unique is its ‘S’-shaped configura-
tion organized around three distinct
and lushly landscaped courtyards,
for active, passive, pool and poolside
activities topped-off with the rooftop
sky lounge with private indoor/out-
door entertainment areas with views
of the Rocky Mountain foothills and
the downtown skyline, an exception-
al feature in this area,” stated Willis.
“Residents of Avenida Lakewood
will enjoy resort-style amenities
and beautiful, modern apartment
homes without the responsibility of
ownership. The goal is to make the
residents’ lifestyle as luxurious and
effortless as possible, so they can
enjoy every day to the fullest,” said
Robert D. May, managing partner
with Avenida Partners.
Willis noted that Avenida Lake-
wood’s design accommodates the
slope of the site by creating a lower
level at the bottommost end of the
site and increasing the ceiling height
in the amenity space at the cen-
ter of the site. “The amenity space
wraps the central courtyard boast-
ing a heated saltwater pool, spa and
outdoor dining, while the interior
offers residents access to yoga and
fitness rooms, beauty salon, lounge,
TV room and movie theater, arts and
crafts room, bistro/dining hall, living
room, business center and confer-
ence area,” Willis said.
Other community amenities
include an elegant great room, pub
and game room, dog park, outdoor
patio and barbecue grills, garden
plots, shuffleboard area and walking
trails.
The apartment homes at Avenida
Lakewood range in size from 793 to
1,238 square feet and include a mix
of 92 one-bedroom apartments and
138 two-bedroom apartments. Some
of the apartment features include a
private balcony, granite countertops,
wood cabinetry with designer hard-
ware, stainless steel appliances, and
a washer and dryer in all homes.
“There is a tremendous demand
for more senior housing as our
population ages,” said May. “And, by
allowing Avenida Lakewood resi-
dents to choose which amenities
and services they pay for rather
than paying for what they don’t use,
seniors can make their money go
much further. We hope to set a new
higher standard for active-adult liv-
ing in the Denver metro area with
the debut of Avenida Lakewood.”
The community is set to open in
spring 2019.
