About Lakewood

With a population of more than 150,000, Lakewood is the 5th-most populous city in Colorado and one of the most prominent of the Front Range Urban Corridor. Lakewood residents enjoy close proximity to both Denver and the Rocky Mountains, making it the ideal location for commuters and weekend warriors. Catch a 15-minute train to Union Station in Downtown Denver or drive to Eldora Ski Resort in less than an hour—now that's work-life balance. Lakewood's home to 99 parks and more than 7,000 acres of green space and trails (nearly 35% of Lakewood's total area). When you're not hitting the trails, slow down for a bit of dining, shopping, and entertainment at Belmar, the city's 22-block urban district. Rest assured, there's a little bit of something for everyone in Lakewood.
