Location

While officially a young city, Wheat Ridge has a rich history. It served as a popular rest stop for travelers during the Gold Rush of the late 1850s and grew into an agricultural community known as the “Carnation City” in the mid-1900s. 

Wheat Ridge offers a “sleepy” alternative to other Denver suburbs since it’s one of the few to experience slow population growth. Located less than 5 miles northwest of Downtown Denver. It borders Arvada to the north; Lakeside, Mountain View, and Denver to the east; Edgewater to the southeast; Lakewood to the south; Applewood to the southwest; and Fairmount to the northwest. What makes Wheat Ridge so great:

• GREAT HOMES - you get more for your money while having convenient access to highways and downtown Denver. There are plenty of options without having to fight the downtown traffic and parking.
• GREAT LOCATION - Short commute to major interstate highways, the majestic Rocky Mountains, and the amenities of the City of Denver.  With easy access from I-70, you can be skiing, hiking, or participating in a wide range of internationally-acclaimed mountain sports in less than an hour. Golden is only a 15-minute drive west and LoHi/Highlands is a 15-minute drive east. Taking a cab into the city is easy and convenient. 
• PARKS - There are many small lakes and parks within the cities bounds, which makes for easy access to an active lifestyle.  300 Open Space acres, 7 Trail miles, 20 Parks (173 Park acres)
• GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD  The City Council has promoted urban agriculture, allowing a few local farms, community gardens, farmers’ markets, and produce stands to still thrive here. Its continued investment in agriculture and small business give Wheat Ridge a unique “down-home” feeling while still being just minutes away from Downtown Denver.

Nearby Attractions/Amenities

The city hosts an annual Carnation Festival with fireworks, live bands, a carnival, a beer garden, performances by the Zoppé Family Circus, and more.

 The city has established two shopping districts—Ridge at 38 (38th Avenue between Wadsworth & Sheridan) and Shop 44th (44th Avenue between Ward and Harlan), both of which promote a nostalgic main street experience with mom-and-pop-type shops, restaurants, and services.

Nearby Restaurants
