One thing about Arvada – you can always tell a newbie when they mis-pronounce the name of our fair city.
I saw this in Wikipedia: (pronounced /ɑrˈvædə/)
Does that help?
I didn’t think so! LOL
The trouble comes with the pronounciation of the second ‘a’.
Some say it like ‘day’: Are-vay-duh. But that’s wrong.
Some say it like ‘paw’: Are-vaw-duh. But that’s wrong too.
Say it like ‘dad’: Are-vad-uh
Ding, ding, ding! Spot-on pronunciation of ‘Arvada’.
Now, read more about Arvada’s other neighborhoods, shops, and things to do or read more about Olde Town Arvada.
I write posts on real estate issues and local events in the Denver metro area, especially those *communities between Denver and Boulder, as a public service. My hope is to give people an idea of the ‘flavor’ of our community, in case they’re new or moving to the Denver area.
I am a residential real estate agent, happily helping folks buy a house or sell a house in the beautiful and friendly *suburbs northwest of Denver.
*Arvada, Broomfield, Lafayette, Louisville, Superior, Westminster; also Thornton, Golden, Wheat Ridge, Northglen, Lakewood
