Living in Edgewater
Edgewater is what Sloan's Lake was 10 years ago - a neighborhood in the early stages of being discovered, where the community character is still raw and authentic. Edgewater Public Market has become one of the Denver metro's great food-hall destinations, drawing visitors from across the city and creating a permanent reason to live within walking distance. The lake trail begins a few blocks away. For buyers who want to get ahead of the appreciation curve, Edgewater is the clearest opportunity in the market.
"Edgewater is the best value play adjacent to Sloan's Lake. The appreciation numbers speak for themselves - 12% year-over-year is not an accident, it's the market pricing in what residents already know: the Edgewater Public Market, the lake access, and the community character make this one of Denver's most livable neighborhoods at the most accessible price point. I'm telling buyers to get in now."
