I'm a 46-year-old police officer and Crime rate is something to consider -Acres Green sits at 43.4 per 100K. Average temperature is around 50--F, so expect cold winters. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

I've lived in Lakewood for about 11 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I love the pace of life here. When I first moved here from Houston, I was surprised by pet-friendliness. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Good internet infrastructure
- The community vibe scene is improving
The downsides:
- Nightlife is limited
- Can feel isolated
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for retirees. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
