Neighborhood Profile: Barnum

 From Alameda to 6th Avenues, Federal Boulevard to Shreridan Boulevard

This west side neighborhood was established in 1882, when P.T. Barnum purchased 760 acres to house his circus during the winter months.

A major landmark in the neighborhood is the Wiiliam Bowman House, built in 1910, and located at King Street and 4th Avenue.  This grand home is on the National Historic Register of Places.

Barnum Park at Julian and 4th offers fishing, an outdoor pool, a soccer field and tennis courts.  The park also has an off-leash section where you can let your dog run free.

With easy access to downtown Denver, I-25 and U.S. 6, and some destination restaurants, this area is a great option for affordable home ownership.
