Ranch styles and affordable prices in West Pleasant View
While only some residential streets feature sidewalks, homebuyers are likely to find wide driveways leading to two- or three-car garages. Trees fill the neighborhood, sitting between properties and decorating the grassy front lawns accented with bushes. Mid-20th century red brick ranch styles, split levels and bilevels are common, as are new traditional houses built after 2000. Prices typically fall between $525,000 and $750,000. Several townhouses are scattered throughout the neighborhood, which can cost between $250,000 and $650,000.

Parks in and around West Pleasant View
Westblade Park is the largest park in the neighborhood. “It has been described as a ‘quiet oasis’ and is a great place for people to relax, jog, walk their dogs and observe wildlife,” Page says. “Lena Gulch cuts right through the park, which adds to the wonderful scenery.” Locals can play a round of tennis or basketball at Southridge Park and enjoy a picnic and playground at Orchard Street Park. Just north of the area is South Mountain Table Park, which offers several hiking trails, although some close from February to July to protect raptor nesting territory.

Golden High juniors can attend annual rafting trip
West Pleasant View is served by Jefferson County School District, which locals call JeffCo. Students can start at Shelton Elementary School before attending Bell Middle School; both receive a B-plus from Niche. “Bell Middle School is technically the only one in the neighborhood,” Page says. At Golden High School, which earns an A-minus, all juniors can participate in the annual Junior Rafting trip, a three-to-four-day raft trip to learn about ecology, outdoor survival and local history.

Jefferson County Fairgrounds in West Pleasant View
The Jefferson County Fairgrounds sits just south of U.S. Route 6. “With 11 different facilities and 700 events hosted annually, the Jefferson County Fairgrounds is a busy place!” Page says. “From roadshows to proms to job fairs and even open riding events, the fairgrounds have something for everyone.” One of their annual events is the JeffCo 4-H Fair, which includes animal shows, livestock auctions, and fun activities for all ages.

Major roads run through West Pleasant View
Three major thoroughfares, Interstate 70, U.S. Route 40 and U.S. Route 6, run through the neighborhood, which residents can use to get to and from the city quickly. “Road noise from the highway is a factor in certain parts of West Pleasant View, but for the most part, the proximity to the interstate is a good thing,” Page says. While most people drive themselves, the Regional Transportation District offers several bus stops. Denver International Airport is about 33 miles away and has nonstop service to more than 20 states. The closest emergency room is at St. Anthony Hospital, about 4 miles away.Restaurants along South Golden Road
Several restaurants sit along South Golden Road, including the Rock Rest Lodge, a bar and grill with a rich history dating back to 1907. Page says that El Amigo Mexican Restaurant and Tequila’s Family Mexican Restaurant are two of the best eateries in the area. “The two main watering holes are Barrels & Bottles Brewery and CODA Brewing,” he adds. Colorado Mills is within 1 mile of the neighborhood, and patrons can shop at Target or Burlington before visiting Panera Bread and Crumbl Cookies for a bite. Both downtown Golden and Denver West are within 3 miles of the neighborhood and feature several other shopping and dining options for residents to explore. Locals get groceries from King Soopers and find the rest of their essentials at Home Depot, less than a mile away, and Walmart, about 6 miles away.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
