Solana Lakewood is a 55+ apartment community at 11001 W 15th Place, Lakewood, Colorado, where folks get one- or two-bedroom apartments in layouts ranging from 798 to 1,234 square feet, with options for either one or two bathrooms, all set up with designer flooring, quartz countertops, well-sized bedrooms, and each home has its own private patio or balcony, so there's some space to get outside right from your own place. The apartments are designed for seniors seeking maintenance-free, service-enriched living, meaning that property management and day-to-day upkeep get handled for the residents, so you don't have to worry about mowing or fixing anything yourself, and it's all rental units, not owned.
The community has a bunch of amenities on-site, including a pool, gym, and outdoor spaces, and they keep things social with regular game nights, a grand parlor, a rooftop terrace, and a bistro for when people want to eat or meet others. There's also an outdoor dining area if you want to have your meals in the fresh air. Solana Lakewood makes things easier for pet owners, too, because there's an on-site pet spa and a private pet park so dogs and cats can be part of the community, though the pet policy means there's a $35 monthly fee per apartment, a $300 refundable deposit, and some breed restrictions to know about.
On top of that, there's a "Live Healthy" program and occasional events geared toward wellbeing, and the community keeps a calm and active environment for older adults. The apartments have contemporary features and a look that's simple but comfortable, and for people who like to see what's nearby, there's parks, shopping, and dining right outside the community. Folks here don't have to handle maintenance or heavy chores, and there's always help from the leasing team with questions about floor plans, neighborhood details, or paperwork.
There are some extra fees to be aware of, like a utility account setup at move-in for $17 per unit, a $1,000 community amenity fee, application fees of $15 per applicant, and a refundable holding deposit of $1,000, plus utility and admin fees, and optional services like renters liability insurance you can choose to add. Sometimes they run specials, such as $5,000 off the lease with a rent credit for moving in by May 31, 2025, which gets spread across the first and third months, if you get in by the listed dates. Solana Lakewood works with Greystar Advantage and mentions investment management, property management, logistics, student housing, and modular construction, though the focus here is active adult living. Office hours run Monday through Friday 8 AM to 5 PM, with shorter hours on Saturdays, and the community has a contact form to get started if you're interested in renting and seeing what apartments are available. At last check, they had some units open for move-in through late July and August. Overall, it's a straightforward choice for seniors looking for simple, modern, and pet-friendly apartments with plenty of places to be social or just relax.
