Always police around but they just patrol Lakeside…read more You have a Les Schwab tires, Walmart, Molly's, Planet Fitness, Petco, Goodwill, Dominos, Gas station, Great Clips barbershop, and a few other rotating businesses. Apart from the amusement park on the other side of the lake Lakeside is fairly small. A few other restaurants and then the stores here at Lakeside center. Molly's is great if you've never been. Kind of like Argonaut or Apple Jacks if you know those local stores. Lots of parking all around even when the stores get busy. Just make sure you go the posted speed limit. Police hanging around as mentioned before and they will write your a ticket. Not much to do so they hang around this parking lot bored.

Lakeside Center used to be a mall which at one point and time according to an 'ex' of mine was a…read morecool place to go to. By the time I moved to Arvada that time has long since passed by. I don't even know if there were shops where the main mall area was to tell you the truth. If there was they were useless stores and did not make an impression on me. The only store that I do remember there was a Target store. It was so old it was best called a Targhetto store. Very small, about the same amount of merchandise as compared to the other Targets only you were reminded where you were and it totally sucked! A couple of weeks ago I was in this area and most if not all of Lakeside Center looked like it was getting torn down. Goodbye to an eyesore! How about putting a nice open space park here now since they finally gave this place the axe, which it needed a long time ago!

Pizza (Papa John's), sushi, a bar (Bout Time Pub and Grub), and a breakfast spot are adjacent. They also have a Burger King and a Taco Bell. A Chase Bank, a gym, Big Lots, a massage place, a 7-11, a liquor store, King Soopers also with a gas station, and J's Cafe (Chinese) rounds out the area. Basically one big parking lot with several stores around the outside perimeter. No real lanes or arrows in or out so watch where you park and drive. Some people will drive 35 through the parking lot so that's something to be careful of. Otherwise it's like any other strip mall in the area.

Two blocks on Olde Wadsworth Boulevard and one block on Grandview Avenue are a pedestrian mall, but the district extends for over eight square blocks. The area is very walkable. Several large, peripheral parking lots are provided in addition to street parking. A major transit hub is at the south end of the property. Olde Town Square is right in the middle and McIlvoy Park borders the east side. The Arvada Farmers' Market operates Sunday mornings from June to September. This is a pleasant area to walk. There are over 30 food & drink establishments, multiple beauty and wellness salons, various service businesses, and over 20 boutiques and other shops. My favorite is the amazing Rheinlander Bakery, but there are lots of other choices. A nice change from mall culture.

Major retailers are King Soopers, Ace Hardware, Target, Great Clips, Cricket Wireless, Bellco Credit Union, Orangetheory Fitness, Lakefront Eyecare, crumbl Cookies, Nails Pro Spa, Happy Lemon (bubble tea), GNC, Sally Beauty Supply, McDonald's, and Chase Bank. There seems to be a lot of confusion between this open-air retail area--Edgewater Marketplace--and the Edgewater Public Market which is an enclosed festival market several blocks north at West 22nd Avenue and Depew Street. I often stop here on my way to or from Lakewood because there's a very convenient King Soopers gas station. The Soopers store itself is spacious and well-stocked. There's also a nice Ace Hardware. That's about the extent of my interest.

I went on a Wednesday afternoon and it was muted and a little underwhelming. Several galleries, some frame shops, some vintage shops. The Denver Ballet company. Surprisingly, there were a couple cocktail lounges (not open til 5), but no restaurants within 8/10 of a mile. I went to three galleries. The third I wanted to visit was closed, even though they were supposed to be open (the sign on the door warned us, sometimes we just aren't here). I think things probably liven up after 5 and on weekends. And there are monthly art days (I think first Friday). But overall it seems like it's starting to die. Worth a stop, but not worth going out of your way. If you're looking for art, the Denver Museum of Art is right there along with the Kirland and a lot of public art.

First of all the location is super centrally located in the 29th street mall. The staff are super friendly and want to make sure you have everything you need to make the most out of your upcoming race. One thing I really like is that the staff ask me to check the shirt in my packet to see if the size will work for me. Since I usually sign up for the race a couple months in advance I seem to underestimate my donut consumption (though this year I got it right by ordering a medium shirt rather than the small). Kudos to them as I'm sure the store gets busier and busier the closer it gets to race day. The store also features lots of great Schwag (polar bottles, sea level is for sissies tees for the fam, etc) so drop on in if you are in the area. If you don't have a recent race to get you into one of those sought after qualifier heats no worries, there's a treadmill in the store.

This neighborhood felt clean and upscale with plenty of great shopping and restaurants. When I asked ChatGPT to compare it to a San Diego neighborhood, it said Encinitas or La Jolla (if that reference point means anything to you). The area itself encompasses around 16 blocks filled with lots to do. We stayed at the Jacquard Hotel, which is part of the Marriott family. It was a lovely stay with a great lobby restaurant, Narrative and rooftop pool and bar. We enjoyed shopping at the mall as well as at the shops that line the streets. In terms of food, Quality Italian was our favorite for dinner and we enjoyed Little Man Ice Cream!

The premier living and shopping area of Denver is absolutely going through gentrification. Very nice single-story and two-story retail buildings are being torn down in order to provide more office buildings, apartment buildings and condominiums as well as lots more retail shops, spas , beauty salons and pricey restaurants and bars. Of course, it adds and brings thousands of people to the area, but with little hope of avoiding congestion. The city continues to express its desire that people visit using public transportation, but, of course, there are no trains, subways, or, rapid transit of any make, style or kind. For those who dare to bicycle into Cherry Creek North, be sure that your health insurance is paid up. So what's Cherry Creek North starting to look like, you guessed it, a mini Metropolitan downtown. Yet, it remains the place to shop and eat and walk among lots and lots of beautiful people who seem to own lots of dogs. Once the next door Cherry Creek West Neighborhood becomes developed it will add several thousand more people into the area. It remains Beverly Hills without the large green frontages, mostly big homes and beautiful landscaping, but, instead, a visitors' delight with high end homes and pricey apartments and high end retail shopping.
