Lakewood sits just west of Denver and is especially appealing.
Lakewood sits just west of Denver and is especially appealing for those who want easier access to the foothills, trails and mountain recreation without giving up the conveniences of the metro area.
Green Mountain is one of the area’s defining features, offering open space, trails and sweeping views across the city and toward the mountains. That proximity to the outdoors shapes much of Lakewood’s lifestyle and is a major reason the west side of town continues to attract people who want a little more breathing room and faster access to Colorado’s recreational opportunities.
The Union Boulevard area provides a convenient concentration of restaurants, bars, offices and everyday amenities, while Lakewood’s location makes it easy to reach both downtown Denver and the foothills.
Red Rocks is also close by, along with hiking, biking and scenic drives farther west. For people who value the outdoors and want to stay connected to the city, Lakewood offers a practical and appealing middle ground.
