Alameda Gateway

The southern tier of Baker along Alameda Avenue — the neighborhood's most transit-connected zone thanks to the RTD Alameda Station serving the D and E light rail lines. The station area has catalyzed mixed-use development and townhome infill alongside surviving 1920s-40s bungalows and duplexes. Alameda Avenue itself is a commercial corridor with taquerias, Vietnamese restaurants, coffee shops, and neighborhood services. Blocks between Alameda and 1st Avenue have the widest housing mix in Baker — original Craftsman bungalows next to 2010s townhome triplexes next to converted duplexes. This zone offers the best value in Baker for transit commuters, with a 15-minute light rail ride to downtown and 25 minutes to the Denver Tech Center. Washington Park is a short walk east, adding 165 acres of lakes, trails, and recreation to the daily routine.
