Ralston Valley

Ralston Valley is a predominantly residential neighborhood that grants residents easy access to both outdoor recreation and Denver’s entertainment and culture. It’s known for its peaceful, family-friendly environment with many single-family homes alongside some multi-family units.

Recreation is a central element of life in Ralston Valley, with access to many nearby outdoor activities. The Ralston Creek Trail, for example, offers scenic walking and biking trails suitable for all skill levels.

Another popular amenity is the Apex Center, a recreational facility with indoor and outdoor pools and water features, two NHL ice rinks, a natural rock-climbing wall, three gymnasiums, and an indoor playground.

This Arvada neighborhood is known for its tranquil and idyllic streets with walking paths that help to foster community. With mostly family homes, nearly a quarter of Ralston Valley residents have children under 18. Perfect for young families looking for a safe neighborhood, this valley is prized for its low traffic and peaceful cul-de-sacs.

Surrounded by lush greenery and stunning mountain views, Ralston Valley can feel a world apart from nightlife and entertainment. However, those looking for a day (or night) out can find it easily. With close access to Olde Town Arvada and Downtown Golden, and a hop and a skip from both Denver and Boulder, Ralston Valley offers the best of both worlds.

Part of the Jefferson County Public Schools system, Ralston Valley is known for its quality public education. Van Arsdale Elementary and West Woods Elementary both rate highly compared to other schools in the state, while the middle school and high school – Drake Junior High and Ralston Valley Senior High – are likewise recognized for their academic rigor and excellence.
