Trailside Houses for Sale

Trailside, located in the Westminster/Arvada area northwest of Denver, is equidistant between Denver and Boulder, making it convenient for commuting. The neighborhood is aptly named for its numerous bike and walking trails, including a paved trail that follows the Little Dry Creek Tributary through the center of Trailside, connecting to Nottingham Park and Trailside Park. Nottingham Park spans 7 acres and features a pavilion, picnic tables, multi-use turf fields, and a playground, while the larger 10-acre Trailside Park offers similar amenities. Nearby Standley Lake, a 3,000-acre reservoir, provides opportunities for paddleboarding, kayaking, and fishing, and serves as Westminster's primary drinking water source. Pomona Lake, closer and smaller, is stocked with fish like largemouth bass and catfish. The neighborhood's residential streets are characterized by winding roads and cul-de-sacs, with homes primarily built in the late 1970s and early 1980s. These include ranch-style and bi-level homes with three to four bedrooms, as well as condos and townhouses. Trailside boasts a throwback dining experience at Sano’s Italian Kitchen and regional chain Snarf’s Sandwiches. Grocery needs are met by nearby King Soopers and Safeway. The Jefferson County School District, ranked among the top 20 in Colorado, serves the area, with schools like Weber Elementary and Pomona High School. Public transportation includes the B light rail line, about five miles away, connecting to downtown Denver, and multiple RTD bus stops on 88th Avenue. The neighborhood is safer than the national average, contributing to its appeal for families and commuters alike.
