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!

Arvada is becoming one big mess. I say don't build more housing at all; or build single family homes that actually have a yard

Let The Market Decide
Just let the market decide what buyers and renters want and will/can pay.

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

How about Community Cottages?
I agree with Cindy about having small homes with gardens. One innovative idea that I have seen comes from the city of Shoreline WA. http://www.cottagecompany.com/Communities/Greenwood-Avenue-Cottages.aspx The idea is that it is a pocket neighborhood, with a small garden attached, but still with community space. This gives each homeowner some personal space while still fostering a sense of community.
