The Baker neighborhood is located just to the south of the city and is minutes away from amenities of the Golden Triangle and shops on Broadway. The unique little historic neighborhood has seen its ups and downs over the years, but recently it has seen major change and a steady increase in property values. New residential projects and the rehabilitation of Broadway are reviving this eclectic neighborhood into a neighborhood for young, up and comers and first time home buyers. While most of the neighborhood to the west, bordering Santa Fe and the Platte River, is still industrial.  The majority style of home is 19th century Victorian.
Broadway, the major street bordering the Baker neighborhood to the east, continues to have a wide variety of local color in its vintage clothing stores, antique shops, and eateries. However, in the past five years, places like Mecca, which sells upscale furniture, and The Hornet, a trendy nightspot have made South Broadway a destination for locals.

If you like the Baker area, you will also like the Platt Park and Byers neighborhoods.
