Mid-century homes with easy access to Olde Town Arvada
Located 11 miles northwest of Denver, the community of Alta Vista is a vibrant and unique neighborhood developed by the Hoskinson Brothers in 1954. Known for its impressive inventory of mid-century modern homes, Alta Vista also features traditional architectural designs which have filled in the area's gaps over the years.

Other common characteristics here include modest profiles, brick construction and open floor plans. Some homes also feature covered patios or carports instead of garages.
