I live walking distance from the Belmar Mall in Lakewood, CO. It is an example of mixed- land use. There are lofts, entertainment and even some mixed-income housing along its periphery. Everything you need is within walking distance from it. There is a post-office and a grocery store. However, it is very centered towards certain kinds of people. The stores cater to certain people. For example: Whole foods and Coldwater Creek are not stores that cater to the masses. It is also automobile centric. The 3 bus stops running at 11:30pm which is unfortunate if you get out of work at 1am. It is what is known as a town center and an example of retrofitting suburbia. Lakewood is a suburb.
