Denver, CO (Last updated: October 18, 2026)

Five Points is a neighborhood northeast of downtown Denver within the Denver-Aurora-Centennial metro area.

Historic storefronts and newer construction sit alongside one another, while Welton Street anchors a district closely associated with Denver’s jazz history.

The average home value is $560,436, down 3.0% over the past 12 months, and average rent is $2,100/mo. These neighborhood-level figures offer context rather than a price range; individual properties differ by size, condition, building type, and location.

Proximity to downtown provides access to employment in government, commercial offices, and hospitality, alongside businesses within the neighborhood’s retail corridors. RTD light rail along Welton Street and bus connections provide alternatives to driving. The street grid supports walking and bicycling, though the distance to stations, shops, and downtown destinations varies by address.

Curtis Park adds public green space and recreational facilities to the neighborhood’s built environment. Dining, coffee shops, and cultural venues are distributed along commercial streets, with the Welton corridor retaining a visible connection to the area’s musical heritage. Everyday errands depend on the specific block and destination, making nearby retail, transit stops, and pedestrian connections useful features to compare when evaluating a property.
