Arapahoe County Reviews
Rating 4.38 out of 5 8 reviews
The county here is safe, with a semi-rural atmosphere. The suburban spread is growing very quickly due to the mass population increase here in Colorado, so although I'd appreciate retail being built a lot closer to the eastern outskirts of Aurora than somewhere such as GVR or Southlands, I do believe it will happen soon enough. The houses are nicely built and the HOA is very prompt on getting things orderly. The neighbors are friendly and diverse. There is an outdoor pool in each neighborhood with lifeguards and my neighborhood, Adonea (in Arapahoe), has movie nights and food trucks in the park where the pool is every Friday. Anywhere you want to go besides the park you would most likely need to drive a car to get there, especially the city itself. I wish the mailbox would be put at the front of the house, but it's set at the edge of the block, which isn't terrible, but it's still less convenient. I've walked home from school many times, in the daytime and at night, without any issue.
I have being living in the community of Arapahoe with my parents for the past 6 yrs and love it . Since then there has been a lot of young families that have moved into the neighborhood The neighborhood has great restaurants, stores, parks , recreation center, and other activities in close proximity. The neighborhood is safe, family oriented, the people are very friendly. I would recommend the neighborhood to friends and family.
Everything is good here. There are a lot of stores and restaurants around. I like the environment in this county. Most of the people are really nice and sweet. It's really safe if kids want to play outside the house.
