Townhouses list between $393,000 for a two-bedroom and $540,000 for a four-bedroom in communities such as Woodcrest. In this subdivision, amenities include a pool, which is maintained along with the grounds through $280 monthly payments.

Apex adventures and trails to Ralston Valley
This neighborhood’s recreation centers and secluded trails stretch from Apex Center to Oak Park. Apex Recreation Center remains full all year round, from summers when poolgoers lounge in the lazy river to winters as ice skaters glide along the rink. “It’s state of the art, brand new – there’s nothing that you cannot find or do at the Apex,” says Joann Perito, a Broker with Avenues Unlimited, who holds over 26 years of experience selling Colorado real estate. Apex is a part of the North Jeffco Recreation District, which Perito says stays ahead of the trends, noting, “They were doing pickleball 10 years before anybody knew what it was.” Next door, skateboarders try new tricks along the Arvada Skate Park’s ramps, handrails and stairs. Oak Creek creates a platform for children to play, with its forest-themed playground including a climbing wall shaped like a camping tent. Ralston Creek runs through the park with the accompanying trail for bikers and joggers to trek the paved path, which stretches to Ralston Valley Park.
The Apex Rec Center in Arvada offers many activities such as swimming and rock climbing.
