Sunrise Creek
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Sunrise Creek lies in unincorporated Jefferson County rather than the City of Lakewood. Its park and greenbelt are Foothills Park and Recreation District property at S. Simms Street and W. Progress Place, about four miles south of Lakewood's southern limit and inside the 80127 postal area. Homes are single-family plans built from roughly 1990 to 2010 on eighth to quarter-acre lots, with association dues of $50 to $100 a month covering the shared greenbelt. Wide sidewalks feed the greenbelt trail, and the higher lots open west toward the hogback. W. Belleview Avenue and S. Kipling Parkway are the through routes, with C-470 about five minutes south.
