Suburban Neighborhood in Westminster, Colorado

Neighborhood Reviews
Mix of older ranches and contemporaries with 21st century touches
Twin Lakes is split into distinct communities: Midtown to the south, and a neighborhood of midcentury-era homes to the north. The older part features wider streets and rustic lots filled with ranch-style houses that date back to the 1950s. Price points for these homes can run between $500,000 and $550,000. The older homes help with Twin Lakes’ affordability and offer an option for Denver area residents who regularly commute to Boulder. “It’s hard to find more affordable areas in that corridor between Boulder and Denver. This is a perfect, happy medium, but you’re not paying the crazy prices of homes that are close to the Boulder area,” Walker says. On the other hand, Midtown is filled with colorful contemporary homes with distinct 21st century designs like low-pitched gabled and slanted skillion roofs. Alleyways between the homes take cars off the main roads, easing walkability for neighbors who enjoy getting on the paths that run across the neighborhood. Many of these homes built during the 2010s can run between $730,000 and $930,000. Townhouses can run between $500,000 and $600,000.

A sand volleyball court, an enclosed skating area and baseball fields often used for local league practices exist at Orchard Park. The Midtown community enjoys a variety of amenities ranging from modern playground equipment and splash pads to interactive art. The community has also a couple dog parks where owners let their pets roam.

Mexican breads and pastries can be found at a small strip mall shop simply called Panaderia. Another local favorite is El Trompito Taqueria, which serves authentic Mexican street fare like soft, corn shell tacos. Those wanting to try out English style seafood and chowder can go to Yorkshire Fish & Chips.
