Lakewood: Jefferson County's Largest City on Denver's Western Edge
Lakewood incorporated in 1969, absorbing a patchwork of unincorporated communities west of Denver that had been growing since the postwar boom. The city sits in Jefferson County and has a population of approximately 152,600, making it the fifth-largest in Colorado. Unlike many Denver suburbs, Lakewood never had a traditional downtown core; instead, commercial activity spread along Colfax Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard in auto-oriented strip development.
The Denver Federal Center, a 670-acre campus in Lakewood, houses offices for more than two dozen federal agencies. It is one of the largest concentrations of federal workers outside the Washington, D.C. area. The federal payroll has been a stabilizing force in Lakewood's economy for decades, insulating the city somewhat from the swings of the private sector.
Green Mountain, a mesa rising west of the city center, offers trails and views of both the Front Range and downtown Denver. Bear Creek Lake Park on the southern edge provides a reservoir for swimming and paddling. The Belmar shopping and residential district, built on the site of the former Villa Italia Mall, represents the closest thing Lakewood has to a walkable downtown.
