Affordable Housing and Arvada
Housing prices and availability are hot topics in Arvada today and the City is taking a close look at various affordable housing options in our community. Many Arvadans don't make enough money to comfortably pay rent or a mortgage, even while working a full-time job. Long-time residents are finding it difficult to stay in their homes or downsize affordably.
Neighborhood character, design, and quality are important to us all. As Arvada continues to grow, how will we blend the old with the new and re-purpose what needs re-imagining? We want to hear from you!

We Need Different Housing Options
Our city needs to offer residents more than just single family housing. Single family homes cost more than other options, like condominiums, townhouses, and apartments. Not every family can afford a large single family home, and not everyone wants that type of house. If we can diversify our housing stock, I think more people would be able to find one that is affordable and better meets their needs.

Our schools seem to have overly large lots. Perhaps the city could build small homes or condos on those lots to sell or rent.
