Historic homes designed by noted architect William Lang, and a residential district on the National Register of Historic Places that reflects Denver’s early working-class neighborhoods cast the character of Baker and Lincoln Park. More than 80 percent of its residential blocks were developed before 1900 and the Baker neighborhood has undergone major restoration in recent decades, including friendly pockets of community gardens maintained by neighbors.

Breathe in the spirit of this neighborhood with a bike ride along the tree-lined Cherry Creek Bike Path on the east. Notice the striking architecture of West High School, which overlooks a beautiful sunken garden. Bite into a juicy buffalo burger at the historic Buffalo Exchange restaurant on the western edge before catching light rail next door to a Colorado Rockies game Downtown. Or, try a meal at nearby restaurants along Broadway before catching an “indie” flick at the historic Mayan Theater. Meanwhile, send the kids for a swim at the La Alma Recreation Center in the 15-acre Lincoln Park, home to numerous Mexican-American celebrations.
