Quiet community surrounded by nature
When it comes to private lakeside living, few places can hold a candle to Candlelight’s luxurious homes and nearby outdoor amenities. Located in southwest Arvada, only 13 miles from Denver, the neighborhood’s proximity to natural land and hiking trails are what make the area stand out compared to the surrounding suburban streets. Hyatt Lake’s recreational opportunities are only accessible to members of the community, giving the area an air of privacy and quality.
The Candlelight neighborhood in Arvada sits next to Hyatt lake and has mountain views.
Hyatt Lake is the focal point of Candlelight, though only members can use its fishing docks.

Lavish homes with a lake view
In Candlelight, luxury comes in the form of spacious properties that offer both lakeside and mountain views. Most of these multi-million-dollar homes feature modern architecture with stone accents, pointed roofs and two different siding materials. There are also a few Victorian-style houses with elegant multicolor brickwork and steep front gables. These contemporary estates can come with an acreage of land to themselves, range from 4,000 to 6,500 square feet and cost anywhere between $1.5 and $2.4 million. Similarly styled Craftsman homes that are only 2,400 square feet with less land can get as low as $990,000 – most of these are found lined together along residential streets right by Hyatt Lake. “The homes within this subdivision have a right to the lake within its deed when they get purchased, but no one else can use it,” says Alison Maltese, an Arvada resident and Realtor with LIV Sotheby’s International Realty. For alternative housing options, there are a handful of modern townhouses close to Ward Road that have two to three bedrooms for $650,000 to $700,000.

Arvada’s open spaces and sports fields
While Hyatt Lake is a prominent feature of the neighborhood, the private membership limits who can fish or use the swimming docks. For more accessible recreational options, residents can turn to the Van Bibber Open Space Park, which makes up the neighborhood's entire southern boundary. Van Bibber is a sprawling greenspace of wetlands and wildlife habitats with an observation deck that lets visitors gaze upon the bird communities and enjoy the mountain vista. The Van Bibber Creek Trail meanders throughout the area, connecting to smaller trails that let hikers, bikers and horseback riders explore every inch of the open space. “The trails are easy-walking and flat,” Maltese affirms. Following the trail east can take people to Stenger Sports Complex, less than a mile outside the neighborhood. The sports complex has everything from tennis courts and soccer fields to a playground for little ones. On top of the tournaments and practices that get held here, there are multiple events that take place at Stenger, including car shows and a Fourth of July fireworks display.

Getting educated in Jeffco public schools
There are a handful of schools from the Jeffco School District that children living in Candlelight can attend.

Commuting through Candlelight
When traveling in and out of Candlelight, most people will use its main thoroughfare – West 58th Avenue – since it runs east to west through the area.
