The best of urban and suburban living
Living in Daniels offers a well-balanced life for those who seek the conveniences of urban living but yearn for the suburb’s quiet streets and green spaces. Halfway between Denver and the Rocky Mountain foothills, the neighborhood offers a residential retreat with easy access to shopping centers, restaurants and parks. “Along Sixth Avenue, there is a lot of industrial space," says real estate broker Eli Schmidt, a host of the popular Mile High Property Brothers YouTube channel. "But there are also big residential lots, parks, and trails that act as a pleasant buffer," The community is just minutes from Lakewood’s city center, art museums and cultural center.
Daniels neighborhood has an abundance of office and industrial buildings, bordering Highway 6.

A range of homes and yard sizes
Houses in Daniels sit on comfortable lots that vary in size, giving its winding streets an easy, unplanned look. Larger Craftsman-style homes tend to offer less yard space, while brick ranch-style houses afford plenty of room for a garden. The Foothills Green Townhomes community provides fully updated multifamily options. Across West Eighth Avenue, a small strip of stately homes stands out along Union Street. These properties display Spanish and Mediterranean influences with arched entries and feature wide driveways and multicar garages. While these 4,000-square-foot homes easily top $1 million, most single-family homes sell between $400,000 and $600,000, while a 1-bedroom, 700-square-foot condo unit may sell for around $250,000.

Parks, playgrounds and pathways
After school or work, locals head to McDonnell Park. Kids enjoy the park’s slanted climbing wall. Looking for a longer walk? Pick up the Lakewood Gulch Trail at the corner of Simms Street and 12th Avenue. Skirt the edge of Bellows Park, a 10-acre area initially owned by the medical manufacturing company COBE. Bellows Park honors that scientific legacy with a vibrant, science-themed red and blue picnic shelter flanked by sculptures of a double helix and a molecule. Nearby Maple Grove Park sits on the banks of the Maple Grove Reservoir. This 11-acre park offers a brightly decorated playground with wacky climbing structures, slides and swings that resemble illustrations from a Dr. Seuss book. The park also provides horseshoes, volleyball and sports fields, grilling stands and picnic tables. Looking for a challenging mountain hike? It’s a 5-mile drive west to Apex Park, which provides a true foothills experience. A chuckling stream babbles alongside much of the 10-mile trail, and dense woodlands provide welcome shade along the west end.

Across Colfax, one finds more options at Denver West Village, where busy residents can pick up groceries at Whole Foods Market. Drive or stroll (it’s less than a mile) over to Simms Steakhouse. If the weather’s nice, grab a seat on the raised patio and take in the exquisite views of the Rockies. For something different, try the colorful, spice-rich dishes at Durbar Nepalese and Indian Bistro. Tuck into a chicken kebab while taking in the gold accents and bright artwork adorning the walls.
