10 Reasons to Move to Arvada Colorado

[@stevevigil7387]

I live in old town I deep breathe in the air when I walk at sunset it is therapy for my lungs. We are building Candelas innovation park. The air is. Great there, great idea for the future of Arvada.

I lived in Arvada in the Lake Arbor neighborhood for 2 years. There are a ton of great coffee shops and restaurants there (Hunter Bay, La Dolce Vita, Sweet Bloom to name a few).

[@destinationdenvercolorado]

Lake Arbor is a great area!!

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

By Ward is fantastic especially Von Bibber Park

[@bluecollarbytes7267]

we've lived old town about 4 blocks east of old town downtown since 2000, and seen all the transformation. If you walk your dogs or just yourself, you'll likely have many say hi as you pass them.. And it seems to be younger generations, predominately. late teens thru 40/50s. Of course some of us oldies are still around.

[@destinationdenvercolorado]

Thank you so much for the perspective, I am such a huge fan of Olde Town and I get that same feeling whenever my family and I are there!

[@brianrejman7150]

My wife and I have been spending more time in Colorado lately, summer trips and snowboarding in the winter. We are thinking about making the move from Chicago and Arvada keeps coming up when we talk to locals. Your video was very informative, thanks for putting that together.

[@destinationdenvercolorado]

Thank you so much for watching! Yes, Arvada is really popular right now, and I love spending time there! If you ever want to pick someone’s brains, I’m happy to share any thoughts I have on your questions!

[@laurac8659]

We moved here from Houston 6 months ago, we love it!

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Arvada great suburb especially with the lightrail

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Short trips to Golden are easy

[@michaelb.3982]

Arvada is 15 minutes from Downtown Denver and the stadiums. and a 15 minute drive to the mountains..

I live out here in Ralston Valley. Wonderful area, very little in the way of crime and not many aggressive drivers or people out here. Fantastic walking/biking paths, beautiful scenery, just a few miles east of the foothills, and a few miles south of open country for a good eight to ten miles. Sure, the freeway area is quite crowded with homeless people and the traffic lights on 64th St are incredibly frustrating, especially at night, but I genuinely love it here.

[@destinationdenvercolorado]

I hear great things about that area and people seem to love it! I’m a huge fan of Arvada as a whole, it has so much to like. Thank you for watching!!

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Great area I'm by 64th and Ward and like your area

[@mikedamat]

Olde Town Arvada has one of the best downtowns I've ever been to in the US.

[@destinationdenvercolorado]

I’m happy to hear you enjoyed it, I think it’s one of the best as well!

[@JamalKhan-tr6iz]

Arvadas an amazing city!!

[@destinationdenvercolorado]

You have good taste, my friend, I love Arvada! Thank you so much for watching!!!

[@JamalKhan-tr6iz]

@@destinationdenvercolorado thank you!! That’s so sweet!! You’re so welcome!!!

[@tomneff7030]

Its Ralston Valley.....You forgot to mention Pamona H.S..Thats Arvada...

[@destinationdenvercolorado]

Great catch - I’ll fix that on future videos, thank you!

[@LogHAHAHAHA]

I think yes

[@destinationdenvercolorado]

I appreciate you watching!!

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Kite Flying fest at Stenger Soccer Field...Harvest Fest....

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

By Ward and further west is farm country and horse stables

[@michaelb.3982]

Kind of..but lots of people west of Ward Rd. Westwoods.. The whole Raltson Valley High school neighborhoods.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Parry S Pizza is new by the bus terminal

[@stevevigil7387]

Um By the way Rocky flats is great place to live there.

[@pablodavid081]

But schools have less 5 points qualifications

[@destinationdenvercolorado]

Would you mind elaborating on that please, I just want to make sure I understand what you mean?

[@LeeJames-l2e]

Graham Flats

[@michaelb.3982]

Good pictures..Most the pictures they show of the Denver area are terrible..Even the shots on Broncos games are bad..They could be so much better.

[@destinationdenvercolorado]

Thank you, the city has so much to see, I always want to show it off when I can!

[@frgpilot]

Um, Rocky Flats. No way I'd ever live there.

[@godwins8652]

That’s still inflated why is Colorado so exspensive?

[@destinationdenvercolorado]

Cost of living has definitely been a growing issue. Denver has a lot of people moving here and pushing costs higher.

[@lillbrittz]

But PLEASE DONT I HAVE LIVED HERE MY WHOLE LIFE SORRY AS A NATIVE WE ARE SO PRICEY NOW

[@destinationdenvercolorado]

I appreciate you watching and for your honesty!

[@lillbrittz]

@@destinationdenvercolorado it’s unfortunate that the prices went up. The prices never used to be this high people started moving here and it’s really pricey to live here. I have to live with my mom because of it.

[@diegogarcia7598]

Yeah ig I lived there for 8 years but now it is starting to have a higher crime rate

[@destinationdenvercolorado]

That's interesting to hear - are you seeing that more near Olde Town or the whole suburb?

[@cravinbob]

Arvada is contaminated by plutonium from Rocky Flats since 1952. (and Denver as well, also Broomfield where my dad lived and died at 73 from myleodisplastic syndrome) Soil tests at 600 picocuries from plutonium that was used there to make nuclear device triggers. (Nevada nuclear test site tests at 240 picocuries) Also ground water is polluted from the plant. Plutonium is airborne when windy out and breathing it will cause illness. Half life of plutonium is 24,000 years. It had been a government secret until the 1980s.

[@TheRiverweasel09]

@@destinationdenvercolorado My guess is it's mostly centered near 50th St and the I-70 interchange.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

​@@destinationdenvercoloradothinks it's more by Olde Town
