Suburban community near Green Mountain
Sixth Avenue West, a neighborhood in Golden, Colorado, offers suburban living tucked right by Green Mountain. This quiet, outdoorsy community is a walkable distance from the massive William F. Hayden Park and its many multiuse trails. Large traditional properties on sizeable lots fill the area; many were built throughout the 1970s. Unique to this community is its many townhouses, which can offer more affordable housing than single-family properties here. With mountain views and spacious properties, one might expect this area to be disconnected from city life and its amenities, but locals will be just a few miles away from a mall, other shops and Jeffco Fairgrounds. This doesn’t change the calm nature of the area. “Golden has a reputation for a small-town feel, and Sixth Avenue West is no different,” says Mary Barela-Cordova, a Certified Residential Specialist and managing broker at BC Realty LCC, who has friends, family and clients living in the community. “Neighbors knock on the door and introduce themselves. This friendly environment and its great location make it a highly desirable place to live.” With easy access to Interstate 70, Sixth Avenue West locals can have a relaxed community close to the mountains while still being well connected to the surrounding conveniences.

Highly desirable area with fast-selling homes
Along curving streets that often spread into cul-de-sacs are properties built primarily between the ‘70s and ‘90s. Spacious single-family homes are mainly traditional suburban-style constructions like sprawling brick ranch-style dwellings, but the community is also home to some unique asymmetrical properties, including some bi-levels. Townhouses make up a majority of the western edge of the area. Some townhouses and most homes here have attached garages. “It’s not a suburban area that feels congested. Houses are built with the terrain in mind. It’s important to people that they can see open green space or the mountains from their yard,” Barela-Cordova says. The median plot size is 11,300 square feet. While some residents keep grassy lawns, many take advantage of xeriscaping, a low-water option known for its rocky look. Because of the hilly nature of the area, yards are often slightly slanted. “Sixth Avenue West is covenant-controlled, and the voluntary HOA is strong. There’s a real commitment to the community,” Barela-Cordova says. Prices typically range from $425,000 for some townhouses to $1.4 million for larger properties. Homes here are rarely available, and they sell after an average of just 25 days on the market.

Time outdoors: Green Mountain and more
Being right up against Green Mountain gives Sixth Avenue West residents direct access to the area’s many natural and gravel-studded trails. The community’s Sixth Avenue West Park, a mainly undeveloped green space, features a narrow dirt path that leads toward the North Access Trail, which is near the townhouses. This 3.3-mile journey will get hikers to the 2,400-acre William F. Hayden Park. Popular among bikers, equestrians and hikers, the park offers visitors everything from multiuse trails to views of both Denver and the mountain peaks. The park’s grasslands fill with wildflowers during the springtime, bringing color to the area. Visitors should watch out for rattlesnakes, as they are commonly spotted in the area. Those wanting a hiking opportunity a little closer to home can explore the community’s many undeveloped greenbelts. At Sixth Avenue West’s Dewey Haberman Memorial Park, kids have fun on the playground, and the basketball court is perfect for anyone wanting to practice their skills. In the summertime, locals can cool off at the pool.

Nearby attractions: Jeffco Fairgrounds, Red Rocks Amphitheater and more
Less than 2 miles east of Sixth Avenue West is Jeffco Fairgrounds. Equestrians can practice their skills at both indoor and outdoor facilities, and the Rodeo Area serves as a venue for Westernaires’ horse shows. Barela-Cordova says, “It’s become so big that people from all areas come to train at Westernaires.” Locals can also head to the grounds for events like Whale of a Used Book, a spring and fall attraction where eventgoers check out the state’s largest preloved book sale. From car and dog shows to private gatherings, the fairgrounds offer something for everyone to enjoy. Also nearby is the Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater, which offers visitors sandstone-filled views throughout various hiking trails and at the popular event venue. Just 6 miles east via U.S. Route 6 is Lakewood’s Metro Denver Farmers’ Market, giving Sixth Avenue West locals easy access to fresh vegetables and produce. Those wanting to ski can head on I-70 to take the 55-mile-or-so drive to Arapahoe Basin.
