A suburban atmosphere with urban convenience

A blend of outdoor beauty and urban access surrounds the Baker Park neighborhood just outside of Denver’s southern borders. “It’s a fantastic spot for commuting, as you can access pretty much anything in the area from there,” says Sam Neumann, Realtor with The Denver Living Group and host of the Denver Living with Sam Newmann YouTube channel. “You can go out and be in the mountains or use the nearby train station to be in Downtown Denver within 30 minutes.”
