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.

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:

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.
