Life in Arvada is the subject of several posts I've written on neighborhoods, merchants and stores, things to do, and other local info, with the hope of helping those trying to get a feel for life here.

I know how hard it can be to get a handle on the ins-and-outs of a smaller town like Arvada.  People seem to think about Denver or Boulder when moving to Colorado, but what about all those suburban towns and neighborhoods between the better-known cities? Arvada is one of those towns, and it's a sweet one.

So if you're new to the area between Denver and Boulder, or thinking of moving here, I hope you'll find the info in these posts informative and enlightening. I've gathered them here, and will keep adding links to this post as I get new ones written.

Enjoy!

(And if you have questions I can address, or if there's something you'd like to see more info on, let me know.)

I write posts focused on local businesses as a public service, and am not endorsing any business, nor do I have any sort of 'relationship' with them, other than as a raving consumer. My hope is to give people an idea of the 'flavor' of the community of Arvada, in case they're new here or considering a move here.

I am a residential real estate agent, and would love to assist you if you're considering buying or selling a home in the northwestern Denver suburbs.
