Nestled in the foothills of the Rockies just west of Denver are two of Denver's most unique communities. Located just across I-70 from each other, Genesee is located on the south side and Lookout Mountain is on the north side. The communities are just at the point where the mountains begin and the city drops behind, providing mountain living for city people! At an altitude of about 7,500 feet, the beauty and serenity of mountain living unites with the easy accessibility to the amenities of Denver's vibrant metropolitan area.
Less than thirty minutes west of Denver, both communities boast large expanses of land in the midst of fragrant pine groves and rolling meadows. Most residences have panoramic vistas of either downtown Denver or the majesty of the Continental Divide to the west, or both.
Genesee is a covenant-protected community existing in harmony with the area’s natural setting. More than half of Genesee’s 2000 acres will never be built upon. This dedicated open space provides 12 miles of well-maintained hiking trails, offering residents the opportunity to enjoy the natural environment within an easy walk of their home. There is also ample opportunity for recreational activities with three clubhouses, three playgrounds, two outdoor pools, tennis courts, racquetball and exercise facilities, and meeting rooms. Genesee is a place of uncommon individuality in home designs, uniquely placing each residence within the mountain terrain. Every building site has its own identifying character, such as a striking rock formation, a stand of pine or aspen trees, or a grassy slope.

Lookout Mountain, though just across the highway, has its own unique flavor. Composed of seven major communities and several more smaller communities, the area is a mixture of covenant and non-covenant controlled areas which provides more diversity of home and living styles. Several areas are zoned for horses. Most homes are on wells and septic systems. While the area does not have a general community pool and recreation area there is a private club - Mt. Vernon Country Club. You will find, older, more established communities as well as newer housing areas with a wider range of home values.For more information on these areas, click on this link: www.co.jefferson.co.us
