Barnum is an established west Denver suburb with downtown access
Less than 4 miles from downtown, Barnum is an established west Denver suburb known for its city access and attractive price points. The community’s roots date back to the late 1800s, when the land was purchased by its namesake, famous showman P.T. Barnum. Today, residents can find nods to its past in statues and murals across the neighborhood, but sights are set on the future. Continued renovations and developments are in the works, making it a desirable, up-and-coming part of town with price tags below the county median.
Midcentury homes with prices under the Denver median
Barnum’s housing market largely consists of early-to-mid 20th century ranch-style homes and bungalows. Houses sit close together on small lots, with fenced-in back yards and mature trees adding a degree of privacy. “This area is popular because of access to downtown and affordability,” says Travis Wilcox, a local broker-owner with RISE Real Estate. “It’s very much an up-and-coming neighborhood and now we’re seeing a lot of flipping and action with investors.” The neighborhood has a median price of around $450,000, which is significantly lower than the Denver County median of $640,000. Houses start in the low $200,000s and reach the upper $600,000s.
Many residents have lived in the neighborhood for decades, contributing to a know-your-neighbor feel. “It’s got familial status there, where people keep homes in the family and pass it down,” says John Valdez, a broker with Keller Williams Advantage, who has lived and sold homes in Denver for over 10 years. “There are still a lot of old-school families there, so it hasn’t been quite taken over like the rest of Denver.”
Ranch-style homes line the neighborhood's streets.
Colorful bungalows in Barnum go for below the county's median price.
