Wheat Ridge, Colorado
Located seven miles from downtown Denver, Wheat Ridge has been a longtime home for commuters and suburban residents, with a vivid view of the mountains and easy interstate access. Eighteen schools including a Montessori center and two parochial schools service Wheat Ridge.
Wheat Ridge is on the up and up. In July 2005, the Wheat Ridge City Council adopted the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy, a 92-page plan to direct the westerly suburb of Denver in a positive direction. Shortly thereafter, Wheat Ridge 2020 came into existence. The community based, non-profit organization is working in conjunction with residents and local government to encourage swift and appropriate development. The Wheat Ridge Business District, a partnership between local business owners and the City of Wheat Ridge to revitalize 38th Avenue, is also on board.
According to the NRS, Wheat Ridge has simply been beat out by neighboring areas, such as Littleton and Belmar, who have seen more rapid growth. To compensate, Wheat Ridge has a definite vision of its future: one that includes an increase in commerce and higher-end real estate and commercial real estate.
