Natural beauty in Kipling
Surrounded by verdant landscapes ranging from rocky mountain peaks and green open spaces with sparkling lakes, Kipling is a suburban neighborhood brimming with natural beauty and small-town charm. Situated about 10 miles northwest of Downtown Denver, residents enjoy access to a slew of restaurants, ample outdoor recreation and superb shopping options. “Wheat Ridge is continuously growing as people leave the city looking to settle down. What was once industrial space close to the highway has turned from less desirable areas into great residential opportunities,” says Sean Murphy, Realtor with the Moxie Denver team of Exp Realty, who has 12 years of experience in the industry. “You’ve got even better mountain views here, and you’re going to pay significantly less for it than you would in Denver,” Murphy says.

Meandering along Clear Creek Trail
Kipling is a cyclist-friendly community with designated bike lanes on major corridors like Garrison Street. However, the real treat lies at the neighborhood’s southern end, where walkers and bikers can cruise along the smooth concrete trails that meander along Clear Creek. To the west, the path leads to Wheat Ridge Recreation Center and eventually to the City of Golden. To the east, Anderson Park features a seasonal public pool, athletic fields and vast open green space for an afternoon picnic. In classic Colorado fashion, rocky hiking trails along North and South Table Mountain are just a short drive away, while waterfront strolls are scattered around, such as the paths at Crown Hill Lake.

Celebrations at the Carnation Festival
Wheat Ridge has a long history of agricultural production with its abundant sunshine, specifically the brightly colored hues of carnations. In its heyday, the city would send a bouquet to the White House every morning, signing off as Carnation City. Since 1969, the town has celebrated its roots at the Wheat Ridge Carnation Festival. Every August, residents flock to the grounds of Anderson Park to enjoy a mix of carnival games, participate in the city’s parade, watch a circus performance, peruse the collection of fine art and antique cars on display, or relax in the beer garden with live music and fireworks.
Commutes on Interstate 70
Kipling residents have the best of both worlds, where locals are just 8 miles from the quaint mountain town of Golden and expansive hiking areas and 10 miles from the hustle and bustle of downtown Denver.
