Every single day, multiple times, I’m hearing a car alarm going off. I don’t get it. It’s north, south, east & west. It’s not always the same person (although I know who you are) you can’t seriously be sitting on your keys that often.
WHY IS THIS A THING. Not even a question. A statement of fact. I swear I’m going insane just because these fucking beep beeps are happening constantly.
If you have a car alarm, put your goddamn keys somewhere other than your ass when you sit down, for fucks sake.

Hi Lakewood Community! Super random question, but the Reddit community has been so great lately, let’s shoot for the stars!! I work in Lakewood and need to see a periodontist for a small implant issue I have. My dentist has referred me to a periodontist in Highlands Ranch and frankly that is just too out of the way and I will never go. Does anyone have a periodontist recommendation in the Lakewood/West Denver area? Honestly, I don’t know what to look for, what to ask, etc. but figure I went through enough issues to have this stupid implant, I might as well take care of it.
Thank you so much in advance!

We've lived in our building for about 4 years, when we moved in it was owned by a private landlord married couple. They owned 3 buildings next to each other, adding up to 11 units total, and earlier this year they informed all tenants about some inspections because they were adding a 'business partner'. Turns out they were not bringing in a partner, they were selling all three buildings. They dropped the sale on us on the last week of the month back in May and since the handoff, the new landlord is unresponsive to all contact unless it relates to him getting paid.

It took him about a week or two after the handoff to resolve waste disposal, the previous owners supplied a dumpster, but the new owner replaced that with 6 individual bins meant to service 11 apartments (all 2 and 3 bedroom apartments), expecting the 11 units to take turns pulling the bins out to the street and sorting it out among ourselves. The bins get taken out to the curb ontime every week, but 6 bins is insufficient, the bins are overflowing every week and there is a pile of trash outside the building starting to build up week after week.

The laundry facilties need maintenance, the dryers need a lint cleanout because running the dryer 5 times in a row was not able to dry an normal sized load when 2-3 runs is normally enough.

Whether we try to contact the new landlord by text, email, or phone, he is completely unresponsive. The only times we've heard from him was after the handoff when we frantically tried to contact him at the end of the month to find out how to pay him rent and one other time when he missed our payment but it was already paid. I've spoken to a few other tenants and they have the same experience, one tenant told me the landlord isn't cashing his rent checks more than a month afterwards.

Are there public services or tenant unions to assist with this sort of thing? ( I seriously doubt we'll qualify for low income assistance, but perhaps I could get the other tenants to sign on for a united front), or will we need to reach out to a private lawyer? Not sure if our situation is emergent enough to seek public assistance. Endgoal we either want the landlord to start being responsive and doing maintenance, or allow the lease to terminate early so we can look elsewhere (lease ends in April) and compensation for the unexpected early move.

Hi! I recently posted on here a list of apartments and have made a more simplified version of top contenders:
- Americana Lakewood
- Dover Commons
- Riva Ridge

I recently have added:
- Creekside at Amherst
- Ranch at Bear Creek

I would like some input on the last two if possible, I haven’t really seen them mentioned. Any thoughts are appreciated!

Lakewood residents will weigh in on a potential sales and use tax increase this November. 

While the weather is finally starting to cool down, that just means more opportunities for Coloradans to explore the outdoors. Luckily for Lakewood residents, Bear Creek Lake Park has a way to get out and explore — all while finding new friends. 

Bear Creek Lake Park’s annual Trail Running Series has returned, offering a weekly chance to get out and explore each Wednesday from Sept. 2 through Sept. 23. Each week, the series will offer a different path through the park, helping runners get to know every piece of the park as they explore. 

While there’s no crying in softball, for the Colorado Peaches, there sure is a lot of laughing —  sometimes enough to bring tears to their eyes.

The Colorado Peaches, a senior softball team with players ranging in age from 60 to 92, celebrated their 35th anniversary, making the team the oldest women’s senior softball team.

I’m just wondering if this sub has discord, I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone and try to make friends. I’m newly single Female, 39 and revolved my world around relationships and I‘m now realizing I don’t have a lot of friends. I’m not native and I migrated here about 15 years ago, don’t have a family and would be nice to build friendships.

I’m introverted, quite shy at first especially because English is not my first language. Just want to see what’s out there.

I have a mantle clock I would like serviced. Who do you recommend? Thank you!

I never did any wraps for my sedan car before, what are the pricing ranges for sedans, what shop do you trust with your car

I moved away from Lakewood over 20 yrs ago to northern Michigan. But I can get Hatch green chilies. So every year I buy a 25 lb box, roast and peel and I can have the taste and aroma of home. Green Chili with pork and Chile rellanos are in my immediate future.

Awesome project!!!

I was lucky enough to have a fantastic Driver's ED teacher/class as an elective in HS when I was a teen many moons ago. Well now I have a teen that is about to turn 15 and I guess that isn't really a thing anymore which is super disappointing.

So I'm looking for any Driving School recommendations from other Lakewood area parents. The larger franchise schools seem to all have equally poor reviews online. I'm looking for a quality program that isn't just a student mill trying to maximize profits.

Thank you all!

I need to do an oil change soon and went to Urban auto care on Kipling only to find out they were going to charge me almost ~$150 for an oil change and tire rotation when I was providing my OWN oil and oil filter. At that point I would rather go buy some ramps and replace my own oil. My apartment doesn't allow car maintenance in the driveway. Are there any DIY car maintenance shops nearby?

Where do people go to replace their own oil?

Hi! I am new to the community, and hopefully you dont hate me, I bought a house in Pine, CO so I can hopefully retire there as I love the area, but for now im stuck being a working gal in KS, and im trying to rent it out on Airbnb when I am unable to work remote. Our street is pretty steep, single lane, .3 miles of dirt. When we bought it, found out one of the neighbors headed up street maintenance and snow removal, after finally connecting with him, no other neighbors help chip in for snow removal, its just him, an ATV and plow. He needs help, we need help!

My husband's dad isnt doing so good right now so im trying to source some options in the area, either snow removal that wont break the bank as we just are getting stable from the house purchase, OR we are thinking of getting creative- I have a studio above the detached garage that has its own balcony and epic views. Considering trading cheap, heavily reduced rent for someone who has a truck and plow and can help the neighbor, OR we plan to buy an ATV and plow, and the neighbor could help teach ya how to do it. Would there be any takers out there, or any helpful advice?
