Perfect retirement, senior friendly, great weather - not too hot too long, not too cold too long ! Excellent public transportation. Huge medical community. Fresh air, fresh water, fresh foods! Many, many public parks and open spaces.
Wheat Ridge is an amazing city! You can see mountains from your house and can feel the fresh mountain air. You can walk your dog, ride bikes in parks nearby. And everyone is friendly!
Wheat Ridge is an amazing and eclectic city! It is so close to the heart of Denver without being in the middle of a huge city. Everything you could possibly need from takeout, to gardening tools, to small boutiques is right around the corner. Wheat Ridge is quite safe and very vibrant. There are many small lakes and parks within the cities bounds, which makes for easy access to an active lifestyle.
