Featured in The New York Times: Why This Olde Town Arvada Home Represents the Best of Colorado Living

jackie • July 3, 2026

Every so often, a home comes along that tells a story.

I'm thrilled to share that my listing at 6014 Wadsworth Blvd in Arvada was recently featured in The New York Times' weekly "What You Get" real estate column, which compares homes at similar price points in different markets across the country. This week, readers were introduced to three homes located in Washington, D.C., Delaware, Ohio, and right here in Arvada, Colorado.

As someone who loves helping buyers and sellers throughout the Denver Metro area, it was incredibly exciting to see one of our local homes highlighted on a national stage.


Why This Home Stands Out

Built in 1921, this Craftsman bungalow beautifully balances historic character with thoughtful updates that support today's lifestyle.

Some of the features highlighted in the article include:

  • Original brass doorknobs and built-in cabinetry
  • A charming clawfoot soaking tub and porcelain pedestal sink
  • A kitchen with subway tile, butcher block countertops, and a pass-through window connecting the kitchen and dining area
  • Three inviting outdoor patios
  • Paid-off solar for energy-efficient living
  • A detached two-car garage with ADU potential
  • A rare one-third-acre lot with raised garden beds and a charming chicken coop

It's the kind of home that feels authentic the moment you step inside.


Why Olde Town Arvada Continues to Capture Attention

While the home itself is special, I believe its location is just as compelling.

Situated just one block north of Olde Town Arvada, this neighborhood offers something buyers consistently tell me they're looking for: walkability, community, and character.

From locally owned restaurants and coffee shops to summer festivals, boutique shopping, parks, and easy access to the G Line light rail, Olde Town has become one of the Denver metro area's most desirable places to call home.

It's easy to understand why people fall in love with the lifestyle.


What This Feature Says About Today's Buyers

One reason I think this home resonated is because it reflects many of the priorities I see every day with my clients.

Today's buyers aren't simply searching for more square footage. They're looking for homes with personality, outdoor living space, energy-efficient features, and neighborhoods where they can walk to dinner, enjoy community events, and feel connected to where they live.

This home checks all of those boxes.

More Than a Listing

Having one of my listings featured in The New York Times was certainly exciting, but what makes me happiest is seeing Arvada receive national attention.

Our community has so much to offer, from its historic neighborhoods and welcoming atmosphere to its incredible access to everything the Front Range has to offer. I hope this feature inspires more people to discover what so many of us already know: Arvada is a wonderful place to call home.

If you're thinking about buying or selling in Arvada or anywhere in the Denver Metro area, I'd love to help you navigate the market and find the home that fits your lifestyle.
