Mile High Home Group – Welcome to Denver

Arvada is a good investment for a lot of buyers in today’s Denver real estate market, especially if you’re looking for long‑term stability with room for growth rather than a quick flip. When I look at Arvada with clients, I see a blend of solid home values, strong demand, and lifestyle that tends to age well through different market cycles in the Colorado housing market.

Why I Like Arvada as an Investment

Over my 15+ years in Denver real estate and thousands of transactions, Arvada has consistently shown up as one of those “quiet winners.” It’s typically more affordable than many central Denver neighborhoods, but you still get established streets, parks, and a real sense of community. Olde Town Arvada, the light rail into downtown, and quick access to I‑70 and the mountains all help keep demand strong from both owners and renters.

From an investment standpoint, I look at three things in Arvada:

• Steady buyer demand from local families and commuters who want more space than they can get in the city.
• A rental pool that includes Denver workers, Jeffco families, and even some remote workers who just want a walkable downtown and easy mountain access.
• A housing stock where smart updates (kitchens, baths, mechanicals) can meaningfully move value without overbuilding for the area.

How Arvada Compares to Other Suburbs

When clients ask me to compare Arvada to Littleton real estate and Highlands Ranch real estate, I usually frame it this way. Littleton leans a bit more “south suburb” with river and trail access, while Highlands Ranch is more master‑planned with HOAs, amenities, and very consistent schools. Arvada, on the other hand, gives you:

• A little more character and variety in neighborhoods than Highlands Ranch, with fewer large HOAs dictating every exterior choice.
• Better price points than many parts of central Denver, while still being close enough that you don’t feel disconnected from the city.

If you’re thinking long term, Arvada can be a smart place to buy a primary home now and later turn it into a rental, or to pick up a property that will track well with the broader Colorado housing market without being at the very top of the price curve.

Practical Tips If You’re Considering Arvada

If you’re looking at Arvada as an investment, here’s how I typically coach buyers:

• Focus on pockets near Olde Town, light rail, and strong Jeffco schools. Those areas tend to hold value best in softer markets.
• Pay close attention to HOA rules and dues if you’re planning to rent; some communities limit rentals or add extra approval steps.
• Underwrite conservatively on rents and appreciation so the numbers still work if the market stays flat for a couple of years.

My approach is always hands‑on and concierge‑level. I walk clients street‑by‑street through Arvada, Denver, Littleton, and Highlands Ranch, and I’m always going to be honest about not just the upside, but also the risks and the tradeoffs. For me, these relationships go far beyond a single transaction.
