The High Line Canal Trail bisects the neighborhood with possibilities for hiking, biking, and horseback riding.
The Colorado Center movie theater features an IMAX screen and hosts many sneak previews of upcoming films. Several shopping centers sit on the edge of town, as well as local and chain restaurants. Lovers of international cuisine enjoy several options for dining without having to leave town. An active neighborhood association hosts an annual neighborhood picnic and other activities that are great for meeting neighbors. Residents can easily travel to Englewood, Lakewood, and Aurora as well.

10 years ago this was a great place to live and it was safe! Now is another story. As a senior citizen this place is NOT safe. Our apartment building is awful. The owners don't care and the police do nothing about the crime. We provide surveillance tapes of thefts and they do "O". The homeless are a major problem too.

There are plenty of stores nearby to help with shopping, a local library, several parks, and emergency services are all nearby.

In my immediate area, there aren't very many options unless you want to work in the service industry.
