Love this neighborhood. Certainly not the "best" in Denver but It's definitely improving and we enjoy it. Barnum park is a great park for walking dogs, running, walking and other activities. Many migratory birds stop by, as well as all the geese. The Barnum community garden is a fantastic space with great people running it. Seeing and feeding the goats is a bonus. Neighbors are friendly and helpful. Fairly quiet and home prices are steadily increasing. You are just 10-15 minutes from downtown, easy access to highways and I-25. Belmar for shopping is under 10 minutes away.
It is close to every thing. Urban but not a bad neighborhood. Like minded people. Pretty liberal to moderate politacally. People have dogs, go running, and walk around with thier families.
What I see in the future for this area is getting more crowded, yet a community where a lot of people can get to know each other on summer walks when the area is it's most calmed. However, I can also see a negative impact in schools because students have been lacking interest in their studies even though technology in the school buildings have gotten some what better.
