Pond and park-filled Denver subdivision

Meadowglen is a community rich in outdoor recreation and academic opportunities, from bike trails and parks to schools that focus on the arts. Residents enjoy a slower pace, surrounded by natural adventure offerings, including Standley Lake to the west, Pomona Lake within the neighborhood and Two Ponds National Wildlife Refuge to the south. Parks span the community, including the Arvada Volunteer Firefighters Park. This park reminds the community of the local firefighters' vital work to keep them safe during dry seasons, as most of the area’s fire risk hovers between three and six on the Risk Factor’s 10-point scale. “Meadowglen is probably one of the best-kept secrets as far as planned unit development,” says Joann Perito, a broker with Avenues Unlimited who grew up in the neighboring community of Lake Arbor. “They have absolutely amazing homes that were really aesthetically cool when they were getting built, have some neat floor plans and a lot of them back to the Meadowglen Pond – a lake-ish area there – that people utilize not just from Meadowglen but for other communities that are in there.”

Pomona Lake living and single-family homes

Homes comprise a large majority of Meadowglen’s landscape, giving homebuyers an assortment of housing styles from which to choose and budgeting options. “The HOA there is one of the most inexpensive, and they have a clubhouse, a pool, the tennis courts, and an actively engaged community where they still do planned events,” Perito says. While townhouses list between $375,000 for a two-bedroom and $458,000 for a three-bedroom, the ranch-style and bi-level homes list between $485,000 for a three-bedroom and $976,000 for a five-bedroom on the water. “Those Meadowglen homes that back to that pond can get more value just because of that location because of the path,” Perito says. Monthly homeowners association dues may range from $92 to $622 in the Sequoia community and go towards maintaining these lots, keeping sidewalks clear and upkeeping community amenities.

Webster Elementary starts through Pomona Arts

Meadowglen students flood the halls within Jeffco Public Schools each year. Kindergarteners through fifth graders attend Weber Elementary, which earns a Grade B from Niche, while middle schoolers attend Moore Middle School, a Niche B-minus graded school. This school will close at the end of the 2023 school year, and Pomona High School, where students start in ninth grade, will become a sixth through 12th grade school. Pomona holds a Grade B-minus from Niche and is renowned for its fine arts, with the Pomona Arts and Humanities (PAH) Program earning state recognition. After graduation, Niche reveals that Pomona High School graduates are most interested in attending Colorado State University and the University of Colorado Boulder.

Rainbow Trail unlocks playground adventures

The Dry Creek Bike Trail, which spans the entirety of the neighborhood, connects the Meadowglen pool to Wood Run Park. Wood Run welcomes kids with its brightly colored playground and wavy, double-sided green climbing wall. Rainbow Trail connects three parks: Rainbow East Park, Rainbow Park and Arvada Volunteer Fire Fighters Park. Children choose their playground adventures by visiting Rainbow East Park for a zoo-themed experience or Arvada Volunteer Fire Fighters Park to take the steering wheel on the pretend firetruck and coast down the bright red slide.

Local wildlife and Standley Lake

Covering 72 acres and serving as an important part of the local ecosystem, the Two Ponds National Wildlife Refuge attracts residents for scenic nature walks and birdwatching. Local wildlife, including muskrats and great blue herons, may appear along the trail during self-guided tours or ranger-led activities. At nearby Standley Lake, boaters and kayakers spend afternoons on the water, while anglers real in fish by the shore. Bikers maneuver the curving, gravel-packed trails, and campers spend a night under the stars at one of the designated campgrounds.

Market Square and local meals

Shoppers are within two miles of Market Square Shopping Center for meeting all their basic needs. They pick up groceries at King Soopers Marketplace and head next door to grab pet food at the neighboring Petco. Across 80th Avenue, locals browse the books, records and games at Black & Read and walk the aisles at Target. When deciding where to eat, residents decide between the tried-and-true fast food spots, including Chickfila and Firehouse Subs, or enjoy local offerings, such as freshly brewed and artfully crafted lattes in the warm coffeehouse vibes of Sweet Bloom Coffee Roasters. In this section south of Meadowglen, people looking to splurge for special occasions sit in the ambiance of The Butchery’s dimly lit steakhouse, where the seafood is always fresh and steaks are cooked to preference.

Drives down Wadsworth Boulevard to Denver

Cul-de-sacs branch inwards off the neighborhood’s main streets, resulting in much of the local traffic running along the western edge down Kipling Street, the southern stretch of 80th Avenue and the eastern edge of Wadsworth Boulevard. Since Wadsworth Boulevard is also state Route 121, residents appreciate easy access to Interstate 70 for more direct commutes into Denver, 14 miles away. Bus stops line Kipling Street and Wadsworth Boulevard, opening up travel opportunities to nearby shopping. Though Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport is less than six miles north, domestic and international air travelers who are not flying personal planes must drive 30 miles east to Denver International Airport. Meadowglen’s communities balance Colorado’s natural beauty with practicality for errand runs, mere minutes from Denver and Boulder’s downtowns with views of the Front Range.
