Charming historic downtown neighborhood at the base of the Rocky Mountain foothills
Downtown Golden sits at the base of the Rocky Mountain foothills, south of beautiful Boulder and just west of Colorado’s capital city. “A lot of people who maybe dream about living in Boulder but can’t afford it will turn to Golden,” says Jesse Lynch. Owner of the Welcome to Denver real estate team with years of experience helping buyers find homes in Downtown Golden, Lynch recommends the neighborhood because “You’re right in the Rocky Mountain foothills, you’ve got a charming historic downtown area – plus it’s super walkable so it almost feels like a college town.”
Single-family homes nestled in the Rocky Mountain foothills
Downtown Golden’s unique position provides nearly every home with a panoramic view of the Rocky Mountain foothills, the western mesas or the Main Street-style buildings on Washington Avenue. Most of the single-family homes sit tucked away in cul-de-sac communities and small subdivisions. There are New Traditional ranch-style houses from the 1990s, rustic cabins from the early 2000s and contemporary Craftsman homes built in the 2010s. These listings typically range from $700,000 to $1.5 million, depending on the homes age and view. Some of the larger homes, with over 4,000 square feet, can cost up to $2 million. Most of the townhomes are situated on the neighborhood’s west edge or along Washington Avenue. They typically start around $575,000 for a two-bedroom from the 1980s, but the newer listings with 2,000 square feet or more can range closer to $1 million. Mid-rise Main Street-style condos just steps away from Washington Avenue cost between $850,000 to $1.3 million, but some one-bedroom condos next to Golden High School start at $430,000.

Dine with locals and shop for outdoor gear along Washinton Avenue
Outdoor retailers, vintage clothing stores and legendary local restaurants occupy the historic Main Street buildings on either side of Washington Avenue. Residents can gear up for their next hiking trip at Vital Outdoors and browse The Golden Curiosity Shop’s local treasures. King Soopers in Golden Town Center is the go-to grocery store for all the everyday essentials. While Starbucks is just a block over, residents prefer to fuel up at locally-owned coffee shops. For a truly historic dining experience, residents can visit Buffalo Rose, a local favorite serving western saloon fare for over 150 years. Golden is well-known as the home of Coors Brewery; but Lynch says, “that’s the tourist spot - true locals know where to find the best beer.” Family-owned and operated for 30 years, Golden City Brewery gained popularity for its crisp red ales brewed inside of an old machine shop.
There are plenty of boutique shops along Washington Ave to explore in Downtown Golden.
