Property Management
Arvada gives rental property owners something genuinely rare: a city with historic walkable character in Olde Town, master-planned suburban neighborhoods like Candelas and Leyden Rock, and direct RTD G-Line rail access to downtown Denver — all inside one of Jefferson County's most consistently in-demand rental markets. Tenants here range from scientists and engineers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory to young professionals riding the commuter rail into Union Station to families planting roots near top-rated Jeffco schools, and that diversity of demand holds up across nearly every property type. Bergan & Company has managed Arvada investment properties through every market cycle since 1961, and we bring three generations of hands-on local expertise to work for you from the very first conversation.

Arvada consistently outperforms expectations as a rental market. It draws dual-income couples, young professionals, established families, and relocating executives — tenants who tend to stay longer, pay on time, and treat a property as a home rather than a waypoint. That track record is not luck. It is the product of a city with real structural advantages: a diversified employment base, excellent schools, meaningful transit connections, and a downtown district that actually functions like one.
On the employer side, Coors Brewing in neighboring Golden is one of the region's largest single-site employers and sits just minutes from Arvada's western edge. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory draws scientists, engineers, and researchers who typically rent at the higher end of the market and value proximity to both the mountains and the metro. Closer to home, the commercial corridor along Wadsworth Boulevard and the Olde Town district itself support a steady stream of service, retail, and hospitality workers who need quality rental housing within reach of their jobs. That employment diversity means rental demand in Arvada does not hinge on any single industry — a meaningful cushion when any one sector softens.
Transit access deepens that demand further. The RTD G-Line commuter rail connects Olde Town Arvada Station and Arvada Ridge Station to Union Station in downtown Denver, putting tenants within easy reach of the entire metro without a daily car commute. For landlords, properties within reasonable distance of those stations attract a broader and often stronger pool of applicants. If you want to understand exactly where your property sits in today's market, a free rental analysis from our team gives you a clear, honest starting point.
The historic core of the city, Olde Town is walkable, charming, and genuinely popular with renters who want an urban neighborhood feel without paying Denver prices. Condos, townhomes, and smaller single-family homes dominate the housing stock. Restaurants like The Arvada Tavern and Yak & Yeti, the Arvada Center for the Arts, weekend farmers markets, and direct G-Line access make this area highly attractive to younger professionals and couples. Tenant turnover tends to be lower here because renters fall in love with the neighborhood itself — a real advantage for owners focused on long-term hold.
Arvada's luxury flagship, Candelas is a master-planned community in the northwest corner of the city featuring resort-style pools, clubhouses, and sweeping Front Range views. Homes here are newer, larger, and priced accordingly. Renters in Candelas typically have strong financials and are seeking a suburban lifestyle upgrade — often relocating professionals or families who have not yet decided whether to purchase in the area. Landlords benefit from a tenant profile that maps well onto careful property stewardship. Be aware that Candelas has an active HOA with its own rental guidelines; knowing those rules before you list is essential.
Perched on the northwest ridge with dramatic mountain views and energy-efficient newer construction, Leyden Rock appeals to environmentally conscious tenants and families who want modern finishes without the downtown premium. Proximity to Highway 93 makes the Golden and Boulder corridors accessible, broadening the appeal to NREL employees and tech workers. For landlords, these homes typically require less near-term maintenance and attract tenants who take genuine pride in where they live.
Two Creeks is the bread-and-butter Arvada rental market: three- and four-bedroom homes with yards, cul-de-sacs, and straightforward access to I-70 and US-36. Families are the dominant tenant here, drawn by proximity to Jefferson County schools — including some of the district's highest-rated elementary campuses. Long tenancies and stable demand make Two Creeks a reliable performer for buy-and-hold investors who want predictability over excitement.
An established, mature neighborhood anchored by the Ralston Creek Trail — a paved multi-use path that connects to the broader Jefferson County trail network — Ralston Creek attracts renters who value walkability for both everyday errands and outdoor recreation. Tenants here skew slightly older and tend to be rooted, community-minded, and low-drama. Properties in this area often carry classic curb appeal that photographs well and stands out in a listing.
Knowing what moves a qualified Arvada tenant to submit an application — rather than keep scrolling — gives owners a real competitive edge. Based on what we see across this market consistently, renters here prioritize a specific set of features:

Arvada sits entirely within Jefferson County, which shapes the property tax environment for rental owners. Jefferson County's assessor re-evaluates residential properties on a regular cycle, and those adjustments can affect your net return — something worth factoring into long-run financial projections rather than discovering after the fact. If your property falls within a homeowners association, HOA rules around rentals, lease term minimums, and tenant approval processes vary significantly by community. Candelas is the most prominent example, but other neighborhoods have their own requirements. Understanding those rules before you list — not after a lease is signed — protects you from costly surprises.
Colorado's landlord-tenant framework also carries real obligations around habitability, security deposit handling, and required disclosures. These are not areas where approximation is safe. A professional property manager stays current on these requirements so your property remains compliant and disputes stay rare. Our property management services are built around keeping you on the right side of those obligations without requiring you to become an expert yourself.
Seasonally, Colorado's climate is no joke for rental properties. Roof wear from freeze-thaw cycles, ice damming, furnace performance, and sprinkler blow-out deadlines are recurring realities for Arvada landlords. Properties that fall behind on seasonal maintenance accumulate deferred costs quickly and create friction with tenants. Our 24/7 emergency maintenance line and vetted contractor network mean issues get addressed promptly — before small problems become expensive ones and before tenants start looking elsewhere.
We have always believed that property owners deserve to know exactly what they are paying before they sign anything. Our fee structure has no fine print and no surprises:

Bergan & Company has been managing Denver-area rental properties since 1961 — founded by Wally Johnson, continued by Jay Bergan, and now led by the third generation in Cody Bergan. That continuity is not just a good story. It means we have managed Arvada properties through oil busts and tech booms, through housing crashes and record appreciation years. We know what holds up and what does not, in both properties and tenant relationships.
Our performance reflects that depth of experience. We maintain a 95% occupancy rate across our managed portfolio, a 1% delinquency rate, and fill vacancies in an average of two to three weeks. Every prospective tenant we approve has been credit-checked, background-checked, and verified to earn at least three times the monthly rent. We meet every applicant in person — no self-guided showings, no anonymous walk-throughs. That standard produces tenants who perform, and it shows in our numbers.
When it is time to market your property, we list on 40-plus rental platforms, use professional photography, and show seven days a week. Your vacancy gets in front of the widest possible pool of qualified renters, as quickly as possible. You can browse our current Arvada rentals to see exactly how we present and position properties in this market.

Client Reviews
“This company was amazing! We had so many questions and curiosities and they were nothing but patient and responsive in a quick timely manner. I definitely recommend them. The process getting the lease was super speedy and they were very communicative about the house and the process of getting it.”

“Since 2019 Bergen and Company have managed our SFR in Denver and as long as they wish to manage, forever they will be our property manager. As an out of state landlord having worked with many residentail property managers in states CA, NV, NC SC, & CO, Bergen & Company ranks as the best in my experience. Lot of daily problems to resolve to be an effective PM; keeping the property fully occupied with quality tenants and dealing with property upkeep, etc etc. Without drama or adding burden to the owner with overcommunication, Bergen quietly runs the show in an efficient manner. The staff is responsible and ultra communicative when contacted from office support Kendra, to maintenence up to owner Cody Bergen. Can't speak highly enough of their top quality service. Buildium runs their front facing property management software for owners and internally. GL, income statement, balance sheet etc. No waiting for a bare bones summary statement to know what happened last month with your property, real time reports always ready to download and review. Excellent service, the best accounting reporting, quality staff, competent ownership defines Bergen and Co. They take the stress and worry out of managing your real asset.”

“My roommates and I are moving out of our college dorm and were looking to rent a house all together. As young college kids we had no prior expereience in navigating rental properties. Our leasing agent, Laurel Zeman, was a dream throughout this whole process. Many emails back and forth, phone calls to answer my million questions, and willingness to explain the whole process, and pretty much hold my hand throughout renting a house for the first time. She made things really easy to understand and worked with our tricky move in date. I have always heard bad things about leasing houses and the painful process of getting one but that was not my experience. Things moved super quickly and efficiently. Now my roommates are I are so excited to move in. Huge thank you to Laurel and Bergan& CO”
