WHEAT RIDGE

Located near the western edge of Denver, Wheat Ridge is an inviting mix of old and new. Tucked in the curve of I-70 as it heads west into the mountains, Wheat Ridge is an expansive community with a rich mix of cultural and shopping centers. The community's most significant historical structure is the James H. Baugh homestead, the former home of a Denver transplant who followed the mining rush to Colorado and settled in the local valley.

In addition to its history, Wheat Ridge is home to diverse cultural pockets. From vibrant community hubs to classic theater districts, the town is an appealing study in contrasts. Antique lovers will enjoy 44th Avenue, home to a string of antique shops, consignment stores, and local boutiques. Family-run restaurants, with menus ranging from South American cuisine to authentic Italian, are also scattered throughout town.

​

For those who prefer exploring the outdoors, Wheat Ridge is home to more than 20 parks, equestrian trails, and open public spaces. Bikers and walkers can roll along the scenic Wheat Ridge Greenbelt trail system, while bird-watchers and campers enjoy Prospect Park, which also features an RV park and campground.
