More than a Denver industrial area
Driving down Interstate 76, it would be easy to mistake Dupont as just an industrial area. Yet plenty of people call it home in subdivisions of manufactured and ranch-style homes on the north end and centrally near Mesa Oil. “This industrial area has come a long way, drawing new residents for both the price and the nearby job opportunities,” says Sam Neumann, host of the Denver Living YouTube channel. Roadside cafes dot the neighborhood, and I-76 unlocks additional dining options. Outdoor recreation opportunities are also nearby, less than 5 miles away in Commerce City to the south and Thornton to the west.
You will find primarily ranch style homes in the Dupont neighborhood.
Living in the Dupont neighborhood offers residents a suburban rural mixed feel.

Taking the RTD from Dupont to Denver
Drives to Denver are as simple as pulling down Brighton Road and crossing over to Interstate 76. “It is definitely an easy commute being right by the highway, but it’s not really noisy since it sits in a valley; at least I don’t hear much traffic noise,” says Charlie Belger, Realtor with JPAR Modern Real Estate with four years of Denver real estate experience. Although most commuters drive downtown, the Regional Transportation District (RTD) serves the area through bus stops along Brighton Road and light rail stations in neighboring areas. Light rail passengers can catch the “N” line at either the Original Thornton & 88th Station or Commerce City Station. Colorado Highway 2 and U.S. Route 85 lead to Commerce City, roughly 4 miles south. Denver International Airport is 14 miles east whenever travelers need to catch international or domestic flights.
Dupont residents can catch the bus at the Commerce City & 72nd Station.
The Commerce City & 72nd Station offers both bus and light rail service in Dupont.

Mile High Flea Market and meal times
Mile High Flea Market opens three days a week, beginning each Friday. “If you’re wanting to sell something you could just rent a place,” Belger says. “I see people just bring their trucks up and open the trunk; sometimes it’s new stuff, and sometimes it's used.” One end of the market is stocked with the fresh produce of a farmers market, and the other has carnival rides, including a Ferris Wheel. Mi Pueblo Market is just north of the neighborhood, and Save A Lot is located in a nearby shopping center in Commerce City. Restaurants with Mexican food line Colorado Highway 2. El Jardin Mexican Restaurant & Cantina is unmistakable with its Spanish Revival exterior and wooded furnishings. At Butcher Block Cafe, diners slide into booths prepared to enjoy the warmth and spices in the cafe’s popular cinnamon rolls.

Wildlife, walks and futsal wins
Dupont may not have any recreation in the neighborhood, but it is less than 2 miles from Central Commerce City’s second largest park, Fairfax Park, with its futsal court, basketball courts and playground. It is also between Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge and Pelican Ponds Open Space, two major wildlife areas. Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge welcomes hikers to trek its 20 miles of trails, where prairie dogs and deer occasionally are seen. Pelican Ponds Open Space provides another quiet place to immerse in Colorado’s natural beauty, with walking trails woven around the pond and disc golf baskets between the trees.
Fairfax Park is one of Commerce City's largest parks.

Drive-in movies and Colorado Rapids soccer games
Since 1972, The 88 Drive In Theatre has shown films under summer night skies, less than a mile from the neighborhood's northern end. The theater is not only the longest running drive-in in Denver, but also the last original of its kind in the city. Once finished parking the cars by height, audiences hop out and step inside the snack bar filled with the smell of buttery and freshly popped popcorn. Sounds of eager fans echo through Dick’s Sporting Goods Park—southeast of Dupont—during Colorado Rapids soccer games.
Dupont residents are just a short drive from nostalgia and a show at the 88 Drive-In.
