Applewood, CO Real Estate & Luxury Homes

Welcome to Apple Wood

Nestled along the western edge of the Denver metropolitan area, Applewood offers a rare blend of classic suburban charm and foothill serenity. Situated primarily in Jefferson County—spanning parts of Lakewood, Wheat Ridge, and Golden—these sister communities are prized for their mature tree-lined streets, generous lot sizes, and proximity to both downtown Denver and the Rocky Mountains.

Originally developed in the mid-20th century, Applewood retains a timeless neighborhood character, with well-kept mid-century homes and newer custom builds that have thoughtfully modernized the area’s architectural fabric. Applewood West, located within the Golden city limits, features larger estates and custom homes on premium parcels, many with sweeping mountain views and direct access to open space.

Life here revolves around the outdoors. Residents enjoy an abundance of parks, trails, and greenbelts—including South Table Mountain Park, Crown Hill Park, and the Applewood Golf Course—offering endless opportunities for hiking, cycling, and golf against scenic foothill backdrops. The neighborhood’s elevated location delivers some of the best sunsets along the Front Range.

Families are drawn to Applewood for its inclusion in the Jefferson County School District R-1, one of the most respected districts in the state. Long-standing residency and strong community ties lend a genuine sense of stability and pride of ownership—many homeowners have lived here for decades.

Despite its peaceful, established setting, Applewood’s location offers seamless connectivity: just minutes to downtown Golden, Denver West, and I-70, providing an easy commute into the city or a quick escape to the mountains.

In essence, Applewood captures the best of Colorado living—spacious homes, mature landscapes, exceptional schools, and a natural connection to the outdoors—all within reach of Denver’s urban conveniences. The result is a refined yet relaxed community that feels both timeless and distinctly Colorado.
