Older residential community near Thornton staples
Eastlake Village—also called “Eastlake” by locals—was once an agricultural town in the early 20th century until it was annexed in 1990 by the city of Thornton. Today, its country roots are still apparent through a few long-running establishments near First Street. “It’s an old town community feel,” says Rick Cavallaro, Realtor at Rhino Realty Pros in Thornton. “It’s very residential-friendly. Everyone knows where Eastlake is. It has its own post office.” The expansive East Lake Shores Park has winding trails and a circular reservoir nearby, and neighbors can easily take the train into Denver from a nearby Denver Regional Transportation District (RTD) station.
The grain elevator which still stands west of the railroad tracks was constructed in the early 1900s.

Sipping beers at Lake Avenue Inn
Eastlake Village is heavily residential, but it’s also right next to shops and restaurants. Lisa Anne’s Country Cupboard Bakery is known for its homemade cinnamon rolls and sticky buns, and Lake Avenue Inn serves wings and draft beers. “Those restaurants have kept their hometown feel. When you walk in, you’re a part of the family,” Cavallaro says.

The Denver Premium Outlets are 3 miles northwest of the community and have several retail giants like Forever 21 and H&M.
