Candlelight
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Candlelight sits north of W 58th Avenue at Arvada's southwest edge, in two adjoining subdivisions: Candlelight, 117 two-story, bi-level and ranch homes built from 1985 to 1993 on fifth- to third-acre lots, and Candlelight Valley, 90 homes from 1995 to 2001 on quarter- to half-acre lots, most with three-car garages and walk-out lower levels for 2,400 to 5,000 finished square feet. The 4,000 to 6,500 square foot estates line Hyatt Lake, a roughly 75-acre private reservoir in unincorporated Jefferson County with deeded shoreline rights, a private beach and a loop path of nearly 2 miles. HOA dues run about $592 a year and cover trash service. The Van Bibber Creek Trail passes within 2 miles to the south, 2.5 miles from Ward Road to Indiana Street with equestrian use permitted, and Alkire Street and W 64th Avenue reach I-70 in about 10 minutes.
