The Cole neighborhood, which became part of the city in 1874, stretches from 32nd Avenue to 40th Avenue and from York Street to Downing Street. Cole Junior High School and the neighborhood itself are named after Carlos M. Cole, a superintendent of Denver's Public Schools who was instrumental in establishing junior high schools in Denver.

 One of Denver’s oldest neighborhoods, the Cole Neighborhood Historic District encompasses four square blocks along Vine and Race Streets, in the eastern portion of northeast Denver's Cole Neighborhood. Comprised of 71 primarily single-family houses, and 47 detached garages, or secondary buildings, the district is a visually cohesive collection of working-class homes.

 The neighborhood's quiet tree-lined streets, wide grass boulevards between the streets and sidewalks, and mature landscaping, also contribute to the historical character of the district. Residents here enjoy two City Parks; Russell Square Park is in the northeast part of the neighborhood and St. Charles Park is in the northwest corner of the neighborhood.

 The area has seen many changes over the last five years or so. Spurred on by increasing prices in other city close urban neighborhoods with good classic architecture, Cole has become a popular choice for young professionals, young families and folks in general who value diversity, urban living and a vibrant community.

 Niche.com ranks Cole as #11 out of 75 most diverse neighborhoods; #22 of 75 best neighborhoods for young professionals in Denver; and #46 of 75 best neighborhoods to raise a family Denver.

 With an influx of younger residents and dining/shopping options, it’s no wonder so many people want to call Cole home. Thinking of checking out this exciting area? Contact Metrowest – we’d love to show you around!
