Housing
The available homes in Arvada are diverse. Many in the $200-300,000 price range are ranch homes. The lot sizes are good, higher than in many other parts of the nation. The homes themselves are often modest and humble in appearance. Many homes have very small young trees on the lots, a sign that the place was recently built, and that, sadly, the older trees were torn out for the convenience of the construction and replaced with baby saplings. Hence, it will be a thirty year wait before the trees on these lots even begin to have the energy of adult trees.
In the Arvada area, a 3 bedroom stately home made of brick in a contemporary style with a large foyer and staircase window having 2,671 feet runs for $464/$465,000. If you’re lucky, you can find one with good 30+ year old trees in the yard. As you know, trees are able to live for centuries, including more than 1000 years at a stretch. Sadly, many are hacked down or destroyed long before their natural time.
