I had coffee with a former client, now friend of mine, who bought a house in Arvada recently.  The whole time we were looking at houses, negotiating, waiting (short sale), she was torn about leaving Lafayette.  Lafayette had been good to her and her family, and she really loved it. But they needed a shorter commute for her husband, hence the move.

What she thought she’d miss most about Lafayette was the life she’d built for her 2-year-old daughter. It is hard any time moms and dads move their kids, we never know how they’ll react.  But she didn’t need to worry about finding good things in Arvada.

We met for coffee yesterday, and she said, “Arvada is a giant playground!”  She said there are so many programs and opportunities for little kids, and there are even more for kids three and up.

I was so happy to hear they were finding it easy and fun to build a new life in this little town I like so much.

So, ‘Welcome to Arvada, Wendy!’

(Oh – I forgot to ask if you still have your chickens!)

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.
