Maplewood / Maple Leaf
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Maplewood, with the Maple Leaf name attached to the townhome pocket at 7010 Simms Street, is an older subdivision around W 72nd Avenue and Pierson Street in west-central Arvada. The single-family homes went up from the late 1950s through the 1990s in ranch, raised-ranch, bi-level, tri-level, and two-story plans, most of them 1,500 to 3,100 finished square feet on lots between 8,000 square feet and a quarter acre, and there is no homeowners association. Mature trees line the streets, and the closest city parks are Alice Sweet Thomas Park at 7845 Simms Street, with four tennis courts, and Oak Park at 6562 Oak Street, where the Ralston Creek Trail passes through. Simms Street and W 72nd Avenue handle most trips, with Wadsworth Boulevard and I-70 each about 10 minutes away.
