Five Points - Whittier

 

 

Nestled just northeast of Denver’s buzzing downtown are the communities of Five Points and Whittier. Central locations just moments from the heart of Denver, intricate and rich histories teeming with historical landmarks, and hip eateries, shops, and entertainment hotspots have made these communities two of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Denver. Revitalization efforts over time have transformed Five Points and Whitter into part urban, part suburban neighborhoods with lovingly operated establishments dotted alongside the area’s traditional mainstays and residential areas.
