Northeast Denver neighborhood covering Curtis Park, Ballpark and part of RiNo, with Victorian homes, new townhomes and deep jazz roots.
Five Points sits just northeast of downtown and covers several smaller areas locals know by name: Curtis Park, the Ballpark blocks around Coors Field, and the Larimer Street side of RiNo. The name comes from the five-way intersection near 27th and Welton, where streetcar signs once read "5 Points" because the full street names wouldn't fit.
From the 1930s into the 1950s, Five Points was the center of Black life in Denver and earned the nickname "Harlem of the West." Touring jazz musicians like Duke Ellington and Count Basie played the Rossonian Hotel's lounge and the clubs along Welton Street. That history is still present in the Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library and the Five Points Jazz Festival, which takes over Welton Street each June.
Curtis Park holds some of Denver's oldest houses, including Italianate and Queen Anne homes from the 1870s through the 1890s, much of it inside historic districts. Brick rowhouses and small cottages fill other blocks. The Ballpark area and the RiNo side have seen a lot of new construction since 2010: modern townhomes, condos and loft buildings, many with rooftop decks facing downtown.
Coors Field is a walk from the neighborhood's west side. RiNo has breweries, food halls and murals, and the 38th & Blake A Line station is close by for trips to the airport. Downtown is a mile or two away, close enough to bike.
Five streets meet at one intersection near 27th Street and Welton Street. Streetcar signs shortened the destination to "5 Points," and the name stuck.
Partly. The RiNo Art District spans several neighborhoods, and the Larimer Street corridor of RiNo falls inside Five Points.
Victorian homes and rowhouses in Curtis Park and along the older blocks, plus newer townhomes, condos and lofts near Coors Field and in RiNo.
