HISTORIC OLDE TOWN ARVADA HOMES See all photos and details for Historic Olde Town Arvada.   There is a charming feel to this area that makes it stand out like no other, perhaps because of the local small business owners who are living the American Dream.  Olde Town Arvada Homes are becoming very desirable as the area grows and new businesses come in.    AFFORDABLE HISTORIC HOMES                                   These mostly ranch style homes are generally      going to range between 900 and 2500 square feet.  The oldest of the  homes were built in the early 1920's while most were constructed in  the mid 1950's right after WWII to offer affordable housing to  returning service men and their families.  They have between two and  four bedrooms and one to three bathrooms.  Most have garage...

Do you love dining out and trying new restaurants in Olde Town Arvada? Time for you to add DiCicco's to the top of your, Olde Town Arvada restaurant list! DiCicco's is located right in the heart of Olde, at 57th and Olde Wadsworth Blvd. DiCicco's is a family owned restaurant with an excellent atmosphere! In 1956, the first DiCicco's restaurant was opened in Califronia, where there are now 13 locations. Colorado is now the only other state, outside of California, with DiCicco's locations.

Namaste India Restaurant 5545 Wadsworth Blvd, Unit G, Arvada CO 80002 South of the Olde Mann Theater (if you're a local, you'll know what I mean), south of the RTD Park & Ride, and north of Einstein's Bagels 303-940-2517 I'm starting to crave their perfectly-spiced food just thinking about it!  I've been there twice and had trouble each time choosing an entre, even though I don't eat meat so am somewhat limited.  I chose Malai Kofta - described in the menu as, "Minced vegetable mixed with spices in form of cheese balls and cooked with cream, nuts and raisins."  The description can't do it justice, though. I know there's a certain 'other' restaurant people usually think of going to when they want Middle Eastern food, but I'm telling you - this one is better! One thing I really like is th...

The historic neighborhoods surrounding Olde Town Arvada are very popular.  People who grew up there want to come back, people who are looking for a small-town 'mainstreet' feel want to move right in. Yet, there's no officially-designated Olde Town Arvada neighborhood.   Olde Town Arvada generally refers to the quaint local businesses along Wadsworth Blvd ('Old Wadsworth') south of 58th Ave., and along the east/west streets Grant Pl., 57th Ave., and Grandview. People like living within walking distance of Olde Town Arvada so they can attend the many community events such as Ladies-Only Sample Tour, A Chocolate Affair, Christmas in Olde Town, Blues 'N' BBQ, and summer concerts and movies, plus the Olde Town Square's fountain on hot summer days. Of course, there would be a difference of op...

The Festival Playhouse in Olde Town Arvada - offering community theater since the mid-1970s.  Four decades and still going, what a charming way to spend an evening. A 160-seat venue is just the place if you want some 'community' in your theater. It's true that Arvada also boasts the well-known Arvada Center, and that's a wonderful venue too.  But visiting Olde Town Arvada, and relaxing in the comfort of The Festival Playhouse is special in a way that you really shouldn't miss. Olde Town Arvada has so much to offer, it's easy to blow right past the Festival Playhouse on your way to enjoy a hand-crafted beer, local wine, a great meal, local bands, or to buy a special gift.  You may have spotted the Festival Playhouse and thought to yourself, "We should take in a play there some time." I'm...

Celebrate St. Patrick's Day in Olde Town Arvada on March 16, 2013.  From noon until 6 pm Grandview Ave. between Webster and Olde Wadsworth will be flush with music, food, arts & crafts booths, family entertainment, Irish Spirit contest, beer & wine. Come join the fun!  Parking is still free in Olde Town Arvada. I do wish we could get more info on these events, like what music will be playing, and when?  What food will be available (will we be able to find anything the toddler-aged grandsons will eat)?  What is the Irish Spirit contest?  But, like most 'street fair' type events, it's just a matter of showing up and seeing what's going on. I'm writing this on February 26, and it's snowing and 29 degrees out.  I don't know what the weather will be like 2-1/2 weeks from now, but I feel pret...
