Western Denver suburb cherished for rural charm
Before becoming the suburban neighborhood it is today, Eiber was the home of farms and agricultural enterprises owned by Lakewood, Colorado’s earliest settlers in the 1860s. When streetcar routes from downtown Denver expanded to serve the area in the 1920s, subdivisions with more housing started being built in the newly commuter-friendly neighborhood; local farmers even traded growing crops for real estate ventures! As the city of Denver continued to grow rapidly and streetcar routes from downtown expanded through the area, this once-rural neighborhood developed a “subrural” feel that Eiber residents continue to cherish today. Large lots, especially along Lakewood Gulch, allow for keeping horses, chicken coops and hobby farms — an uncommon amenity when living within 15 miles of a major urban center and "Residents love the country feel of the neighborhood's quiet, tree-lined streets and having some privacy with more distance between neighbors," says Trish Kelly, a local pet-friendly Realtor who lives in the neighborhood and donates five percent of her rate to local adoption centers. "All you hear in the morning are birdsongs and people mowing their lawns," Kelly says, adding that the community is also "Very friendly, it's like living in Mayberry; neighbors pass sugar to one another while dogs visit their friends back and forth across their owners' chainlink fences." While Eiber was a "Well-kept secret until a few years ago," the neighborhood has become "very in-demand" for its uniquely pastoral, yet suburban, setting where residents can finish collecting fresh eggs from their chickens before walking to the local light rail station to spend a fun night out in the city.
Eiber's agricultural charm can still be felt along its quiet, curbless streets.
Some more modest brick-ranch homes sit on tree-lined streets.

Spacious Lakewood homes with acreage for animals
With an average sales price of $590,000, homes in Eiber sell for around the same amount as those throughout the surrounding Lakewood area, but offer both more land and space between neighbors. Throughout the neighborhood's subdivisions, homebuyers can find some antique Queen Anne Victorians, colonial revivals and Tudors still standing, but most homes were built after World War II and feature popular styles from the time, like ranch-style homes with their low profiles, small frames and minimal decoration. In addition to newly built, two and three-bedroom townhouses selling for as low as $520,000, homes in Eiber typically range between three to four-bedroom, mid-century cottage, bungalow and ranch-style homes that feature up to a whole acre of land and sell from about $560,000 to $800,000 dollars. Four and five-bedroom, rural mansion homes are also available starting just above $1 million and feature elegant, custom designs as well as almost 4,000 square feet of space sprawling across two full acres of highly landscaped or agricultural land.
Don't be surprised to find goats or horses living next door to you in Eiber.

Getting outdoors in northern Lakewood
In Eiber, residents can walk to local greenspaces like Holbrook Park and James J Richey Park on the other end of the neighborhood to take their dogs out, enjoy the day or pass a frisbee in wide-open grassy fields. Both parks also feature playgrounds where neighborhood kids can play the day away and use their imaginations. To get active, people of all ages can head to the Charles Whitlock Recreation Center, which offers a fitness studio and courts for pickleball, volleyball and basketball. Residents can sign up for an exercise class, enroll their kids in a youth league or just stop by for a pickup game.

Eiber-local options for shopping and dining
For groceries and other conveniences, locals can bike or drive up to Colfax Avenue to find local options like Safeway, Natural Grocers and Chicago Market, a local grocery store with a wide selection of Polish foods like meats, cheeses and baked goods.
For a wider selection of goods, popular shopping areas like the Belmar shopping mall, which is just a few miles south of Eiber along Wadsworth Boulevard, are also nearby and offer an array of brand-name stores, eateries, and popular spots for family-friendly entertainment like a movie theater and bowling alley.
After shopping, residents can head over to Kipling Street to grab a healthy meal from Make It Vegan. First started as a small meal prep service in the neighborhood, this locally-owned business has grown into its own brick-and-mortar store, which offers a rotating menu of prepared plant-based entrees and popular dishes with meat substitutes as well as meal prep kits for pickup or delivery. For a weekend brunch, the local Sunrise Sunset is a popular choice to enjoy hearty American breakfast food like jalapeño-laced eggs. For a night out, residents can stop by Lakewood Grill for american and mexican bites as well as pool tables and karaoke.
