arvada: Roosters Men's Grooming Center in Arvada CO - 01/20/12 11:03 AM
When I first saw the sign for Roosters Men's Grooming Center in Arvada, I thought it looked like such a fun place that I called my daughter and asked her to take her son there for his first haircut (whenever she was ready to take that big step, of course!). The moment we walked in we were greeted with a warm, classic decor and friendly people. When the big day arrived, Jayden's dad, Josh came too. So I got to see the 'little boy experience' and the 'big boy experience'. Both boys got the classic barber-shop experience, with contemporary

arvada: Don't Waste Time Looking at the Wrong Townhomes - 06/22/11 02:19 AM
If you're ready to move, and you want a townhouse that's ... super-clean completely updated uber-well maintained with a garage a gorgeous fenced yard located in Arvada, Golden, Wheat Ridge, or Westminster and you don't want to deal with the hassles of a short sale to look at dozens of properties that don't meet your needs to spend over $130,000 the good news is ... it won't take very long to look at every single available home that meets all those requirements. Because there's only 1 - 5146 W. 61st Dr. #13 in Arvada, CO. (Click the

arvada: Women and Travel - Visit Tattered Passport - 05/02/11 12:05 PM
My life here between Denver and Boulder is blessed with several truly wonderful friends, and one of my Arvada buddies is Dee Harwick. (Yes, even a real estate agent can have time for friends!) My husband and I have been great friends with Dee and her husband Kerry, for a number of years. Sadly, Kerry passed away, leaving all of us feeling lost and full of grief. One of the dreams Dee and Kerry shared, was to travel. What now, we wondered - would Dee have to give up that dream, or travel alone? This post isn't about Dee's journey of

arvada: Colorado Communities I Practice Real Estate In - 12/01/10 12:20 PM
This is inspired by a post written by Samuel Kahuila. You can see the New Jersey communities Samuel practices real estate in. I thought this was a great idea, because I want to make it clear that I don't just work in Arvada, even though most of my posts are about Arvada. When I first started learning about blogging, I wanted to create a resource for the public that gave more than the typical 'Click Here to Find Homes' or 'Let Me Tell You About Myself'. I wanted to really tell people about one town between Denver and Boulder, partly because

arvada: Arvada's Meadowglen Neighborhood - Market Report 1/10 - 01/30/10 03:29 PM

Arvada’s Pomona Lakes neighborhood currently has only 2 homes for sale, ranging in price from $254,900 - $274,900. One of them is a short sale. That one has a pending offer, waiting on the bank's approval, and has been on the market since last June. The other has been on the market since November.

There is one Pomona Lakes home currently under contract. It is a bank-owned foreclosure and was listed at $204,000 when it

arvada: Arvada Livin' - How Our Doggies Deal With the Snow - 10/30/09 02:09 PM
Over the last two days, the Denver area (including my home town of Arvada) experienced The Big Snow of 2009 - that's what I'm calling it, in hopes that it's the only one. No, I don't like snow. Yet it's a part of our lives here in Colorado. The good news is, it usually doesn't stay on the ground here in town very long, especially early and late snow falls. But for those of your who looooove snow - even after it melts here you don't have to go far to find it, so no worries! Anyway, back to the topic

Hi, Jill - I'm sorry to hear about your daughter's baby, colic can be horrible. We went through that, too. Boy, when I had a few minutes to spare, I wanted to use it for sleep! Exhausted and looking for a new home? Not fun! That's why she needs a dedicated buyer's agent. I've attached a form explaining that in Colorado you can work with an agent in two ways - as your agent, or as a transaction broker - and it's your choice. See the form here. (The agent who took you around looking at houses before should have gone over

arvada: Use Your iPhone to Find Homes for Sale - 06/10/09 08:18 PM
iPhone(r) App – for those of you who don’t have an iPhone(r), ‘apps’ are features you can add yourself. To use them, you just touch the screen. One of the fun things about owning an iPhone(r) is that total strangers who also have the phone will strike up conversations, telling you about some cool new app you must have. Now, it’s my turn to share.Trulia.com is one of the internet sites I use to market my listings. (I also answer questions posed by home buyers and sellers – you can look me up and see what I’ve said.)

arvada: Between Denver and Boulder - Olde Town Arvada - 09/26/08 02:40 PM
The story of Arvada begins with the discovery of gold in 1850, and the rail lines that followed soon after. Trains of the Colorado Central Railroad passed through the Arvada village twice a day. Passengers could travel east to Denver or west into the mountains as far as Black Hawk and Railroad Street became a thriving business area. That street is now known as Grandview, and what a view it is. The quaint shops along Grandview sit at the top of a hill and as you stroll along her sidewalks you can see all the way to Pike’s Peak on

arvada: Between Denver and Boulder - Things to Do (Iris Farm) - 06/05/08 01:22 PM
Last weekend I got together with some friends and headed west from Arvada to Boulder to get some beautiful, sweet-scented additions for our gardens. The iris farm was our destination, it was about a 25 minute drive, and we had a great time. You get to wander the fields, poking your nose into all your favorites, as long as you want to. Then, you grab a digging fork and a bag and go to it. They'll help you dig if you need it. They have some fields with named varieties and some where you just get whatever happens to be there. They also

arvada: Between Denver and Boulder - Things to Do (Celestial Seasonings Tour) - 05/27/08 02:55 PM
Last week, my friend Dee and I were thinking about doing something just for fun. Preferably something easy and cheap. So we kicked around ideas - what would we do if we were tourists visiting here? What have we wanted to do and just not gotten around to? She suggested the Celestial Seasonings Tour - and it met all the criteria, so off we went. Easy - couldn't be easier. They're open for tours every day except major holidays. No reservations needed, just show up. Tours start every hour and while you wait, there's plenty to do. Sample teas, check out

arvada: Colorado Tornadoes - 05/24/08 10:45 AM
I never thought I'd have much to say about tornadoes, living as I do in Arvada, Colorado between Denver and Boulder. I've lived here 15 years, and only heard of small tornadoes way out east in the farm lands. But as you know if you've seen the news the past couple of days, we have six or seven tornadoes on Thursday, and one of them was a biggie! It went right through the town of Windsor, which is too close to the college town of Fort Collins for comfort. Afterward, thousands were without power, hundreds hurt and one killed. I never
