Ballpark


Ballpark neighborhood lies to the north of Lower Downtown and Downtown Denver’s Central Business District. The southern end of the neighborhood is anchored by Coors Field and stretches almost 20 blocks to the north into a section that is still a functioning warehouse and light industry district. Now a historic district, most of its original buildings still stand today. While the lure of summer baseball games may be the appeal to some residents, there is also the wonderful commercial corridor of North Larimer Street adding spunk to the neighborhood — offering a unique mix of buildings and tenants — pawn shops, jazz clubs, bars, antique shops, art framers, galleries, brewpubs, authentic Mexican restaurants, small companies and more. Here, you’ll find many brick buildings that still sport train and truck loading docks on their street frontages.


Housing


Converted lofts, new construction, and apartments are in abundance, and many more are planned in this neighborhood. Ballpark’s rail yard history makes it ideal for classic loft conversions. Many of the original warehouses have been stripped and updated, and now offer loft space with exposed beams and pipes. Several more loft construction projects are planned, guaranteeing more growth and de- velopment in this expanding area. Developers have purchased and razed the few valueless buildings, creating space for new construction; new loft apartments and brownstones are available for rent and purchase, ensuring viable housing options for a wide range of prices and lifestyles.
