West of Denver Neighborhoods: Genesee

Genesee Colorado Real Estate Offers the Best of Both Worlds

The decision to move west of Denver is almost always related to the mountains. My buyers want to be closer to the places where they hike, bike, ski and ride, and they want more than a passing, distant glimpse of the hills. If you want to live IN the hills, but still have easy access to the city, Genesee Colorado is where you need to look.

Homes and neighborhoods in Genesee are surprisingly varied. Condos in the Village at Genesee can sell for under $300,000. On the other end of the spectrum, some of the most beautiful luxury homes in all of Denver are in Genesee, most with jaw-dropping views of the foothills and the city.


If you drive by Genesee and think that you don't want to live that close to I-70, there's a lot of the neighborhood that you can't see from the highway. Residents call it the back-side, and if you're willing to add a little time to your drive to the city (5-10 minutes), you get rewarded with the feeling that you're living in pure Colorado.

Keep in mind that Genesee is about 2,000 feet higher in elevation than the city. In the winter, if Denver gets 6 inches of snow, you can count on Genesee getting a foot or more. On the flipside, summers are noticeably cooler. A lot of homes in Genesee don't have air conditioning and those that do have the luxury of using them sparingly compared to their friends down the hill. The Village and Genesee each have a pool and clubhouse that get a lot of use in the summer.

The best way to get a feel for the variety and beauty of Genesee Colorado is to see it for yourself. It just so happens that I'd be more than happy to show it to you. Giveus a call or sendus an email and we'll set up a time to check it out.
