Baker Rent Prices in Denver 2026
Our Verdict
"The Grid"
At a median of $27/m², you are paying a premium for proximity to nightlife rather than square footage. Our neighborhood analysis lands this area squarely in THE_GRID, meaning it is a functional, high-demand zone that lacks the polished quiet of nearby Wash Park. While the m² stats might look steep for older builds, the investment outlook remains stable because people will always pay to be within staggering distance of the Hi-Dive.
The Vibe:It is a landscape of gritty industrial edges and tightly packed Victorian houses where street parking is a literal combat sport. South Broadway serves as the main artery, loaded with dive bars, vintage shops, and the historic Mayan Theatre. You’ll find yourself dodging heavy RTD bus traffic on Broadway or cycling the nearby Cherry Creek Trail to escape the noise.
The median rent price in Baker, Denver is $27 per m² per month, 9% below the Denver city average of $29.6/m². Based on 1 verified rental data points as of February 2026.

Locals Ask
Is street parking actually impossible in Baker?
Yes, if your unit doesn't include a spot, prepare to circle for 20 minutes or get very comfortable with the local parking enforcement officers.
Why is the average rent so high for such old houses?
You're paying for the walkability to South Broadway and the historical character, even if the insulation is nonexistent and the pipes are 100 years old.
How noisy is it near the western edge of the neighborhood?
The freight trains and light rail run constantly along the western border, so invest in heavy curtains or earplugs if you're sensitive to industrial hum.
What is the investment outlook for m² stats in this zip code?
Values are plateauing at a high level; it’s a safe bet for rental demand, but the days of cheap entry-level buys are long gone.
Is Baker safe for bikes?
It is one of the better spots in Denver for it, with easy access to the Cherry Creek Trail and the D-10 bike route, provided you have a high-quality lock.
