North - Northwest Denver Description

The North and Northwest of suburban Denver is a rapidly growing area of modestly priced subdivisions comprised of communities such as Northglenn, Westminster, Thornton, Arvada, and Broomfield. The area is a broad section representing three counties, several school districts and a variety of residential subdivisions.

There is a broad selection of styles, sizes, ages, and prices of homes from homes built in the Arvada area over 50 years ago, to new home subdivisions and townhouse developments.

This section of metropolitan Denver is within convenient commuting distance of downtown Denver and new office and industrial areas on the northern edge of Denver. Large suburban shopping malls are available to the residents of the area as are medical facilities.
