Out in the western suburbs of Denver is a town called Wheat Ridge. Wheat Ridge is located west of Denver and is bordered by Kipling on the West to about Sheridan on the East side. It goes from about 32nd Avenue on the south to I-70 on the north side. This is a great little community with a lot to offer:

• a nice little old town, downtown area right at 32nd and Wadsworth it goes over to Sheridan

• lots of little shops

• restaurants

• a point of interest is the best bike shop in Denver, which is ‘Wheatridge Cyclery’

If you’re interested in looking in Wheat Ridge, in any of these surrounding areas, you can visit www.EasyDenverHomeSearch.com Search by map, using the streets I mentioned or just put in the city of ‘Wheat Ridge’ in your search criteria. Either way, there’s plenty of homes to choose from.

Wheat Ridge has an average sales price of about $249,000 and it’s only down about 10% over the past 15 months. The foreclosure rate is high in some parts, as high as 47-48% but in the heart of Wheat Ridge, it’s actually very low. There’s good deals to be had, regardless of the part of town, and it’s certainly an area worth checking out.

One of the least expensive places to live on the West side of town that’s close to the city and is experiencing an extremely high foreclosure rate is an area called Berkley. Actually there are 2 areas Berkley and Sunnyside. Berkley and Sunnyside are surrounded by 38th Avenue at the south and go from Sheridan over to Federal on the east and west. Then it goes up north to about Regis University which is about 60th Street, 58th Avenue. There’s another little area in there called Regis which is right around the University.

These areas have suffered a high rate of foreclosure, so they’re very good areas for both:

• Investors that are looking to fix and rent or fix and flip

• First-time buyers that are looking to get into a neighborhood for under $200,000.

These areas all have homes for under $200,000. In fact, the average price in Berkley in the past 15 months is only about $125,000. And that’s for a 2 bedroom, 1 bath house, maybe a garage detached out back. There’s other areas with prices as high as the low $200,000’s but most of them you’ll find to be in the mid $100,000’s up to $200,000.

If this is an area you’re interested in, you don’t want to wait, because these go fast in this area because of the foreclosures. Right now, there’s pretty low inventories so there’s multiple offers on a lot of properties. If you’d like to search for homes or go look at a home then just start with  www.EasyDenverHomeSearch.com you can use the map feature to search the area I outlined or just put in ‘Berkley’ or ‘Sunnyside’ or ‘Regis’ or all three in the city section on the search criteria.

If you have any more questions about these areas, you can also contact me at 303-526-2606 or just drop me an email at Sam [at] SamWilsonGroup.com
