Buzzy community near Downtown Denver
Clayton was originally developed in the late 1800s, and its gridded streets reflect this past as many homes feature steeply pitched front gables with intricate designs. “This is a great slice of old Denver,” says Sam Neumann, a Realtor with Keller Williams who has been selling homes in the area for over four years. “There’s a rich history here and a lot of older charm.” Located about 3 miles northeast of Downtown Denver, the community has preserved its individuality with a mix of traditional homes, local businesses and refurbished spaces.

Traditional homes with traces of new construction
Established in the late 1800s, Clayton features a wide variety of homes reflecting the area’s development as neighborhoods around Downtown Denver have become more desirable. “The market can move quickly, but it’s still not quite as fast as neighborhoods further south like City Park,” Neumann says. Residential streets are densely populated as striking Queen Anne builds with rounded, turret-like gables cast shadows over smaller bungalows and cottages. Homebuyers can find three-bedroom Queen Anne homes built in the early 1900s starting at around $625,000 or three-bedroom bungalows with shaded front porches ranging from about $530,000 to $760,000. In the northeast corner of the community, new construction brings a touch of modernity to the streets, with two-bedroom units in the Greenway Townhomes community starting at about $640,000.
