Located on the western boundaries of Denver, Lakewood is the fourth
largest city in Colorado. With owners occupying two-thirds of Lakewood's
homes, the city is primarily residential. Only a few minutes drive from
the mountains, many neighborhoods have expansive views of the city lights
or the inspiring snow-capped Rocky mountains. Because of relatively high
per capita incomes and low density commercial areas, Lakewood has room for
light industry and business growth. The largest employer in Lakewood is
the Federal Center (with over 5,200 employees), a huge complex of federal
offices and warehouses second only to Washington, D.C. in size. Lakewood
gained national recognition for innovations in municipal government when
it was named runner-up in the All America City competition in 1970, just
one year after the city's incorporation.
Lakewood is nestled between Denver and the foothills. It is a good home
choice for people wanting to be "up close" to the mountains, yet
convenient to work in the Denver Metroplex. Housing choices vary from
brand new to older. Prices are average to high end. Lakewood has something
for everyone. For more information on Arts,
