If you had to choose somewhere for your car to break down, your best bet would probably be Irondale. Home to more than a dozen auto repair and used car part businesses, Irondale is a small industrial community with a rural twist, offering plenty of local employment opportunities and humble housing options.
Homes in Irondale are often speckled throughout industrial spaces, and most are traditional ranch-style. Lots vary greatly in size, from half-acre plots that can accommodate a barn or garage to petite, fenced properties that leave just enough yard space for your dog to enjoy. Many homes are original to the neighborhood and have been standing since the 1950s, and buyers are likely to encounter median home prices under $400,000. Keep in mind, though, that larger lots will usually come with a steeper price tag. “Because of all the industrial warehouses, auto shops and distribution centers, Irondale isn’t the quietest area,” says Realtor Sam Neuman, host of the popular Denver Living with Sam Neumann YouTube channel, “but right across the highway, you’ll be able to escape the noise at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge.”
Spanning a massive 16,000 acres, this incredible wildlife refuge is a true haven for native deer, bison, prairie dogs and coyotes. While the refuge feels almost entirely secluded, the towering view of the downtown cityscape just 10 miles away is a keen reminder of Denver’s symbiotic relationship with nature. When you live in Irondale, you’ll be just minutes away from exploring that relationship on more than 20 miles of trails — both rugged and paved — where you can quietly observe the majestic creatures that call this space home. And once the repairs on your car are done, you can cruise along the 11-mile wildlife driving tour before heading on your way.
After a calming drive through the wildlife refuge, head south to grab a quick lunch at local favorites like Mickey’s Express, a vibrant yellow building with a convenient drive-thru that offers classic burritos and other Mexican specialties. When you’re craving a margarita on Taco Tuesday, you can take a trip to El Jardin and enjoy the breeze while dining on the patio. And if you’d rather prepare a home-cooked meal or need to stock the fridge, you’ll find all the fresh produce and pantry staples you need at Mi Pueblo Market off East 80th Avenue.
During the week, students living in Irondale can attend Dupont Elementary School, where a robust dual-language program aims to raise the confidence of both Spanish-speaking students and their families. Most students will continue their studies at Adams City Middle School before moving on to attend Adams City High School, which maintains a grade of C- on Niche and helps students prepare for their future with hands-on career and technical education opportunities.
On Friday, you can celebrate the end of a long week with a nostalgia-inducing trip to the 88 Drive In Theatre, Denver’s only remaining original drive-in that’s still operational. Once you’ve parked, you can pick up nachos and popcorn from the snack bar before settling in for a cozy movie experience beneath the stars. If you’re looking for a community that offers both industrial employment and natural serenity, you might be surprised at the balance you find in Irondale.
