The Streets at SouthGlenn

Love this area ! Sometimes I will stop in before work at the Whole Foods, which has a great selection of drinks, breakfast, lunch, and salad bar. Also an amazing bakery ! There is a Snooze which is always busy for good reason. Along with lots of fast food choices and some nice sit down restaurants. There is a movie theater and a couple retail store as well as department stores.

this is a great little outdoor mall, full of new and modern shops, restaurants and other stores just willing and eager to please. I like the big fountain surrounded by all the beautiful and abundant flowers and the vast variety of shopping choices that this outdoor mall provides. There is plenty of parking by one of the larger stores at either end of the mall or in the parking gararge.

Great place. I love mellow mushroom, smoking joes and bar Louie. Only decent «night life» in that area of suburbia.

I’ve been to South Glenn several times and it’s a great find in the middle of the suburbs. Outdoor mall with great atmosphere and lots to do. There is a movie theater, outdoor chess and tables, and a big outdoor fireplace. In the winter they have ice skating. For other things to do Sur la Table has cooking classes, there is Canvas and Cocktails and an Arts on Fire. Lots of shopping for whatever you are looking for and restaurants in all price ranges. Whole Foods is here for groceries or healthy quick food.
My only complaint is that the are starting to fill a few of the empty spots with chain stores. For example, there used to be a Mexican restaurant on one of the corners that was good, and they replaced it with a Victoria’s Secret. Not only is this annoying because we’d rather have unique boutiques or restaurants in that space, but I really don’t appreciate VS giant posters and have to try to avoid that walkway with my kids now. yuck.
SouthGlenn you have been doing so well! Don’t kick out the little guys for the big ones. You have a good thing going and I’d hate to see it go downhill. We don’t want another park meadows.

Overall I like this shopping center. It is convenient because it includes many restaurants, has a supermarket, a few fave stores to get some summer shopping done, and it also includes a movie theater. Kinda what Cherry Creek North tries to accomplish but with much lower prices and more compacted. It is nice not having to walk long distances amongst construction work to get to the stores you need to go.

I’ve been by this mall several times and the only places I ever really go is the Canvas & Cocktails and the European Wax Center. As far as dining is concerned, the one time I did try and have dinner here it was terribly overpriced and awful with a small menu and snobbish wait staff. This shopping center doesn’t really have a point or a purpose I don’t think the owner put much thought into planning occupancy or what they are trying to cater too. The location, the surrounding area, is older which makes it stand out even more and probably not in a good way.

What cracks me up is this is the first check in I have had at South Glenn but frequent this place! From Snooze, a great Whole Foods, Charming Charlie, H&M, Old Navy, movie theater, Phở… the Streets of South Glenn is a lovely place to walk around and spend some of your day shopping. Good restaurants and choices for specialty clothing, etc. and I am a happy girl.

I grew up going to Southglenn mall as a child and although I was sad to see it go, (because of the memories) I couldn’t be happier with the new Streets of Southglenn! My husband and I live within walking distance and enjoy taking walks up there with our two daughters, 6 and 5 years old. We love the restaurants, the movie theater and shops. Although I must say, as a mother of two, I LOVE having the library as well as Brilliant Sky Toys and Books and Color Me Mine. It’s also great that they have the ice skating in the winter and a small park during the summer! They offer different activities for children and their family throughout the year which are always fun. I also love how they support the area schools for attending the family activities, shopping, going to a movie and dining!

I enjoy visiting The Streets at SouthGlenn, the from-​the-​ashes incarnation of the old SouthGlenn Mall. The Streets has a great mix of independent shops and restaurants, anchored by Macy’s, Sears, and big box stores on the perimeter.
My barber is at Floyd’s, Pizza is great at Mellow Mushroom, Pho95 is there for a change of pace, and the movie theater is excellent. The Streets also has apartments and offices making this assemblage of real estate an ongoing concern. There’s even a Library!
Let’s hope some of the empty storefronts get occupied soon.

The streets at Southglenn makes it a little more bareable to live in the burbs. It has quite a nightlife, some great shops, and a really nice 24 hour fitness gym.

I like that this ‘mall’ is an outdoor mall — all the storefronts open to the street. There are ton of restaurants and stores to check out — from fancy and casual dining to boutique shopping. My favorites are Canvas and Cocktails (super fun painting classes) and the Hollywood Theaters. Overall, a nice, suburban center to spend time strolling from store-​to-​store.

Sad to see so many unfilled spaces and failed restaurants, but overall I enjoy living at the Streets of Southglenn, though I’ve only been here a few weeks. The area is dog-​friendly, with scattered poop stations (but only one grassy knoll for them to play.) There are some fun shops (Brilliant Sky, Maggie Moo’s, the candy store) and quite a few frou-​frou clothiers and «antiques.» Also a do-​it-​yourself pottery shop (Color Me Mine) and Canvas and Cocktails, which seems to be a big hit! The movie theater is great, and so far the restaurants I’ve dined at (Hodson’s, Snooze, Cantina Laredo & Bar Louie) have been decent. Tons of beautiful landscaping and a generally safe place to roam in the evenings. It’s nice being able to walk to Whole Foods for a missing ingredient, or Toyko Joe’s for a quick lunch. Just wish there were even more fun shops and restaurants. ..

Love this place. Great shops and bars. Love that they have little markets on the second Saturday of the month. There is a parking garage, so plenty of parking.
Some of the shops tend to be over priced specialty shops that belong more in Cherry Creek than here, but I’m betting they might change in the future.

The only reason I go here is because University of Phoenix moved their nursing program to this mall. I go to school in a mall! Strange indeed. I do like the concept of this mall. You aren’t all closed in one giant, soul sucking building. It has a nice urban, young feel to it, even though you are in the burbs. The stores are decent. The Whole Foods is the best I’ve been in. There is a nice lookin cinema and some decent restaurants and eateries. They have everything from pizza, to fine dining. It was lit up really cute over Christmas and they even set up a small ice skating rink. You can easily find parking in the free garage.

I have watch both southglenns be build first the old one, now this new one. I give the place four stars for a couple of reason. One great people watching. Two great places to eat. Third whole food. Fourth dog friendly. Ok so I can’t count. It’s a fun place. Oops, I forgot the movie theater one of the best in the erea.

This residential/​retail community is set up better than other renewed shopping areas in the Denver metro area. Sure the shops are not anything new, different or unique but hey what do you expect? If you really wanted that you have to go downtown Denver for that. And don’t give me «Ooooo Downtown??» Like it is a scary place filled with specters and monsters. The Streets at Southglenn looks fairly quaint at night when all of the clear lights come on and the parking is free near as I can tell and that includes the parking garage. All in all not too bad of a place to eat, shop and kill time. To live? Ummm, I am not too sure about that. Best do research on that.

I worked at the SouthGlenn Mall when I was a teenager. It was a typical indoor mall on a single level but tiered from end-​to-​end. At the north end was May D&F which later became Macy’s and on the south end, Sears. As do all indoor malls, SouthGlenn was once new and cool but eventually became old and tired.
The recent architectural trend toward taking old indoor malls and turning them into hip outdoor «new-​urban» centers has become ever popular throughout the metro area. Lowry and Stapleton are the largest with a mass of apartments, condos, town homes and single family homes mixed in with shops and restaurants. Bel Mar, which was transformed from the old Villa Italia Mall and now The Streets of SouthGlenn are smaller new-​urban areas.
We visited Restaurant Home, one of the few (currently) restaurants at SouthGlenn. We were also looking forward to checking out the new Whole Foods to compare it to the WF closer to home.
The anchors (Macy’s and Sears) are still there, in the same place, but everything in between is an open-​air mass of retail and living space inhabited by only a handful of restaurants and retail. In the center there is a huge fountain (sans water for now — hopefully it will be fully functioning during the winter months). Radiating from the fountain are is a large movie theater, the two anchor stores, the massive Whole Foods and a few restaurants and stores. I was expecting to find the usual (chains), Banana Republic, Ann Taylor etc., but was surprised that they are not there. I’m not sure was the occupancy rate is but it looked like about twenty percent.
The side streets have a fair amount of diagonal parking and the large lot outside of WF was pretty full — undoubtedly for WF shoppers. The developer included an outdoor sound system so you can listen to music while walking around. This made it feel a little like an upscale amusement park — without the rides, or the people.
I get what they are going for. They are trying to create an area where young professionals want to live, shop and eat. My problem with SouthGlenn, and with all of these new urban centers is that everything is built at the same time and all of the buildings look like it. My prediction is that in ten years time you will be able to precisely pinpoint the year that the area was built and that the architecture will be «oh, so 2009» and out-​of-​date.
Go to the Highlands neighborhood, Old Littleton and a myriad of other small urban neighborhoods and you notice how different everything looks, probably because these neighborhoods evolved over time.
Don’t get me wrong, The Streets at SouthGlenn is «pretty» and I hope that as the economy continues to recover that all of that empty is filled with lots of local restaurants and shops and that people decide to live there. In that way perhaps it will change and grow over time, not to be torn down and replaced with the next «new thing» twenty years from now.
