Horse history
Northwest of the Denver suburb of Arvada at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains is a neighborhood that doesn’t forget its agricultural past. Living in Cameo Estates means being in an area with a rich horse history, even though suburban development has erased some open land. Many listings in Cameo Estates advertise a property with large lots where horses are allowed. “Jefferson County and the city of Arvada allow them through zoning,” says Ed Tomlinson, a broker and owner at Ed Tomlinson Real Estate Services with over 50 years of experience. They’re not allowed in more densely populated subdivisions. “It’s becoming fewer and far between since cities and counties don’t want them because neighbors complain about the flies and smells.”
Cameo Estates, a suburb of Arvada, has an agricultural history and houses with large lots.
Cameo Estates is an active horse community, so you'll find lots of horse lots here.

Equestrian center
Along Indiana Street are a couple of nods to the neighborhood’s history with horses. The Arvada Indoor Equestrian Center includes the Sundance School of Riding. The focus is on providing a relaxing and safe learning environment. The instruction covers not only riding etiquette but also caring for the animal. There are options for virtual lessons on their YouTube channel. Just up the road from the equestrian center, the Sweet S Ranch also provides riding lessons but offers the extra service of boarding, which the equestrian center does not do.

Horsing around of a different kind
Playing any sport in a park takes center stage if it's not horse-focused in Cameo Estates. Indoor and outdoor activities are covered at Pioneer Park, which has six baseball diamonds and the Simms Street Recreation Center next door, with indoor and outdoor pickleball courts and a gymnastics, dance and cheerleading studio. Four more baseball diamonds exist at Alkire Street's Youth Memorial Sports Complex. For those who prefer water over the dirt of a baseball diamond, the Apex Center has an indoor pool, two NHL-style ice rinks, a natural rock-climbing wall and three full-sized gyms. The Arvada Skatepark is next door. For those preferring a smaller space, Farmstead Park on Braun Way is true to its name, with playground equipment shaped like a barn and a dozer. A modest green space with small walking trails leads to adjoining neighborhoods.

A mix of suburban development and open land
While the western part of Arvada has a rich rural, agricultural past, it’s growing like many suburban areas. There are subdivisions with older homes, new construction and multiple-acre properties. In both situations, there are beautiful mountain views to the west. In the more tightly packed sections of the neighborhood, prices range from $600,000 to $800,000 for split-level homes built in the 1970s with three bedrooms and over 2,000 square feet. A modern Craftsman home with four bedrooms and over 3,500 square feet usually costs over $1 million. Ranch-style and colonial revival homes from the 1950s to the ‘70s are listed for over $1 million but are older. “Everything has developed in this area. All the new home building is over,” Tomlinson says.
Split-level homes on large lots are a popular home style in Cameo Estates.

New options for eating out
In 2023, a new food hall opened in a developing area of Western Arvada. Freedom Street Social Hall has diverse food and drink options, including Giordano’s, specializing in Chicago-style deep-dish pizza. There’s also a bubble tea vendor and Jeremiah’s Italian Ice for dessert. The owner of Lot Que has spent time on the barbecue circuit in competitions. The meat is served plain with a choice of sauces. However, some say the sauce is unnecessary because of the spice rubs and slow roasting. King Soopers is a nearby grocery option on Candelas Parkway. Starting in May, Grow Girl Organics Arvada Farm has a weekly farm stand on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. featuring local goods. Any time of year, seasonal produce can be shipped weekly to customers who sign up for the Community Supported Agriculture program.
