South Broadway Corridor

Baker's commercial spine and Denver's most eclectic retail corridor — South Broadway from Alameda to 6th Avenue is an unbroken stretch of antique shops, dive bars, tattoo parlors, record stores, the landmark Mayan Theatre (1930 Art Deco, one of three Landmark Theatres in Denver), and a rotating cast of independent restaurants. Housing along and immediately adjacent to Broadway is predominantly mid-rise condo and loft conversions, newer mixed-use buildings with ground-floor retail, and occasional townhome infill. This zone attracts renters and buyers who want to live above the action — walkable nightlife, First Friday gallery openings, and the kind of gritty creative energy that defined Baker before its gentrification wave. Prices are lower than the historic district because units are smaller and attached, but the lifestyle density is unmatched.
