Applewood Golf Club
Golden is next door to Lakewood and provides an historic downtown experience.
Although Applewood is technically considered its own municipality, many homes that are labeled as “Applewood” may very well fall under Lakewood real estate or Golden when doing a property search. Applewood and the surrounding areas have a real charm about them.
Beautiful mid-century homes in Applewood dot the large wooded lots. Many of the homes there have been either partially or fully remodeled.
Red Rocks offers recreation and entertainment
Applewood can be confused with Golden, Lakewood, and Wheat Ridge because it is also located on the Northwest side of Green Mountain.
Applewood is also perfect for golf lovers. Because Applewood Golf Course and Fossil Trace Golf Club are public courses within a short drive. If you prefer a private country club setting, check out Rolling Hills Country Club. You will fall in love with the course, the facilities, and the views looking back into the city. Young families looking for a little more room to stretch out love Applewood
But, it also works well for retirees looking for great golf with easy access to both the foothills and the city!
