Suburban Neighborhood in Arvada, Colorado

From 1960s ranch-style homes to Craftsman builds with vertical panel siding
Much of the housing options in Allendale are 1960s ranch-style homes with two-car garages that often take up a large portion of the home’s frontage. Many of these ranch-style homes sell for between $400,000 and $600,000. There are also quite a few split-level and bi-level homes here, which go for between $500,000 and $700,000, as well as new Craftsman builds that offer a sleek look with vertical panel siding that start at $700,000. Allendale also has modern three-story town house options, like those in the SaBell development, which offer residents community living with much less yard maintenance than a traditional home. Here, neighbors can form tight bonds by meeting for walks or play dates at the complex’s private park and playground. These town houses go for between $450,000 and $650,000. As far as median price, Allendale is on the lower end of the Arvada market at $580,000.From long walks at Allendale Park to play dates at Bridgeside Park
“No matter where you are, you’re going to have access to commercial areas and well-maintained parks,” Lynch says. Allendale Park is the best place for a private walk among the cherry blossoms in the spring. The park’s green space is crisscrossed by walking paths that lead to classic and colorful playgrounds. Wedged between residential streets, kids can easily walk to the park from their homes, and parents don’t have to worry about their children playing near high-traffic roads. To the north, Bridgeside Park provides the perfect place for an after-school play date, as it’s located right next to Vanderhoof Elementary. At Stenger Sports Complex, locals will see young athletes on their way to a local league game on one of the many soccer and baseball fields. Traversed by the concrete paved Van Bibber Creek Trail, this is also a popular area for a brisk walk or an afternoon jog.High marks for Jefferson County School District
Residents in Allendale attend schools in the Jefferson County School District. For kindergarten through 5th grade, students may attend Fremont Elementary School before moving on to Drake Junior High School. Both Fremont Elementary and Drake Junior High earned an A-minus grade from Niche. Students then would complete ninth through 12th grade at Arvada West High School, which focuses on career and technical education opportunities with a career pathways program. Electives like theater, wood shop and music theory help students hone in on their interests, and there are more than 20 clubs to participate in outside the classroom, including a rock climbing club, an aviation club and a book club. Arvada West High School earned a B-plus grade from Niche.Stenger Sports Complex is home to community events
For more than 40 years, residents from all over Arvada have gathered at the Stenger Sports Complex on the Fourth of July for an explosive fireworks presentation. And in the spring, the park echoes with the excited squeals of children as they watch their kites take flight at the Arvada Kite Festival.Regional Transportation District with convenient stops on border of the neighborhood
For getting around the Denver Metropolitan Area, the Regional Transportation District has a bus system with stops all around the neighborhood’s borders. Arvada Ridge Station, 1 mile south of Allendale, is the closest station for the Regional Transportation District’s rail station. For those looking to commute into downtown, it's an 11-mile drive from Allendale. Denver International Airport is a 29-mile drive from the neighborhood, while the nearest hospital, Lutheran Medical Center, is 3 miles away.Variety of dining options with the convenience of nearby King Soopers
For residents who want to live close to a grocery store, Allendale might be for them. No matter which corner of this neighborhood, locals are just a few minutes away — and sometimes within walking distance — of a shopping center anchored by King Soopers. While the plaza on the southeast end of the community offers a plethora of fast-casual dining options, the one on the northwest side brings a taste of Nashville heat to the Centennial State with family-owned Blazing Bird. Visitors tickle their tastebuds with the signature Loaded Bird spicy chicken sandwich, then put out the fire with a creamy Oreo milkshake. In the mornings, locals can grab a warm, fresh-glazed donut from Donut Time, then spend lunchtime savoring authentic Chinese dishes like Kung Pao chicken at the nearby Tea Garden.
