About
If large leafy trees on expansive lots is what you are looking for, Applewood is the neighborhood for you. Surrounded by three cities: Golden, Lakewood and Wheat Ridge, and tucked away at the bottom of the foothills, Applewood was founded over 140 years ago by farmers attracted to its fertile soil. A rural feeling remains in this neighborhood with sloping hills, mature trees, large lots, and homes that are unique rather than suburban-tract style. Families predominate in this peaceful neighborhood as Applewood residents have easy access to shopping at the
Colorado Mills Mall, and recreational amenities at
Red Rocks Amphitheater, which hosts music events and offers a variety of hiking trails. Several golf courses and the popular walking/biking trails at Crown Hill Park are also a short drive away, as is I-70 and access to the Rocky Mountains, which make Applewood an ideal location for families wanting to experience all that Colorado has to offer.
