About Wheat Ridge

Wheat Ridge is a bustling suburb north of Denver surrounded by plains and wide open space that has continued to grow explosively year after year according to recent census data. First impressions of Wheat Ridge suggest it is growing that quickly simply because of its proximity to Denver, but upon closer exploration it is revealed that Wheat Ridge has a rich culture and industries of its own.

The city government there prides itself on keeping a pulse on what residents are feeling and their overall satisfaction with where they live. Results from the annual poll can be found on their city website. Wheat Ridge also has a healthy economic outlook thanks to the oil and agriculture industries providing stable employment for many residents. There are new developments being built every year for first time homebuyers as well as seasoned investors. Neighborhoods are considered very safe and there are a multitude of community activities to attend as well as plenty of golf, hiking trails, and public parks.

Education and Community

While living in Wheat Ridge, you will have access to not only Denver’s incredible array of dining and entertainment but also local farmers markets, soccer games and one of the largest wildlife refuges in the country. The city center is close to major intersections for both 1-70 and I-25 giving you a wide array of options for weekend adventures and day trips. The economy in Wheat Ridge is stable, and thriving. The reason for this is a combination of energy industry development, skilled trades, and entrepreneurial vigor. As with most areas of Northern Colorado the average education level of residents is high (usually a bachelors or further) along with a concentration of math and science trades. Bearing that in mind, Wheat Ridge is much more ethnically diverse because it is considered a top relocation site for many of the big companies in the area.

Investment Opportunities

For potential investors and entrepreneurs the opportunities in Wheat Ridge are virtually limitless. The main industry there is still manufacturing because of the high concentration of railroads and highways, but other high tech and science related jobs have begun to open up with more and more companies opening hubs in the area.

For real estate investors the timing could not be better to snap up a rental property or two in the multitude of new developments and neighborhoods.
