Rainbow Ridge residents within 5 miles of everything
Residents of Rainbow Ridge live minutes away from all of Arvada’s amenities. “There’s a really great downtown area with a local feel called Olde Town Arvada,” says Realtor Amanda Larson, who has worked there for about six years. Olde Town offers a selection of independent businesses, including The Bluegrass Coffee & Bourbon Lounge, and several retail stores within 5 miles of the neighborhood. Students attend Jefferson County School District, which earns an A-minus from Niche. After school, kids can play at the Rainbow Ridge Playground, next to the Stenger Sports Complex.

Newer homes and condos in Rainbow Ridge
Sidewalks line the residential streets of Rainbow Ridge, opening up to wide driveways that lead to two-car garages. Grassy lawns are decorated with small bushes, and several trees are planted in front yards. Many of the homes were built in the 2000s, such as traditional houses with mixed media exteriors and Craftsman influences.

Prices typically fall between $775,000 and $900,000, although larger properties start at $1.2 million. Monthly homeowners' association fees start around $60. There are also some one-bedroom condos in the northern part of the neighborhood, which tend to run between $350,000 and $360,000, while two-bedroom units can cost more than $425,000, with monthly fees around $200.

Protecting homes during extreme cold
Because the city of Arvada experiences severe cold during the winter months, it offers residents advice on how to deal with frozen pipes. Homeowners should open cabinet doors to circulate warmer air around the pipes and let cold water drip from faucets. If a pipe freezes, it can safely be thawed using a hair dryer, portable space heater, or hot towels.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
