Approximately one mile northeast of downtown Denver, from Park Avenue to Downing Street, from Stout to Tremont Streets.
Rich in history, architecture and cultural facilities, Five Points was once known as the “Harlem of the West”. In “On the Road”, Jack Kerouac talked about the time he spent listening to jazz in the neighborhood clubs. Among the great artists that played in Five Points were Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday and Miles Davis.
Today the neighborhood is home to the Cleo Parker Robinson Dance studio and performance troupe, The Black American West Museum and Heritage Center and the Stiles African American Heritage Center.
Crossroads Theatre and Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library also make their homes in Five Points.
Each year the area hosts the Juneteenth celebration, which honors the day when African American slaves in Texas first heard of the Emancipation Proclamation. This four day event includes a parade, food and arts and crafts booths and live music.
With an excellent mix of residential and commercial properties, Five Points offers a true urban lifestyle. With Coors Field and downtown Denver nearby, residents don’t have to go far for their food and entertainment.
