Edgewater

Named for its waterside geography, Edgewater sits on the west side of Sloan’s Lake and south of Wheat Ridge. Edgewater is not a neighborhood of Denver but a tiny town (approximately 1 square mile) offering residents a mix of affordable housing and diversity while still being close to the big city. 

This mostly residential area has an abundance of local eateries and modern shops. It features many local community sports like yoga studios, parks, and a skate park, but its primary highlight is direct access to Denver’s largest lake and second-largest park. 

Learn more about Edgewater below and make sure to come by our Native Roots Marijuana Dispensary anytime to check out our freshest strains and premium cannabis products and accessories.
