Sloan's Lake Homes For Sale

A peaceful and vibrant neighborhood on the water
 
Minutes from downtown Denver is one of the area’s premier recreational destinations, Sloan’s Lake. The neighborhood sits around an enormous lake, made by chance when local farmer Thomas Sloan tapped into an aquifer and flooded 200 acres of land. Today the lake and surrounding park are the highlight of the neighborhood and allow for boat access, fishing, and miles of paved pathways for biking, walking, and more. It’s highly desirable for its walkability and proximity to downtown, offering residents an expansive assortment of entertainment options. Though the lake is a neighborhood highlight, it’s not all this charming neighborhood offers residents. Pockets of cultural additions like shops and restaurants have created quiet, dog-friendly, walkable areas for residents to browse.
 
Residential spots around the lake offer historically appealing homes like bungalows and ranches on expansive lots and even newly built townhomes. Most homes offer stunning views of the mountains, lake, and Denver skyline, making them more appealing to buyers. Those looking for a quiet neighborhood with recreational opportunities and stunning homes will find Sloan’s Lake the perfect fit.
