Mountain trails and golf galore
Daily walks can quickly turn into mountain hikes by following one of the South Table Mountain trailheads. South Table Mountain Park has almost 16 miles of trails with panoramic views of Downtown Golden. The park is also a wildlife protection area, so locals know spring trail closures are meant to safeguard cliff-nesting raptor habitats. Residents like to go for easy 1/2-mile jogs at Applewood Park, and kids enjoy playing together on the garden-themed playground at Maple Grove Park. Golf enthusiasts are more than catered to in Applewood West. Operating since the 1960s, Applewood Golf Course is a popular public course offering individual lessons and group beginner golf clinics. Other residents join The Club at Rolling Hills, which provides a more private golfing experience and access to other amenities.

Dinner after tee time
Following a day on the green, locals head down to Applewood Grove Shopping Center for something to eat. Mountain Tap Bar & Grill, a woodsy tavern, has become a neighborhood hangout for billiards and darts, and the menu is stacked with Greek-inspired bar food. When residents crave a refreshing drink, locally owned Ohm Brewing Company serves creative brews, like a prickly pear Kolsch or a ginger cream ale. Diners’ taste buds take a trip to Italy at Abrusci's Fire & Vine, which relies on generations of family recipes and uses only the freshest ingredients. If locals would rather make their own cuisine, Whole Foods is nearby in Denver West Village. For retail shopping, Colorado Mills is just south of the neighborhood and Denver’s only indoor outlet mall.

Boulder charm for Golden prices
Homes range from modest ranches to modern mountainside estates. Some homes feature farmhouse or Tudor-style elements, with half-timbered details or rustic brick and stone accents. Yards often have as much character as homes, with colorful patio furniture, flower-covered trellises and landscaped rock gardens. “It’s got Boulder charm for Golden prices,” says Jesse Lynch, owner of the Welcome To Denver real estate team and host of a popular YouTube channel. “You still get some of that upscale feel, and you’re right in the foothills.” Most homes cost between $550,000 and $800,000, but living beside the golf courses means that properties start at $1 million and rise from there. On the lower spectrum, town house listings typically cost between $300,000 and $460,000. According to Page, neighbors love to come together and get to know one another. He says, “During the warmer months, many Applewood West residents host barbeques, block parties and watch parties to cheer on all our local Denver sports teams.”
