Lakewood is one of the largest cities in Colorado and sits directly west of Denver. Belmar, a walkable district of shops, restaurants and residences, is its downtown-style center, and Bear Creek Lake Park, Green Mountain and a dense trail network offer easy outdoor access.
Housing is mostly mid-century ranch homes and bungalows, plus condos and townhomes near the W Line light rail and along the Colfax and Wadsworth corridors. Its position between downtown Denver and the foothills makes it convenient for commuting and for weekend trips to the mountains.
Good to know
- Many homes are older and may need updates, so a careful inspection matters.
- Neighborhoods vary considerably, from busy corridors to quiet residential streets.
