'Amazing Arvada' is the name of the souvenir map I picked up while strolling the historic Olde Town Arvada. It's a lot of fun to look at, even for people who've lived here as long as I have.  If you're new or considering moving here, you'd probably enjoy having one too. It gives you a real feel for what our small town has to offer.

Situated between Denver and Boulder, Colorado, is our friendly community, packed full of entertainment, restaurants, recreation, and history. People who live here, tend to love it here.  Lots of parks, trails, community events, lakes, and history. I'd be surprised if you can't find something new to do right in town.

If you'd like a copy of the souvenir map, pick one up at almost any merchant in Olde Town. If you're not a local (yet!), just shoot me an email or phone call and I'll mail one off to you. Moving into a new community is about more than the house you choose and the the neighborhood and schools it brings into your life. When you move to Arvada you get so much more!

Of course, Arvada welcomes visitors from the nearby communities too. It's just a few minutes' drive from Westminster, Broomfield, Thornton, Northglenn, Golden, Wheat Ridge and Lakewood. Even Denverites might enjoy an afternoon away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

If you're interested in buying a house in Arvada, you can find everything from Victorians near Olde Town to new construction in pocket neighborhoods sprinkled throughout the area. The newest neighborhoods are west and north, there are neighborhoods built in the 50's and 60's nearer the heart, and the 70's in between.  See my post on the neighborhoods of Lake Arbor, Pomona Lakes, Five Parks, Wyndham Park, and more to come.

If you're interested in homes between Denver and Boulder, such as the lovely town of Arvada, Golden, Broomfield, Westminster, Lafayette, or Thornton, a general rule is that properties get more expensive as you get closer to Denver or Boulder, and closer to the mountains (west of Denver). You can get a house for less money if you buy further east, which is also nearer the airport. So if you were looking at a similar house in Thornton it would likely cost less than in Arvada, but it would cost more in Golden. Arvada's Olde Town has Victorian-era homes, the neighborhoods get newer as you move away from city center.
