The community consists of two story homes on sizable lots in comparison to many other locations around the west and southwest areas built around the same time. Lots generally range from just under a quarter acre to around a third of an acre.
Tamarisk is another ideally sited community at the western edge of the greater Denver Metropolitan area. Being a part of the Green Mountain area of Lakewood, these homes are nestled up against the “foothills”. Just off of C470 and Morrison road, the community provides easy commutes into points south along C470 and into the Denver Tech Center as well as points north along the I-70 corridor. The Federal Center is a high draw for employment and you are literally minutes from being on the I-70 west into the mountains to pursue your outdoor adventures with hiking, skiing/snowboarding, etc. You have also many options to recreate locally with Hayden/Green Mountain trails, parks and attractions. Come see why many love the local feel of Tamarisk and Green Mountain and why many choose to call this home.
