges, mid-century and modern condo buildings such as Studio 70 Flats near 6th Avenue add lofts and flats with secure parking.
Parks and recreation
Dailey Park at Ellsworth and Cherokee is the neighborhood green, and Phil Milstein Park opens onto the South Platte River Trail. Washington Park and the Denver Botanic Gardens are each about ten minutes away.
Dining, shopping and daily life
South Broadway is the draw: restaurants, cocktail bars, music venues, vintage shops and the 18-block Antique Row south of Alameda. The Mayan Theatre, a 1930 Art Deco Mayan Revival house, shows independent films. Santa Fe Drive hosts galleries, Su Teatro and the Museo de las Americas, and its First Friday art walk is one of Denver's biggest monthly events.
