Suburb defined by classic brick ranch styles
Cutting straight through the center of the Arvada Plaza Area, the light rail has helped to transform this neighborhood into an accessible home base for city commuters. “When they put the light rail through there, the real estate just soared,” says Sean Murphy, team leader of the Moxie Denver real estate team and host of the popular Somewhere In Colorado YouTube channel. “It still feels like the suburbs, but the convenience factor has also affected prices.” While single-family home prices usually range from around $450,000 to $600,000, those numbers have been steadily increasing, and some homeowners are opting to raise property values even more with modern upgrades. Modest brick ranch homes are the most common architecture style for single-family homes, while apartments typically boast new traditional facades with contemporary amenities.
According to the CAP Index, Arvada Plaza Area receives a crime score of 5 out of a possible 10. This is slightly higher than the US national average crime score of 4.
