Located just
northwest of Denver, Arvada is the site of one of the first gold discoveries in
Colorado....a long Ralston Creek in 1850. Since then, the city has experienced
stable and steady residential and commercial growth. The Arvada Technical
Center, along with 30 to 50 smaller firms, supports the existing industrial
base. Still a little bit country, Arvada offers diversified housing ranging from
apartments and small homes to farms and country estates. Arvada has done an
excellent job of balancing both business and cultural growth by redeveloping its
downtown area, providing adequate and convenient shopping for its residents and
by building a beautiful Center for the Performing Arts which preserves the
flavor of the Old West.
Major employers in Arvada are COBE Cardiovascular, Mark VII Equipment, Inc.,
Denver Instrument Company, Sunstrand Fluid Handling, and Tarco, Inc.
Housing choices in Arvada are as diverse as the area itself. Affordable
homes can be found near many of the open spaces preserved by the community for
it's residents.
