Wheat Ridge Real Estate

The city of Wheat Ridge is a quiet, family-oriented community of 31,000 people located in Jefferson County, just west of Denver. Primarily a residential city, Wheat Ridge has five retail centers, several unique small industries, a business enterprise zone, and more than 20 parks, equestrian trails and open space public areas. Wheat Ridge residents enjoy fine living, affordable housing, clean city streets, safe schools, strong local leadership, and a thriving economy thanks in part to its proximity to downtown Denver.

Located just a stone's throw from Highlands Square in Denver and a pleasant walk to beautiful Sloans Lake, Wheat Ridge is served by Interstate I-70, linking this bedroom community to the sophistication of downtown Denver and the natural wonder of the Rocky Mountains. As a commuter suburb, real estate options typically range from townhouses and condominiums in populated areas, to single-family homes in established, mature home subdivisions.

The rugged terrain of the Rockies overshadows the great plains of Colorado, where Wheat Ridge and neighboring cities such as Arvada, Edgewater, Golden, Lakewood and Littleton are situated and adds to the allure of this magnificently stunning region of the state. Rich in amenities, Wheat Ridge and neighboring cities in Jefferson County have plenty of attractions to draw the culturally, recreationally and educationally minded. Residents can easily bike to LoHi, which is bordered by the neighborhood of Sunnyside, and make the short drive to downtown Denver. Heritage Square is a popular gathering spot, as is the revitalized business district along 38th Avenue. Additionally, local attractions include Buffalo Bill's Grave and Museum, Boettcher Mansion, Arvada Center for the Arts & Humanities, Lakeside Amusement Park, Lookout Mountain Nature Center, Red Rocks Amphitheater and the Morrison Natural History Museum.
