8 Reasons Why You Need to Get to Know West Arvada
Any time I can get closer to the mountains is a good day. I live in the heart of Denver near downtown, so when I get out to the front range foothills I’m a happy gal. The foothills that run north to south around the Denver Metro welcome you to our beautiful Rocky Mountains and are a popular area to live and play. West Arvada may be a suburb – but it’s not your typical suburb when you have views like this!
Where is Western Arvada
Go west…far west…so far west that a new term was created for this part of Arvada – Far-Vada! Redfin – a Seattle-based real estate company – ranked West Arvada No. 4 on its hottest neighborhoods to watch list for 2020. Its proximity to the mountains and wide-open spaces makes it a sought-after area to be. During the pandemic, the area seemed to double down and continued to grow and build new restaurants and businesses making it more than a place to live – but a place to visit and hang out.
West Arvada is 20 minutes away from Boulder, 20 to 25 minutes from downtown Denver and 15 to 20 minutes from downtown Golden. It’s the sweet spot of the Denver Metro for outdoor lovers. The first time I drove to the Candelas in Western Arvada I was a little shocked at how far out it was. I went past Golden and was practically in Boulder! But with remoteness comes great views and activities, and Western Arvada is one suburb that has a lot of outdoor adventure going on.
As I spent time this summer exploring the best patios in Arvada, I found myself gravitating west further and further. There I found that same community spirit that you find in Olde Town. In fact – driven by the need to entertain families, I think there are even more community activities in West Arvada than in Olde Town!
