The tiny town of Edgewater, nestled on the western edge of Denver near Wheat Ridge, has in recent years been experiencing a bit of a boom.
The tight-knit working-class community, known in the 1880s for its bordellos and saloons, has been luring city-dwellers away from Denver in favor of its small-town atmosphere. Families stroll Edgewater’s quiet streets to patronize the outcropping of new cafes and shops, and the biking and jogging paths of Sloan’s Lake are just a few blocks away.
