The Wheat Ridge neighborhood of Bel Aire, Colorado lies seven miles northwest of downtown Denver via easy access to I-70. This former agricultural area retains much of the laid-back charm of years past while providing residents of its homes and apartments access to big-city amenities. The nearby recreation center includes a swimming pool, indoor track, and dance and yoga classes.
Outdoor enthusiasts head to Crown Hill Park, which features a mile-long paved track around a lake, ideal for biking, running, and walking. Equestrians enjoy a two-mile loop for riding, and fishermen find quiet places to throw in a line. Within the park, a national urban wildlife refuge treats residents to glimpses of migrating waterfowl. For a quick meal, locals enjoy the cheesesteak sandwiches at Large Marges.
