Denver - Globeville
Is Globeville a Good Place to Live:
Location and Getting Around: The Globeville neighborhood is essentially the intersection of Interstate 25 and Interstate 70. It’s roughly bordered by the South Platte River that runs northeast, 52nd Ave to the north, and Inca St to the west. 41st and Fox light rail station is located in the southwest quadrant of the neighborhood.
Housing Options: 47 residences sold in 2021. 35 of them were houses. Prices start around $300K for a single family home of 400-900 SF and top out around $600K for brand new townhomes around 1400 SF. No matter where you live, you are never that far from an interstate, railroad tracks, or industrial uses. With that said, the interior of most sold listings show a decent amount of updates. By living in Globeville, you get a Denver address, more square footage for your money, a yard, and no HOA just a few minutes north of high-rise condos in LoDo, Union Station, RiNo, etc.
Shopping and Entertainment: Globe Hall Live Music and BBQ and the local tavern Fort Greene are two hotspots in Globeville but many listings point to the neighborhood’s proximity to RiNo (art district with restaurants, breweries, and entertainment) across 38th Ave and all the other amenities just a bit further south - Coors Field, LoDo, Union Station, etc.
Parks and Rec: Argo Park features an outdoor pool. Carpio Sanguinette Park and Huron Pond.
Land Use: Globeville is separated north south by I-70 and east west by I-25. The northwest quadrant is strictly industrial use. The southwest quadrant is largely industrial and other business uses with a few blocks of residential housing. The southeast corner again has industrial use and a large amount of railroad lines though crossing under the railroad tracks via Washington/38th Ave (or 31st Ave) brings residents to the amenities of the RiNo Arts District. The northeast quadrant has more housing along with industrial/warehouse/business use and the two main parks for the neighborhood in Argo Park and Carpio Sanguinette Park.
