Arvada Plaza Area
Suburban Neighborhood in Arvada, Colorado
Jefferson County 80002, 80033
Suburb defined by classic brick ranch styles
Cutting straight through the center of the Arvada Plaza Area, the light rail has helped to transform this neighborhood into an accessible home base for city commuters. “When they put the light rail through there, the real estate just soared,” says Sean Murphy, team leader of the Moxie Denver real estate team and host of the popular Somewhere In Colorado YouTube channel. “It still feels like the suburbs, but the convenience factor has also affected prices.” While single-family home prices usually range from around $450,000 to $600,000, those numbers have been steadily increasing, and some homeowners are opting to raise property values even more with modern upgrades. Modest brick ranch homes are the most common architecture style for single-family homes, while apartments typically boast new traditional facades with contemporary amenities.According to the CAP Index, Arvada Plaza Area receives a crime score of 5 out of a possible 10. This is slightly higher than the US national average crime score of 4.

A few blocks down from the community garden, Wolff Park provides a welcoming stop for skateboarders to test out their latest trick. Kids get a thrill from climbing on the life-size elephants carved into massive boulders, and the paved loop trail is a popular route for morning dog walks. At Jack B. Tomlinson Park to the south, springtime visitors are often rewarded with a parade of geese and goslings heading to their first swimming lesson in the lake. The park also features a treehouse-inspired playscape with a rope-climbing structure and plenty of open lawn space. Close by, the Harold D Lutz Sports Complex and Stenger Sports Complex provide ample opportunities for recreation on the trails, soccer fields, baseball diamonds, and other sporting facilities.Pathway academics in Jefferson County
