I know it's not a great name, but I don't know what else to call the neighborhood surrounding the bookstore where I work as the bookkeeper. The Wyman Historic District is located both north and south of Colfax Avenue here in Denver, starting just a few blocks to the West of the bookstore. The houses there are really nice, but the neighborhood the store is located in has some great Victorian houses, not to mention some funky apartment buildings, too.
Just to the north of the bookstore is East High School and City Park, one of the first and largest parks in Denver. Of course, if you are looking for a bargain in this neighborhood, you have already missed the boat. It has been gentrified, yuppified, and every other kind of "fied." But urban homesteaders take heart - word on the street is that the Globeville neighborhood, just north and east of downtown and near the old stock yards, is the next big up and coming neighborhood. Make sure you bring your toolbox, though.
