Popular · Walkable · Energetic · Artistic

Just ten blocks south of LoDo you’ll find the popular Baker neighborhood, Denver. Bordered by South Broadway and home to the Sante Fe Arts District, this enclave grows more popular every year, as Denver adds to its growing population.

A mix of renovated industrial spaces, colorful bungalows, and vibrant bars pepper the neighborhood, lending to its perfect mix of urban and suburban energy. Residents enjoy Baker’s thoughtful approach to development, and treasure local dive bars as pieces of the neighborhood’s eclectic past.

Historic Denver Squares, single-story bungalows, and reimagined industrial buildings harmonize to attract those with an entrepreneurial spirit seeking inspiration and connection.

Neighborhood Life

The Baker neighborhood is hopeful, spunky, and far from pretentious. Baker’s exuberance is without a doubt due to the bustling atmosphere from South Broadway. On the weekends, residents can be found ambling up and down this popular boulevard, digging for vintage finds at Buffalo Exchange or popping into galleries along Santa Fe. Baker is perfect for transplants who want to make friends and partake in a communal, small-town atmosphere in the heart of a big city.

Local Hangouts

Multicultural cuisines and trendy cocktails are not hard to come by in this neighborhood. Along South Broadway, Punch Bowl Social, Hi-Dive, Sputnik, and Go Fish are nightlife and dining favorites. The Baker Historic District is a perfect spot to walk the dog or go for a Sunday afternoon bike ride. Get a workout at Dailey Park or Movement Climbing Gym, then meet up with friends at local favorite Black Sky Brewery. Enjoy vibrant murals and artwork during the Santa Fe Arts District’s First Friday Art Walk— one of Baker’s most notable events.

Things to Know

This area is both walkable and bikeable. Many residents of the Baker neighborhood commute to downtown Denver via bike to avoid the headache and cost of finding a parking spot.

Great service, takes the stress out of apartment searching. This is actually my second time using Aptamigo in Denver. Worked with Bralie who was amazing. She was super communicative, candid, helpful, and definitely knew a lot about the market and buildings before touring. You pretty much just have a conversation on what you're looking for and they take care of the rest. Thanks for the help!

Aptamigo solves the worst part of apartment hunting - coordinating tours between all the various rental properties. While you may not see every property in the area, if you don't want to take time off of work or spend several weekends touring this is your place to go. They get it done in 1 weekend. Would recommend.

AptAmigo is the absolute best! The team was so thorough with my search for my apartment, getting to know me and my preferences. They handle everything from scheduling tours, sending suggested properties and making sure once you chosen your perfect spot that all is done to secure it. It was nice to have someone to go along with to the tours especially if you’re new in town.…

I had a wonderful experience as a client of AptAmigo. I recently accepted a job offer and needed to move to Denver from out of state. I was not super familiar with the area and trying to find the right apartment remotely was very stressful. However, working with Harris at AptAmigo was absolutely awesome! He was extremely responsive and very flexible when scheduling virtual…

I was a bit hesitant at first, we were only going to 4 buildings that day; and given that in my past experience of apartment hunting it had always taken me weeks and at least 20 places to see. However Scott knew exactly what I was looking for. The second building we visited was the one, I new it the second I stepped into the lobby. Scott heard exactly what I was looking for,…

I had a wonderful experience as a client of AptAmigo. I gave its team the difficult task of locating a move-in ready apartment for me with a deadline of about 2 weeks. The team had recommendations in my inbox within a few hours and tours lined up for the following day. Plus, those tours were accompanied by a knowledgeable guide. I'm extremely pleased with AptAmigo's services and would recommend them to anyone looking to rent in the Denver area.

I was skeptical about a service that was completely free. I’ve always looked and found a place on my own but I won’t again. Can’t recommend their service highly enough. Peter was extremely personable and made the process seamless.

AptAmigo is an amazing service that I would recommend to anyone!! My partner and I have been endlessly searching for apartments for the last year, and were afraid we were too picky and wishy/washy to move. Peter at AptAmigo was quick to pull up apartments that we wouldn't have been able to find alone. He was also quick to get us to make viewing appointments because he…
