Cole is a north Denver neighborhood near the arts and downtown
Bordering the River North Art District and just 2 miles from downtown, Cole is a historic Denver neighborhood known for its turn-of-the-century homes and convenient location. Dating back to the early 1870s, the community is one of Denver’s oldest neighborhoods, with charming architecture, mature tree cover and long-standing local businesses adding to its established feel. Redevelopment projects continue to bring new homes and businesses to the area, while easy access to public transit and Denver’s active business scene draw in new residents.
Historical homes and prices to expect
Cole offers turn-of-the-century Queen Annes, American Foursquares, bungalows and quaint cottages, and the architectural variety adds a historical charm to the neighborhood. “Cole is kind of a small town within a town,” says Stevenson Farnsworth, a broker associate with 1858 Real Estate who lives and works in the area. “A lot of neighbors have been there a very long time, and you’ll see multi-generational living, where a grandparent lives just a few blocks from their kid. It makes for a very close-knit and tight community.” Small, fenced-in yards are shaded by mature trees, and most homes feature detached garages accessible through rear alleyways. You can find a wide range of conditions among the area’s homes, from 1880s builds in need of some TLC to well-maintained 1920s homes with modern touches. There are also a handful of newer single-family builds and townhomes in the mix. “Homes here tend to be a little smaller than surrounding areas, so Cole can be a good entry point in Denver,” says Josh Larsen, a Realtor at Keller Williams, who has sold multiple properties in the neighborhood. Single-family homes start in the mid-$300,000s and reach up to $1.3 million, while townhouses range from the mid-$100,000s to the mid-$500,000s.
New and old homes often rub shoulders in Cole.
There are several modern townhomes in the area.

Public and private schools within reach
Local families are served by Denver Public Schools, with nearby options like Manual Middle and Manual High. DPS families can apply to any school across the district through its open enrollment program, which uses family choice and a lottery system to determine admissions. Admission to choice schools is not guaranteed outside of a family’s designated attendance zone. There are also several private and charter schools in the neighborhood, including Wyatt Academy, Denver School of Science and Technology, and Annunciation Catholic School.
The River North Art District
Cole is bordered to the west by the River North Art District, locally known as RiNo, a neighborhood full of art galleries, music venues and event spaces. The area’s buildings are adorned with colorful murals, and art festivals bring thousands of Denverites to the neighborhood several times a year. Notable spots in RiNo include:
Larimer Lounge, a bar and live music venue hosting both ticketed and free events
The RedLine Contemporary Art Center, a space with rotating galleries and public education programs
The Marquis Theater, which hosts concerts most nights of the week, from local artists to nationally known bands
The Cole-Clayton 39th Ave Greenway sports some colorful murals, a coffee truck, and some lofts.
Nearby RiNo Beer Garden has become a local favorite for its outside seating and craft beer.

Dining and amenities close to home

Development in the works
There are a number of community projects underway to improve the area’s streetscapes, as well as to add housing and employment opportunities in the neighborhood. The Denver Rock Drill Project is working to transform an old manufacturing plant into a mixed-use complex, which is expected to include new affordable housing options, office space, restaurants, a hotel and more. Other plans include turning an old streetcar station into affordable rental units and adding mixed-use housing and retail space along 36th Avenue.

Major roads, employers and public transit
Downtown Denver is around 3 miles southwest of the neighborhood, while Denver International Airport is roughly 20 miles northeast. The Regional Transportation District operates bus routes across the Denver area, with nearby stops along Downing Street and Bruce Randolph Avenue. There is also a light rail station close by on Blake Street, with direct service to the airport and Union Station. “Lots of people in Cole also bike to downtown,” Larsen says. “Denver has done a good job of creating bike lanes.” Nearby major employers include St. Joseph Hospital and University of Colorado Denver, both of which are within a 3-mile drive of the neighborhood.
You'll find the 38th - Blake station conveniently on the northwest side of the neighborhood.

Our house is wonderful and our yard is nice and enjoyable. However, a lot of people in this area do not take care of their houses and yards, so they look run-down and ugly.
