Golden, Colorado

Golden

A historic foothills town on Clear Creek, framed by Lookout Mountain and the Table Mountains.

Overview

Living in Golden

Golden was Colorado’s territorial capital in the 1860s. Today Washington Avenue — under its well-known “Howdy Folks!” arch — runs through a downtown of brick storefronts, with Clear Creek and its whitewater park a block away.

The Colorado School of Mines campus sits beside downtown, and Lookout Mountain, North Table Mountain and South Table Mountain enclose the town, putting trailheads minutes from most front doors.

Homes & architecture

Historic homes near downtown, mid-century and newer homes on the slopes with views east and west, and larger foothill properties toward Lookout Mountain and Golden Gate Canyon. Nicholas has closed sales on West 58th Avenue and Gore Range Way.
