Sloan’s Lake

Denver’s largest lake, with downtown on one shore and the mountains beyond the other.

Overview

Living in Sloan’s Lake

Sloan’s Lake Park wraps a lake of nearly 180 acres, the largest in Denver. A loop path of about 2.6 miles circles the water, and the eastern shore lines up a view of the downtown skyline that is hard to beat anywhere in the city.

Redevelopment of the former St. Anthony hospital campus on the north shore has added restaurants, a cinema and residences, while the blocks to the south and west keep a quieter, residential feel that runs into Edgewater.

Homes & architecture

Brick bungalows and post-war homes sit alongside new modern single-family builds and townhomes. Properties with direct lake or skyline views carry a clear premium; a few streets back, prices adjust quickly.

Setting

West Denver, centred on Sheridan Boulevard and West 17th Avenue, bordering Edgewater and the Highlands.

What defines Sloan’s Lake

On the water

Paddleboarding, sailing and the annual Colorado Dragon Boat Festival.

North shore

Mixed-use redevelopment with dining and entertainment within walking distance.

Edgewater

A small independent city on the west shore with its own shops and civic center.

Access

Close to I-25, US-6 and the W Line light rail.
