Barnum Neighborhood

6th Avenue on north, Alameda Avenue on the south, Federal Boulevard on the east and Perry Street on the west

The Barnum neighborhood, annexed to the city in September 1896, stretches from West 6th Avenue to Alameda Avenue and from Federal Boulevard to Sheridan Boulevard. The area is named after P.T Barnum of the Barnum and Bailey Circus. He purchased 760 acres in 1882 as an off-season winter respite for his show, and originally named many of the streets in the area after famous people.  The neighborhood is comprised of single family homes occupied by middle income families.  The neighborhood has excellent access to transportation, has good community facilities and is within minutes of downtown Denver and Lakewood’s BelMar development.
