Cottages in Lakewood

Bear Creek Lake Park offers a perfect escape with hiking trails and a swim beach just minutes from downtown. The Lakewood Cultural Center hosts performances ranging from local theater to touring musicians in an intimate setting. Belmar Shopping Mall combines outdoor plazas with boutiques and restaurants where locals gather for summer concerts. Red Rocks Amphitheater sits nearby, where concerts unfold against massive sandstone formations that create natural acoustics. The Denver Federal Center houses more federal agencies than anywhere outside Washington DC - though tours are understandably limited. Colorado Christian University and Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design bring youthful energy to this city that balances suburban comfort with mountain adventure.
