Lakeside is a town in Jefferson County, Colorado, U.S., adjacent to the City and County of Denver. As of the 2000 census, the town population was 20. The town's namesake lake is Lake Rhoda, which covers 20% of its total area. A year after its incorporation on November 12, 1907, the Lakeside Amusement Park, nicknamed "White City", opened on the eastern shores. Both town and park were founded by a syndicate led by prominent Denver brewer Adolph Zang, who endeavored to build the resort just across the county line from Denver, and incorporate to move beyond the reach of questionable Denver liquor laws. Today the amusement park continues to occupy much of the area of the tiny municipality. Also in town on the southern shore is Lakeside Mall, built in 1956, and reputedly the first enclosed indoor shopping mall in America.

The median income for a household in the town was $34,375, and the median income for a family was $9,375. Males had a median income of $20,625 versus $0 for females. The per capita income for the town was $16,339. There are 66.7% of families living below the poverty line and 44.4% of the population, including 100.0% of under eighteens and none of those over 64.
