Broomfield County is one of Colorado’s newer and smaller counties (city & county combined) situated between Denver and Boulder, bordered by both metropolitan areas. This region has urban/suburban character: modern residential developments, business parks, good infrastructure and amenities. Housing is primarily suburban single-family homes, townhomes and sometimes condos. Because of its strong location and desirability, home prices are high—median sale prices are often in the US$600,000-800,000 range for typical family homes, and building new homes on available lots would incur significant lot cost plus construction cost (likely US$300–400+ per sq ft). The area is urban/suburban, very close to the largest city Denver (a short drive) and also convenient to Boulder. For those seeking new suburban living with urban access, this is ideal—but affordability is challenging.
