Becoming a modern main street
A longtime Barths landmark, the Lutheran Medical Center campus, is moving as a part of a wave of changes coming to this Denver community. “It’s actually one of the more desirable areas for older homes that are in the process of being remodeled, updated and renovated,” says Nicki Thompson, broker and owner of Colorado Urban Living, who has sold real estate for over 20 years. Condo conversions join the new developments along 38th Avenue, bringing more modern designs to the neighborhood. “The area itself is a target area for most buyers that are looking for easy access along the I-70 corridor to the mountains and easy access to Denver.” Neighborhood parks are accessible by sidewalks, while additional entertainment, such as trips to nearby Lakeside Amusement Park or Sloan Lake Park, can be accessed within a short drive.

Marketplace shopping and 38th Avenue eats
The Safeway in Wheat Ridge Marketplace shopping center checks off all the items on grocery lists, from produce to recipe ingredients. Cyclers check out the latest bikes and equipment at Wheat Ridge Cyclery, an independent bike shop that has been open since 1973. “As the Lutheran Medical Center Campus is leaving, they’re redeveloping that whole area off of 38th Avenue and just east with new shops and restaurants, so the redevelopment of the roads and the area is really nice,” Thompson says. Clancy’s Irish Pub dishes shepherd’s pie on this 38th Avenue stretch. Potted plants decorate the interior of Get Right’s Bakery & Plant Nursery, a local pastry shop that uses seasonal ingredients. North on Harlan Street, Grammy’s Goodies’ pastries hit the spot when craving a sweet treat. This locally renowned Italian restaurant and bakery is also nationally known, having been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives in 2020.

Commuting along Interstate 70 and Wadsworth Boulevard
Interstate 70 runs along the neighborhood’s northern edge and connects with the main north and south running thoroughfare, Wadsworth Boulevard. These two routes connect commuters with Denver’s downtown in under 6 miles. Shopping and dining options extend down Wadsworth, and with the redevelopment of 38th Avenue, they have begun to spread east toward the city.

Nostalgia from rollercoaster to Wheat Ridge Lanes
Since 1908, delighted screams have come from the tops of rollercoasters at Lakeside Amusement Park. “My mother-in-law, who’s from Scottsbluff, Nebraska, came to Denver to this amusement park, so it was a big deal for her to take her grandkids when we’d go,” Thompson says. “Because it is older, some of the park has shut down, but some of it’s still going; it’s definitely a nostalgic icon for the Denver metro area.” Wheat Ridge Lanes also evokes a retro vibe with the same 12-lane setup it had when opening in 1958.

Fun extended from Founders Park to Sloan Lake
Curving paved paths connect Founders Park to the Active Adult Center, where instructors lead fitness and dance classes. Dogs and their owners follow the path through Founders Park, passing local artist Joshua Wiener’s public art piece, “What Has Stood, Shall Always Be,” which was created to honor the legacy of a fallen tree. Hopper Hollow Park fills with kids swinging and sliding on the insect-themed playground. Basketballs whish through the nets at Stites Park while children run across the mulch-covered playground on the other side of the fence. Sloan Lake Park is a 3-mile drive south where joggers and bikers share a paved trail circling the water. Children climb the park’s playground while rackets connect with tennis balls during friendly matches on the nearby tennis courts.
