Arvada is just a short ride away from Denver, making it easy to access all the amenities and attractions of the city. For your next Denver adventure consider using the G Line train and arrive into Union Station in minutes.
It's easy to enjoy a night out on the town or catch a Broncos game without having to deal with the hustle and bustle of downtown living.
We love using the train it to meet our family for Rockies games! The kids love the excitement of the train ride followed up with all the Rockies Rookies activities at the stadium. Shout out to Dinger who makes all the games more fun!
Outdoor Recreation: Arvada is surrounded by a stunning natural landscape, with plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation. You can explore the trails at Arvada Reservoir, take a bike ride on the Ralston Creek Trail, or go hiking in the nearby Rocky Mountains.

Arvada has a reputation for being a family-friendly city, with great schools and plenty of community events and activities. Throw some frisbee golf at Bird's Nest or Johnny Roberts Disc Golf or let your dog play at West Arvada Dog Park. Test your biking skills out on the various trails that thread through the hills of northwest Arvada or stop and let the kids play at one of the many friendly playgrounds tucked into the neighborhoods. The city also boasts a low crime rate, making it a safe place to raise children.

Vibrant Downtown: Arvada's downtown area has undergone a revitalization in recent years, with new shops, restaurants, and entertainment options popping up all the time. We love the ongoing festivals along the walkable streets. Eating in Olde Town Arvada is always exciting! From vegan So Radish, to Smokin Fins, the restaurants in Arvada cater to everyone's palates. Meeting clients for coffee at Bluegrass Coffee and Bourbon or lunch at Lady Nomada is such a treat. A visit to Olde Town Arvada is not complete without letting the kids pick a toy at Super Zoom Bang Bang and a cone at Scrumptious.
