Real Estate in Wheat Ridge

At one time, Wheat Ridge had a reputation as a sleepy Denver suburb with not much to offer on its own. But thanks to the city’s investment to revitalize the area, Wheat Ridge has truly come into its own in the last few years. Now, Wheat Ridge, located just West of Denver, is where even urban dwellers head for great services, open space, dining options and affordable homeownership.

A Rec center that offers it all

Wheat Ridge has worked hard to become a place with something for anyone who wants all that suburban living has to offer. The fantastic, state-of-the-art recreation center has become not just a place to swim, lift weights and take fitness classes. It is a place where neighbors gather, birthday parties happen, and kids look forward to summer camps year after year. The local pools are another popular spot in the summer. Wheat Ridge has even dedicated one facility exclusively to active seniors looking to get fit, socialize and learn.

Outdoor recreation is high on the list

The city’s investment goes beyond facilities and has created appealing outdoor recreation options as well. The Clear Creek Trail offers miles of beautiful creekside access, including four lakes, four parks, and a paved trail that is perfect for running, walking, or biking. As you can imagine, the lakes are a great spot for fishing and are often restocked with bass, catfish, bluegill and perch. Wheat Ridge Greenbelt is another open space with plenty of access and recreation options at 300 acres.

Commercial & Cultural District

One of the newest and most exciting additions to Wheat Ridge is the development of Ridge at 38th, a commercial and cultural district along West 38th Avenue that stretches the 2 1/2 miles between Sheridan and Wadsworth Boulevards. It’s there, you can find restaurants, wine bars, art galleries, boutique stores, bike shops, wellness centers, coffee shops, and breweries. Ridge at 38th hosts an annual bike race that draws riding enthusiasts from all over the state. It also throws community yard sales, outdoor movies and concerts, neighborhood cleanups and much more.
