Homes hugging the Front Range
Leyden Rock’s metropolitan district lies at the foothills of the Front Range, where outdoor adventures are scattered between over 17 miles of interconnected hiking trails, open green spaces and rolling fairways. For maximum accessibility, the neighborhood’s amenities are situated in the community’s center, with homes encircling them. “Leyden Rock has one of the best pool communities, clubhouses, and parks. They bring music in, and that is probably one of the most gregarious family communities with events,” says Broker Joann Perito with Avenues Unlimited, a Colorado native who has sold homes for over 26 years. “If you’re looking for a lifestyle in your community, you’ve got it – it’s not the walkability to a coffee shop or anything, you’ve got to drive for that – but what’s around there is a definite community and the most popular high school in Arvada Ralston Valley.”
There are endless outdoor possibilities in Leyden with the Front Range mountains being so close.
Leyden Rock residents bask in Colorado's natural beauty without feeling too removed from Denver.
