Wheat Ridge is located immediately west of Denver, an agricultural centered town recently incorporated in 1969. Home to 30,000 residents, Wheat Ridge sits within the Colorado Piedmont and offers stunning views of the Rocky Mountains in the distance.

Originally founded as a farming and agricultural hub in the 1850s for travelers during the Gold Rush, Wheat Ridge has continued to build around its farming heritage. With an abundance of local farms, produce stands, urban gardens, and farmers’ markets, the city is recognized as an important part of the state’s fruit and vegetable trade. With a short commute to Denver, the city provides small-town living just outside the state capitol.

For those in the farming and agriculture trade, Wheat Ridge’s real estate market is particularly appealing due to the rich history and vast amount of farmland available to grow a variety of produce.
