Speer, Denver, Colorado
Alameda Avenue (South) and Downing Street (East).[1]
The northeast portion northeast of Speer Boulevard is
generally referred to as Alamo Placita due to a local park
and historic district of this name. Generally, the neigh-
borhood character is defined by the Capitol Hill neigh-
borhood to the north, which is a highly dense neighbor-
hood dominated by mid and high-rise multi-family us-
es and the Washington Park West and Baker neighbor-
hoods, which are to the south and east of the subject
neighborhood and comprise primarily low-rise multi-
family and single-family residential uses. The neighbor-
hood contains multi-family and single family residential
uses with the majority of commercial buildings are found
along primary thoroughfares, such as Speer Boulevard,
East 6th Avenue, Broadway and Alameda Avenue. Visual
inspection shows the area is approximately 100% zoned
and 98%+/- built-out with improvements 30 to 100 years
old and in below average to excellent condition. The
neighborhood is currently in a revitalization phase. Re-
creational uses include Governors Park which is imme-
diately north of the subject neighborhood and Alamo
Placita Park which is located in the northeast portion of
the neighborhood. Additionally, the Cherry Creek bike/
pedestrian path is located along Cherry Creek/Speer
Speer Neighborhood
Boulevard and provides residents access to Denver’s trail
system.
