Kipling Meadows

Kipling Meadows, once known as Arvada Estates, offers independent living in a three-story apartment building at 7175 Kipling Street in Arvada, Colorado, within Jefferson County. The community was described as holding 120 units in 2022, and its residents make their homes in the apartments under one roof. The street address on Kipling Street falls within the 80004 zip code of Arvada, Colorado. Independent living is the care type offered at Kipling Meadows, with residents keeping their own apartments inside the Kipling Street building.

Shared spaces inside include a dining room and a card room on an upper floor, both of which have hosted group activities. As of April 2025, the interior had been newly remodeled and was clean throughout, with fresh flowers set out across the building. Group activities at Kipling Meadows have included a sing-along held in the dining room and a lively poker game among a group of players in the upstairs card room.

An exercise class led by the crew from the Arvada Fire Department has also been part of the activities at the community.
