Updated 1-Bed Condo — Steps to Park, Trails & St. Anthony
This thoughtfully remodeled second-floor condominium (Unit #209) delivers a rare blend of comfortable scale, modern finishes, and exceptional access to transit and services. At roughly 812 square feet, the open plan places a renovated kitchen with granite counters and an enlarged island-style counter at the center of the living space — perfect for casual dining or entertaining. Tile floors run through the kitchen, dining and living areas and continue into the remodeled full bath, which features a tiled tub surround, upgraded vanity with a granite top, and an under-mount sink.
The bedroom opens to a large walk-in closet with double rods and flexible storage. Practical upgrades include a newer furnace and water heater called out by the seller, and newer windows that improve efficiency and comfort. Southern exposure and western mountain sightlines provide attractive light and outlook without sacrificing privacy. The unit is offered fully furnished if desired, enabling a plug-and-play purchase for buyers or investors.
Parking is simple: one reserved surface space sits right in front of the building for quick ingress/egress. Outside your door you’ll find trailheads and greenbelts just a block away, plus immediate walkability to the new St. Anthony medical campus and convenient transit options (light rail within a short walk). Downtown Golden and the Belmar retail/dining district are only minutes away, while quick routes lead to downtown Denver for work and recreation.
Whether you’re an investor seeking a turnkey rental near medical and transit hubs, a first-time buyer looking for a low-maintenance home, or someone downsizing with style, this unit combines tasteful updates and a superb location. Verify HOA documents and parking assignment during due diligence.

431 Wright St #209, Lakewood, CO 80228
Central Lakewood is an established, mature neighborhood that sits at the edge of Golden and offers a mix of single-family homes and low-rise multifamily developments. The area is increasingly attractive to buyers wanting shorter commutes into Denver and access to regional outdoor recreation. New medical and commercial investment in the corridor has improved amenities and rental demand, while local parks and trail systems create good walk and bike access.
Direct access to greenbelt trail systems and neighborhood parks; easy bike and pedestrian routes to regional open space and foothills trails.
A factual market snapshot around 431 Wright St.
Central Lakewood benefits from strong demand drivers: proximity to medical employers (St. Anthony), the Federal Center, and commuter transit into Denver. The condo segment in this price band (sub-$300K) is particularly attractive to first-time buyers and renters. Inventory in the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood MSA has tightened over recent years, shortening days-on-market for updated, well-located condos. Expect a competitive field for units in move-in condition — pricing here aligns with the local market where renovated one-bedroom condos often trade in the mid-$200Ks to high-$200Ks depending on condition, parking and proximity to transit. For investors, modest gross rental yields are achievable; for owner-occupiers this is an affordable entry into a region with steady long-term appreciation.
