38th & Blake station is located in Denver's Five Points neighborhood, near the River North Arts District (RiNo). It features a 200-space parking lot and a pedestrian bridge connects the station to its parking lot, as well as businesses and residences northwest of the station on Wazee Street.

FasTracks provisions the station as the northern terminus of the L Line, with two intermediate stops between 38th & Blake and the line's present terminus at 30th & Downing station. As of 2026, this extension is unfunded and there is no estimated completion date.

38th & Blake station is planned to be the centerpiece to a new, transit-oriented neighborhood that would replace existing industrial buildings with mixed-use buildings for residences, offices and retail. The station is within walking distance of the Mission Ballroom.

In 2023, Xcel Energy announced that it would relocate its Colorado headquarters to a new office building at 3500 Blake Street, two blocks southwest of the station. This move was completed in the summer of 2025.

38th & Blake station features an art piece titled Conflux/Redox by artist, architect, and printmaker Kelton Osborn. It was installed in 2016 on the sides of the station's pedestrian bridge's concrete support structure. Conlux/Redox is made of powder coated aluminum and steel in a design inspired by the heavy industry that once existed around the station and the future creative industry of RiNo.
