The City of Arvada

Arvada, Colorado, a charming first-ring suburb of Denver, combines small-town charm with modern conveniences. Home to approximately 108,530 residents, it boasts a rich history dating back to 1870, quiet tree-lined neighborhoods, and a thriving business community. Covering nearly 23,000 acres, Arvada offers easy access to Denver and the region via three nearby interstates and Denver International Airport.

The city features an extensive trail system connecting Denver and the Rocky Mountain foothills, alongside thousands of acres of parks and open spaces. Residents enjoy proximity to world-class institutions like the University of Colorado, Colorado School of Mines, and Red Rocks Community College's Arvada campus. Highlights include a historic downtown listed on the National Register of Historic Places, offering eclectic dining, shopping, and a future light rail stop.
