A downtown Denver neighborhood with much history and nearby restaurants with high honors
Five Points, once known as the Harlem of the West, is one of Denver's oldest, most diverse and evolving neighborhoods," says Stevenson Farnsworth, CPA and Broker Associate at 1858 Real Estate. The neighborhood started as a streetcar suburb in the 1870s, and its rectangular grid adjacent to downtown Denver's diagonal orientation created a precarious intersection of five streets, thus the name Five Points.
Large swaths of the neighborhood are listed on the National Register of Historic Places and are designated as local landmarks for Five Points' importance in Black American history. Today, despite overcoming nearly a half-century of racial inequities, this neighborhood continues to honor its complicated history by serving as a core gathering place for community and cultural events. Annual celebrations like Juneteenth and the Five Points Jazz Festival draw massive audiences. In addition, institutions such as the Blair Caldwell American Research Library and the Black American West Museum continue to tell the stories of the American West's racial pioneers.
Five Points is also known for its proximity to destinations for food connoisseurs. Four restaurants within 2 miles of the neighborhood were honored by Michelin as Bib Gourmand Restaurants, while two earned a Michelin star.
The Blair Caldwell African American Research Library is located in the Five Points neighborhood.

From condominiums to homes with turn-of-the-century architecture
Denver began investing heavily in the neighborhood's redevelopment in the 1990s. One-bedroom condominiums in Five Points go for between $330,000 and $475,000. Condos with two or more bedrooms can go for anywhere between $475,000 and $1.8 million, depending on the condition of the interior, square footage and location. Those looking for the unique character of turn-of-the-century architecture — exposed brick, prominent beams and vaulted ceilings — have to visit Five Points' eastern quadrants like Curtis Park. Houses in Italianate, Queen Anne, bungalow and other 20th-century styles date back to the 1870s. Landmark overlays ensure these structures will remain, even as development continues to surge. Homebuyers can expect to pay anywhere between $500,000 and $1.9 million for single-family housing in Five Points.
