Arvada Homes

Incorporated in 1904, the City of Arvada has been part of Colorado history and culture since many of the early mining pioneers set forth to the Rocky Mountains in the 1850’s. Today, Arvada is home to over 105,000 residents.

Arvada Real Estate has also been a cornerstone to the city’s architecture and image. Just as the other surrounding cities in the Denver metro area, Arvada homes have a distinct look that includes one-story brick homes and or ranch-style homes that have attracted home buyers for many years.

Located in Jefferson and Adams Counties, Arvada Real Estate has had increased value in most of the homes in the area over the last decade. The estimated house/condo value in 2005 held strong at $239,300 up from 174,800 in 2000, also, the median household income in 2005 was $61,353 (city-data.com).

Arvada is also located approximately 11 miles northwest of downtown Denver, making the commute around town easy, especially with Interstate 70 and Interstate 76 within the city limits.

Arvada homes and residents are entirely served by the Jefferson County Public School District, which is the largest school district in the state.

Arvada features two high schools, Arvada High School, and Arvada West High School, both of which enroll approximately 1600-1700 students annually.

A common theme among the cities around the Denver metro area is the public parks and recreation centers that are easily accessible to their residents. The City of Arvada is no exception, the city's parks are operated by the North Jeffco Park and Recreation Distict. Lutz fields encompass newly updated baseball/softball fields and there are over 10 soccer fields adjacent to the fields (Stenger Complex), all of which have helped increase the value to Arvada homes.

The Apex Center is a multi-functional recreation center that includes: two NHL regulation size ice rinks, 23,000 sq. ft. indoor water amusement park, and 3 full-sized gymnasiums.

The Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities was constructed for the cities appreciation for theater, music, and the arts. This mutli-cultural facility has exhibited hundreds of art shows, theatrical plays, job fairs, banquets, and wedding receptions for over 30 years. Dedicated in 1976, the Arvada Center has been an epicenter for the city’s cultural diversity.
