5280mod Another West Denver Neighborhood (final)

Woohoo, I have a new camera and the weather has been somewhat cooperative…

So, let’s get back to it!

Yes, you’ve seen this one before…but this may be the last time it looks like this, so I had to sneak one more photo.


Love, love, love this one!

Here are some shots of the views from this neighborhood:

And did I mention that this neighborhood has its own park and is also in walking distance to Crown Hill park? The best part is that there are also a grocery store, bowling alley, restaurant, pub and hardware store all in walking distance as well.

SPECIAL EDITION – 5280mod Another West Denver Neighborhood (cont’d)

A home came on the market in the neighborhood I have highlighted in my last two posts.

My husband and I went to see it this weekend and the home definitely deserves its very own post.

This home was built in 1962 and has only had two owners. The second owners (who are now selling) purchased the home in 1981 and opted to keep the home original. There are outstanding original light fixtures among other things.

While we have an oversaturated housing market in the metro area, this home was on the market a mere 16 days before it went under contract. These homes certainly have a market all their own.

Enjoy!

Today’s Wheat Ridge neighborhood has a lot of great homes, so this post will be in at least 3 parts.
As with the Lakewood neighborhood I previously talked about, this neighborhood was built prior to the City of Wheat Ridge’s incorporation. As a result, there are almost no sidewalks giving the area a great rural feeling. The large lots and incredible views make a lot of these homes even more spectacular.

5280mod The Adventure Continues…

The neighborhood I’m highlighting today is located just west of Denver in Lakewood. Keep in mind that the City of Lakewood did not come into existence until 1969. This was a rural area used primarily for farming or ranching and the early (1950’s) subdivisions still have that rural feeling today. By rural I mean large 1/2+ acre lots with no sidewalks and zoned for horses.

Of course the lack of sidewalks probably had to do more with the lack of a city to establish requirements, or provide basic services like water and sewer. That’s right! These homes initially each had a well, a septic system and an outdoor trash incinerator. (If you’ve ever been in an older home with a seemingly arbitrary strip of concrete leading from the back door to the back of the yard…there once was an incinerator there)

Here are a few of my favorites:

This subdivision was created in the 1950’s and each lot was sold to individuals for them to build whatever they wished. So, each home is unique. But only a handful of the homes fall under the “Modern” category.

5280mod Live Modern in the Old West

This week’s exploration takes us to the City of Golden. People began settling the area now known as Golden in 1859. For several years “Golden City” was the leading town in the Jefferson Territory which earned it the designation of territorial capital of Colorado.

“Howdy Folks! Welcome to Golden…Where the West Remains”

This banner has been altered slightly to now say “…Where the West Lives” Not exactly the kind of town where one would expect to find modern residential architecture.

And that is the joy of this quest…finding and appreciating the unexpected.

Now, let’s get to what you came here for!
