    "The area is calm in a way, and also a lot of close proximity neighbors who are always welcoming! To include the area is prone to having people walk around based on the close lake!"

    "Sloans Lake, West Colfax is diverse, close to the lake, great food options in Edgewater, breweries walking distance, easily accessible to 25 and 6th to quick get into the mountains. Platte Trail is a stones throw away which quickly routes you to the cherry creek trail. "

    "No official dog park, but lots of pet friendly owners. Our dog has friends she runs around with. Some of the tall grass has dog droppings that are not cleaned up. "

    "Great parks & playgrounds! Schools are coming around. Kids play together in the open space, ride bikes & it’s very friendly. Nettie Moore & Paco Sanchez parks are lovely. Meow Wolf is coming in 2020. Light rail is nearby which is great for teens. "

    "Lots of space by the lake to take your dog on a long walk or around the neighborhood. Most everyone knows their dogs behavior so it is very rare to see any dog misbehavior. "

    "Great location near 6th and 25 and close proximity to Sloan’s lake. Investors are putting a lot of money around the area it will be very nice and expensive in a year or two. "

    "Up and coming neighborhood. Proximity to Sloan’s lake is great for a run or dog walk and downtown Denver is a 10 minute Uber ride away. I highly recommend the area to anyone looking to live close enough to the city without needing to be directly in it 24/7. "

    "The Sloan’s Lake area is beautiful and as a Denver Native, I can say it is one of my favorite places. I recently moved back to the area after finally finding an apartment I loved. Although it’s become quite expensive and nearly unrecognizable, I am happy to say I live here and enjoy the many restaurants, bars, playgrounds (for my nieces), that I can easily walk to. However, do not forget that this location is walking distance to Colfax Ave. where there are still many dangers. Walking, running, etc. alone or even with a partner at night is still not the safest thing to do, regardless of the expensive homes surrounding you. Please, take it from someone who grew up here. Don’t put yourself in danger. Be smart."
