Peaceful suburban neighborhood with outdoor amenities
The Lakecrest neighborhood is a mecca for outdoor recreation, located just steps away from Standley Lake, Westminster’s largest body of water. Between the reservoir’s natural landscape and the area’s multiple available parks, it can be easy to maintain an active lifestyle. Multistory homes with unique architecture line the curvy streets, adding character to the suburban area. “We’re right between some very desirable areas,” says Stacey Bushaw, a broker with RE/MAX Alliance who has almost 10 years of experience. “We are 20 minutes from Boulder and another 20 minutes from Denver. It’s about as far west as you can get over here.”

A land of outdoor opportunity
With Lakecrest’s proximity to Standley Lake, there is access to abundant outdoor amenities. Standley Lake Regional Park is a 3,000-acre green space surrounding the reservoir that offers hiking, biking, camping and wildlife viewing. Hit the water for kayaking, boating and fishing. “There are always a ton of people on the trails. Standley Lake itself is blocked off in some places because there are Bald Eagle nests, but people can always walk around the perimeter to spot them,” Bushaw says. In addition to Standley, there are also multiple parks in the neighborhood. Michael Northey Park features a vibrant playground for little ones to explore and tennis courts. Come back in the summer and make a splash at the outdoor pool. Around the creek bend, Lakecrest Park also has a playground sporting shaded towers and unique playhouse structures. A small Saint Bernard sculpture welcomes the patrons who visit. The park’s slopes are also a hotspot for sledding in the wintertime. Hiking and biking paths connect the green spaces to the rest of the area, with some, like the Little Dry Creek Trail, meandering behind people’s backyards. Additionally, Rose Roots Community Garden on 83rd Drive allows residents to grow their produce. Simms Street Recreation Center has indoor facilities to keep the community active when the weather gets cold. Attend a fitness class, learn gymnastics or play games of pickleball.
