Modest, midcentury single-family homes

Homes in Irondale are often speckled throughout industrial spaces, and most are traditional ranch-style. Lots vary greatly in size, from half-acre plots that can accommodate a barn or garage to petite, fenced properties that leave just enough yard space for your dog to enjoy. Many homes are original to the neighborhood and have been standing since the 1950s, and buyers are likely to encounter median home prices under $400,000. Keep in mind, though, that larger lots will usually come with a steeper price tag. “Because of all the industrial warehouses, auto shops and distribution centers, Irondale isn’t the quietest area,” says Realtor Sam Neuman, host of the popular Denver Living with Sam Neumann YouTube channel, “but right across the highway, you’ll be able to escape the noise at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge.”

Outdoor receation within a national wildlife refuge

Spanning a massive 16,000 acres, the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge is a true haven for native deer, bison, prairie dogs and coyotes. While the refuge feels almost entirely secluded, the towering view of the downtown cityscape just 10 miles away is a keen reminder of Denver’s symbiotic relationship with nature. When you live in Irondale, you’ll be just minutes away from exploring that relationship on more than 20 miles of trails — both rugged and paved — where you can quietly observe the majestic creatures that call this space home. You can also cruise along the 11-mile wildlife driving tour before heading on your way.

Irondale's nearby Mexican-inspired restuarants and grocery stores

Head south to grab a quick lunch at local favorites like Mickey’s Express, a vibrant yellow building with a convenient drive-thru that offers classic burritos and other Mexican specialties. When you’re craving a margarita on Taco Tuesday, you can take a trip to El Jardin and enjoy the breeze while dining on the patio. And if you’d rather prepare a home-cooked meal or need to stock the fridge, you’ll find all the fresh produce and pantry staples you need at Mi Pueblo Market off East 80th Avenue.
