Where is Denver' next hot hood? It is a question I get everyday and my answer for awhile now has been, Olde Town Arvada and more specifically, Alta Vista. Alta Vista is a neighborhood just north of Olde Town Arvada and is known for it's mid century mod style of homes and affordability. It is exploding right now and a great time to get in while there are still homes that need updating and not everyone has found it yet.
Alta Vista has the rough borders of Balsam to Garrison and Ralston to Oberon. It sits on the north side of the newly redeveloped Ralston-Central Park which is one of the nicest parks in all of Denver. The park features a splash pad in the summer, lots of open space along the creek,covered picnic pavilion, sand volleyball courts, bridges, walking trails and more. It is about a half a mile to the heart of Olde Town Arvada and the future light rail line. And so close to I-70, it makes an easy commute to Downtown and the mountains.
The homes range from mid century modern ranches to your more typical 50's ranch with a basement and even a few tri-level's mixed in. We are starting to see a few updated homes show up but mostly it is made up of homes that need updating in the $200-300,000 range. Homes move very quickly and there is a lot of demand, but if you can snag one, you should do very well down the road.
I recently listed this completely original tri level on Brentwood. It is set to close next month and the potential for it is limitless. If you are looking for a home like this in a booming area, definitely let me know. To read more about this house, click here.
Anywhere around Olde Town Arvada is doing well too. If you haven't been to Olde Town recently, it is worth a visit. Lots of great restaurants, shops, breweries and more. The light rail line is set to open next year and there is certainly more on the way. To read about the revitalization of Olde Town Arvada, click here.
