Conveniently located minutes from downtown Denver, Epoque Golden also offers easy access to nearby Mount Zion and Lookout Mountain.

In the time of COVID-19, Epoque Golden also offers new apartments that have never been used before and gives people an escape from the challenges of modern-day city life.

Epoque Golden (pronounced epic) is designed to appeal to active 55-plus residents who crave morning hikes followed by yoga and mimosas or a relaxing dip in the ozone pool.

The 120-unit complex, located near Colorado 93 and Golden Gate Canyon Road, blends views of the foothills with lavish amenities including an outdoor lap pool, state-of-the-art fitness studio, yoga/barre studio with outdoor meditation deck, a community garden with a potting lab, a dog washing and grooming room, bike repair and storage, and golf and ski storage.

Conveniently located minutes from downtown Denver, Epoque Golden also offers easy access to nearby Mount Zion and Lookout Mountain, where residents can enjoy hiking, biking, kayaking, or rock climbing. The complex sits near more than 250-acres of parks, 24 miles of hiking and biking trails, and offers golfers easy access to Fossil Trace, The Club at Rollings Hills and Applewood Golf Course.

In addition, Epoque Golden offers a la carte five-star services, including housekeeping, an Uber-operated service to restaurants on Washington Street in Golden, cooking classes, outdoor excursions, pet sitting or dog walking, onsite car washes, plus in-home decorating and right-sizing assistance.

In the time of COVID-19, Epoque Golden also offers new apartments that have never been used before and give people an escape from the challenges of modern-day city life, says Ashley Wysocarski, senior field marketing manager.

“At Epoque Golden, you can be as social or as secluded as you want to be,” Wysocarski says. “We provide what you want and what you need on your schedule.”

The complex is one of two in Colorado that offers the award-winning Senior Umbrella Network (SUN®) program, which caters to residents 55+ with superior services and activities managed through an onsite director. During COVID-19, Epoque Golden adapted the programs using technology and social distancing to protect residents.

The seven-prong SUN® program focuses on health and wellness; finance, legal and administrative services; education and lifelong learning; fun and recreation; convenience and economies; community and friendship, and safety and security.

In a typical week, residents can choose from activities ranging from chair exercises at the pool or Zoom yoga or Tai-chi to Wine Down Wednesday and Thursday morning breakfasts.

Epoque Golden offers studios starting at $2,223 per month, and large two-bedroom or three-bedroom homes start at $3,074 and include: • Energy Star® stainless-steel appliances including French door refrigerator and gas ranges • European-style, soft-close cabinets • Quartz countertops • Luxury wood-fabricated flooring • Oversized walk-in closets • Full-sized washer and dryer in each unit • Solid core doors • Brushed nickel fixtures • Oversized windows with roller shades • FOB-access entry system • Pre-wired for satellite TV and internet

Residents pay no deposit or HOA dues, and anyone who moves in now can get up to two months rent-free with a 12-month lease.

The complex was constructed state-of-the-art noise-reduction measures, including acoustic floor mats under the flooring.

Epoque Golden is designed for the active senior who is ready to ditch standard home maintenance for the ease of luxury living. The complex offers fully independent living but will help residents bring in additional services, including home health care that they need when they need them. “We want to make sure you can live your life fully,” Wysocarski says. “This is your home. We want you to be able to stay here an enjoy it with the care you need on your schedule.”
