Mid-century homes with easy access to Olde Town Arvada
Located 11 miles northwest of Denver, the community of Alta Vista is a vibrant and unique neighborhood developed by the Hoskinson Brothers in 1954.

Mid-century modern homes with character
Alta Vista is known for its high concentration of mid-century modern style homes, many of which were built between 1950 and 1970. Giving off a sleek aesthetic, these homes often take the form of ranch-styles and feature low, flat roofs with clean straight-lines. Other common characteristics here include modest profiles, brick construction and open floor plans. Some homes also feature covered patios or carports instead of garages. Given their age, many houses have been updated or remodeled; and prices can range from $450,000 to $800,000, depending on the size of the renovation. For those looking for alternatives, prospective home buyers can also choose from condos or townhouses options.
