Arvada Homes – Lake Arbor Neighborhood

Lake Arbor is one of the most popular established neighborhoods in Arvada, Colorado. The popularity is due mainly to the lake itself. Lake Arbor and its surrounding trails, grassy areas, playground, mountain views, and friendly folks hanging out to enjoy Colorado’s sunny, clear days makes the neighborhood something special. There’s also a public golf course by the same name.

There are over 1,000 homes in the Lake Arbor neighborhood. These range in style from ranch (one level), to bi-level, tri-level, and townhouses. They were built in the early 1970s.

Home values in Lake Arbor suffered the past couple of years due to a number of foreclosures, and whereas you could find the occasional house for less than $200,000 early this year, it’s rare to find anything less than $230,000 now.

Right now, there are fourteen homes for sale in Lake Arbor ranging from $169,000 (for a townhouse) to $335,000; six under contract ranging from $224,000 to $279,000, and twenty-three have sold in the past six months from $153,000 to $272,000.

Lake Arbor children attend school at Little Elementary , Moore Middle School, and Pomona High School.

Lake Arbor Golf Course is just north of the neighborhood. It has been recently renovated with a new sprinkler system which keeps the greens in great shape. My husband golfs there, and he says it’s a reasonably easy course, tee times aren’t too difficult to get, and fees are mid to low-range. Annual memberships are available, there are tournaments and clubs.

Lake Arbor has a voluntary homeowner’s association. They plan many fun activities for all to enjoy.

Arvada is located about midway between Denver and Boulder, in Jefferson County.  Lake Arbor is bordered on the south by 80th Avenue and on the north by 88th Avenue. Its western border is Wadsworth, and it extends about halfway to Sheridan.  There are many restaurants, stores, entertainment venues, and other lakes and parks nearby.  RTD buses make convenient stops nearby.

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.
