Housing in the neighborhood includes many single family detached houses, including two-story brick Victorians, row houses, duplexes, brick bungalows and one-story stucco houses.

The Santa Fe Arts District, on Santa Fe Drive between 6th and 12th Avenues (its primary retail and commercial corridor), includes more than 40 galleries, restaurants and shops. The Denver Civic Theater on Santa Fe Drive was opened in 1921 as a cinema house and was later used for various purposes before it was renovated in 1993 as a neighborhood arts center containing two theaters and an art gallery.
