Historic ash trees and the Rocky Mountains
“The outdoor lifestyle is a major attraction in Ashwood,” shares Kelly Stasney, broker and owner of The Realty Group. She serves future homeowners interested in the communities along the Front Range. “If you want to go to the Rockies to bike or ski, you’re cutting 45 minutes to an hour off your commute time by living anywhere near Golden.” Hiking and biking trails abound on nearby North Table Mountain, and dedicated bikers can take the extensive trail along Clear Creek River to Union Station in Lower Downtown Denver.
A large grove of historic ash trees that earn this community its namesake flourish in Welchester Tree Grant Park. This green space's idyllic 1-mile trail is frequently hiked, biked or ridden on horseback. Meanwhile, kids run wild at the Daniels Park playground.
A drive to the Rocky Mountains isn’t always necessary to play some winter sports. Newcomers to the Denver Curling Center take advantage of the club’s lessons, while more seasoned players can rent lanes for competitions.

A lived-in mountainside residential pocket
“Ashwood is an older neighborhood that’s quite established,” Stasney says. “Historically there’s not been a lot of turnovers, but in the past five to seven years more long-time folks have been downsizing so more properties are on the market. New construction is mostly infill on smaller plots of land turned into attached duplexes.”
Each street looks slightly different in Ashwood. Depending on availability, residents might enjoy the spacious, tree-filled lots on Orchard Road, the square suburban lots on streets like Yank and Youngfield, or the sweeping backyard vistas on Xenon Court. Some of these lots are large enough for residents to keep horses and hobby farms, and nature takes center stage regardless of the street name. A short drive – or even a glance out the window – will reveal picturesque views of the Front Range.
Post-war ranches and split levels are spread out through these pockets and sell for anywhere from $415,000 to $1.45 million for properties closer to the mountains. Brand-new duplex communities feature offerings priced between $575,000 and $950,000.
