  • Lakewood is not only the 5th largest town in Colorado, it is also one of the hottest locations for people moving to Denver and exploring its suburbs. Full disclosure, Lakewood has also my hometown and where I have spent a large portion of my lfe living... so I am always excited to share my insight into the community and why I believe it is one of the best places in Denver metro area to consider living.

    You have sold me on Lakewood Jimmy! Will be making the move from Hawaii late October/ Early November hopefully. Looking at places to rent for now around the Bellmar area. Hopefully I can work with you in the near future with purchasing a home!

    Recently stayed in Lakewood while visiting Colorado and we really enjoyed the Mexican food. It borders a Mexican and Vietnamese area where the food is so good and affordable.

      I am huge fan of Denver's Mexican food - although everyone corrects me and tells me its Tex-Mex, not that it matters to me, honestly. What part of Lakewood did you stay in?

    Very nice video, it feels very professional especially considering your low subscriber account.
    I know this video is old, but how are the winters?
    For me the snowier the better!

    Great video. Moved to Belmar, Lakewood area and love it. Trifecta was a great property and everything was in walking distance. Left for a year but I’m coming back.

    Me and my family have been considering moving to the Denver Metro Area. I come from Northern Virginia, and home prices have skyrocketed and the crime has started to increase in my city these past few years. My parents don't mind snow, but my mom questions about the altitude. My dad has dialyses three times a week, and she would want to know if Lakewood or any city around Denver is good for people who have dialysis. I'm more of an explorer, and I love snow. My family doesn't enjoy humidity and I don't either.

    • @destinationdenvercolorado
      @destinationdenvercolorado  29 วันที่ผ่านมา

      That’s literally the only area in Lakewood, where substantial building can be done. The city still has the one percent rule in place for a while longer so new construction will be limited when you look at the entire suburb as a whole.

    Thanks for the info! I'm looking at moving to Denver or possibly an adjacent city/town. If you live in Lakewood, could you get to downtown Denver via public transit? Could you get by living in Lakewood without a car and simply rely on a bike and public transit?

    • @destinationdenvercolorado
      @destinationdenvercolorado  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Eric, thanks for watching! There are areas of Lakewood that are right along the light rail, so there is some ability there to use a bike and the light rail to get along. It really comes down to how close to that light rail you are and how convenient using it is for you versus having a car.

    I hear Denver minimum wage is $17.29 this year. This is crazy higher than California and even cities like Los Angeles or San Diego. I was looking for investment property in Denver but now im rethinking if it a good idea or not.

    • @destinationdenvercolorado
      @destinationdenvercolorado  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Denver specifically does as of the beginning of this year. The cost of living has increased quite a bit here - which I’m sure your used to if you’re in Cali. That is for Denver only though, surrounding suburbs can follow the state minimum wage which is in the $13.50 range.

    • @destinationdenvercolorado
      @destinationdenvercolorado  ปีที่แล้ว

      My apologies for the late response - the rental market in Denver is very independent. The best bet to find a place is usually on sites like Zillow or Apartments.com.

      That is Belmar Park just off Wadsworth - there are a ton of trails and a few small lakes. One of my favorite places to get outside!
