From ranch-style and split-levels to larger farmhouse-influenced homes
“North of Ralston, you’ll see a slight decrease in home prices because you’re moving farther away from the coveted Olde Town area,” says Sean Murphy, team leader of the Moxie Denver team and host of the popular Somewhere in Colorado YouTube channel. Split-level homes are prevalent in Lamar Heights and sell for between $450,000 and $650,000. Homebuyers will also find a collection of ranch-style houses scattered throughout that go for between $350,000 and $650,000, with some of the remodeled versions going for north of $700,000. “This area feels much more suburban, and you’re going to get much more for your money here.” There are a few pockets with larger properties that sport farmhouse-style influences like double front gables and contrasting trim against pale siding, and these lots often have space left over for patios and colorful gardens. These homes, which sometimes boast four bedrooms and almost 3,000 square feet of living space, go for between $750,000 and $950,000.

Farther south, Secrest Park attracts residents in summer for its large outdoor pool with swooping slides and on-site recreation center, which offers fitness classes and personal training sessions. Athletes can dare to dream of playing for the Avalanche on the inline hockey rink, while an extended lawn is perfect for a picnic or a game of fetch.

Lamar Heights is VERY bike able, and walkable. we have LOTS of trails that are cemented and lighted at nite. Also, bus transit stations are so abundant sometimes there are 3 in one block. Also, the transit station is centrally located in downtown OLDE TOWNE ARVADA, and parks are almost in every block. The properties with ACREAGE are becoming fewer because developers are after them. If you find one, GRAB IT. Those prices are $900,000 + tho,,so have the ability financially. You won't regret it.
