Sold Price: $1,070,000

I recently was able to help friends and past clients get into this large 6b home in the Broadlands on a spacious lot.

If you’re looking in the Broomfield area the Broadlands should be on your list. It’s a golf course community with a great course if you’re a golfer. Otherwise, the neighborhood is roughly 30 yrs old with mature trees and more character than the newer subdivisions. You also get a lot more for your $$ in Broomfield by going just a little east of Boulder County…

Reach out to discuss further if this is something that lines up with what you’re looking for yourself!!

Broomfield, situated in close proximity to both Denver and Boulder, has a lot to give families as well as young singles and couples. Parks and open space recreational areas are abundant throughout town, and the quality of area schools delights parents. With all it has to offer, Broomfield is an excellent pick for those looking for a long-term living space.

Overview of Broomfield

Broomfield is just a short hop away from Boulder and all its abundant events and nightlife, and those curious about concerts or football games in nearby Denver need only hop on US-36 for a quick drive. People who want green spaces to walk the dog or have a family picnic can leave the car keys at home–Broomfield’s outstanding parks contain miles of trails and secluded areas to explore. And for weekend outings, the mountains are as close as they appear from residents’ west-facing windows.

Prospective homebuyers have quite a bit to look forward to in Broomfield as well. The entire Denver Metro area has grown substantially, even in recent decades, and newcomers continue to make their way to the area. People wanting more space than the urban centers of Denver and Boulder have available find their way to the surrounding areas quickly. In Broomfield’s case, prices are extremely reasonable for the accommodations on hand, an advantage for both families looking for a permanent place to settle down as well as investors with an eye on the future.

Why Relocate to Broomfield, CO

Naturally, Broomfield’s prime location makes it attractive for more than just its views, although they are a worthy factor. If you’re still looking around the Denver area, here are some more considerations that could tilt you toward Broomfield as your home:

Education — Denver area schools have some of the finest educators in the country, and Broomfield, with its schools coming from top-notch districts like Boulder Valley, Adams 12 Five Star, and Jefferson County, parents can give their children a fine education right in their own neighborhoods.

Jobs — Boulder and Denver are major hubs for employment, and a short commute to either city makes Broomfield exceptional for workers in both areas. However, Broomfield is also home to several major corporations, so those seeking a new occupation along with a new home can find prime opportunities in their own backyards.

Cost of Living — Broomfield homes, like many in the Front Range, are exceptional for being affordably priced while still being spacious and varied in design. Homebuyers can find enough space for the kids, the dogs, and the garage workshop while still staying within a budget, and couples and singles can find townhomes, condominiums, and houses that give room to breathe without being too much.

Diversions — Residents are a stone’s throw away from the fine dining experiences downtown Denver has to offer and are a short hop from Boulder’s many fine restaurants and breweries for a night of casual fun. Flatirons Mall lies within Broomfield city limits, providing shoppers with a pleasurable experience close to home. Also, the eateries on the mall ground cover a wide range of family-friendly and formal date night offerings close to home.

Climate — The Denver area’s famous 300 days of sun a year can be felt here. Residents get to enjoy the beautiful weather in any of the open spaces if they’re not enjoying the close proximity of the mountains.

If you’re relocating to Colorado, Broomfield has what you’re looking for. When you come for a visit, you’ll find yourself searching for a place to stay.

A quiet neighborhood with large single family homes that offer plenty of space for the family, Redleaf gives those who are willing to invest in a home here the combination of close proximity to two of Colorado’s major urban centers and walking distance from the open spaces and fresh air that draws so many to the Centennial State.

Redleaf Overview

The neighborhood’s location along a major road will please those wishing to see some nightlife in Denver or Boulder. The area is close enough to the highway to provide residents a quick route to central Denver as well as downtown Boulder and the Flatirons Mall, but far enough away to promise blissful peace and quiet.

Within the neighborhood itself, residents note with pleasure that much of Redleaf overlooks Broomfield Commons Park. This easy distance gives dog owners and outdoor lovers a chance to breathe some fresh air in the morning or after work on the park’s extensive and well-maintained trail system. Dog owners especially will appreciate the area’s Dog Park along Redleaf’s southwestern border.

Tennis players, swimmers, and parents looking for good after-school activities alike will appreciate the Paul Derda Recreation Center on the eastern side of the park, also well within walking distance of homes in the neighborhood.

Broomfield has quality public schools, and parents of young children who choose Redleaf as their residence will be thrilled to realize the number of excellent elementary schools in the immediate vicinity. This along with the nearby park and recreation center will delight parents who want as many safe opportunities as possible for their children to get engaged.

Market Trends

Many of the homes in Redleaf are multi-bed and -bath, single-family homes. They are frequently spacious to allow room for adults, children, and pets to work and play comfortably.

The spaciousness along with Redleaf’s other advantages are fairly obvious to those who want to buy or sell a house here. The median price of homes sold in the past six months was $395,000, and the current median for-sale price is $385,000.

In great news for those looking at a house in Redleaf as both a home and an investment, all 13 active listings from the past six months sold. Houses put on the market are quickly and eagerly snapped up, and those that do see a “For Sale” sign in the yard are rarely, if ever, vacant while transitioning between owners.

Given the neighborhood’s access to parks, recreation, schools, and city centers, it’s no surprise that potential buyers are willing to make an investment in Redleaf. Whether you’re interested in moving right away or are just browsing, Redleaf homes are worth your attention–either way, you might find yourself falling in love at first sight.

Broomfield’s quiet, idyllic setting removed from but still close to the population centers of Denver and Boulder also give parents peace of mind, and the number of parks, trails, and recreation facilities throughout the town offer numerous outlets for the whole family to have fun.

Best Neighborhoods in Broomfield for Kids

There are, however, a few neighborhoods that stand out more than most to parents looking to buy in the Broomfield area. These are three of the top neighborhoods families and those who plan to have them might want to consider looking:

1. Redleaf

This neighborhood shares two of its borders with Broomfield Commons Park, one of the largest in the county. The trail network throughout the park ensures that the whole family has space to explore and take a walk or bike ride. The amount of green space gives plenty of time to relax and even have picnic, followed by a rousing game of catch or Frisbee. The park is also home to the Paul Derda Recreation Center, which offers parents plenty of opportunities to get their kids engaged in healthy activities with others their own ages.

The close proximity of three quality elementary schools will give parents peace of mind about their kids’ education in the formative years, and the spacious nature of homes in the neighborhood itself will allow a young family plenty of room to grow.

2. Broadlands

With its green spaces scattered throughout, the Broadlands neighborhood gives children room to explore and play with their friends if they want to wander safely beyond the boundaries of their backyards. Having McKay Swimming Pool in range gives parents a chance to let their kids practice their backstroke or dog-paddling in a supervised setting on a sunny day.

Coyote Ridge Elementary School also sits comfortably within Broadlands territory, and those who live in the eastern part of the neighborhood are just a short hop away from Meridian Elementary. The Bal Swan Children’s Center just across Sheridan Boulevard also gives parents a chance to let their children play in a safe but fun setting.

3. McKay Landing

With the winning combination of McKay Lake, McKay Swimming Pool, several elementary schools within walking distance, and affordable homes for their parents, families who land in McKay might feel like they’ve hit the neighborhood jackpot. The spacious homes and easy walking to so many places where children can play and learn resound well with parents.

McKay Landing, Redleaf, and Broadlands all give places for children to explore both with and without their parents. While the whole town of Broomfield gets an enthusiastic seal of approval from Colorado families, these three neighborhoods in particular attract parents who want the best for themselves and their children.

Prices are currently falling a bit compared to last year. This means you have the chance to snap up a bargain. Since the market is very stable other than short term up and down fluctuations, prices will soon rise again. Your home equity value will probably make modest gains over time. However, it is unlikely to suffer sudden plunges, either. The stability of Broomfield is underlined by the large amounts of single family homes and many married couples in the city’s real estate market.

Broomfield MLS Home Sales: Trends This Year

Broomfield, Colorado is on a mild upswing after a price slump that took prices down 4.6% over the year before. The coming of summer revived the market, however, and average sale prices are now 1.8% higher than they were a year ago. Prices are still low enough to be affordable but their rising trend shows that you will witness your home equity value increase in the future.

Despite a real estate market that isn’t as flashy and dramatic in its gains as Denver or Boulder, Broomfield has some other pluses, too. Violent crime rates are substantially below the state’s average. Household, family, and per capita income are all above average for Colorado, showing how robust the local economy is. And the worth of owner-occupied houses is nearly 14% higher than the rest of the state.

The best selling regions in Broomfield are defined not so much by neighborhoods as by Zip codes. If you’re seeking for active real estate markets to buy in, your best current bets are 80233, 80640, and 80603. These areas have seen real estate prices climb by 1.1% to 2% in recent days.

80601 and 80602 are very popular Zip codes, too, with active markets, but prices have been falling despite the overall upward trend. The first three zip codes are good for equity seekers, the last two for bargain hunters (although the bargains still cost in the $250,000 to $350,000 range on average).

What does housing reveal about Broomfield?

Broomfield’s reputation as a stable, economically vigorous suburb of Denver is confirmed by statistics about home ownership in the city.  The place is more of a bedroom community than a trendy area. This is illuminated by the fact that 83.2% of home sales here are single family houses. Condos represent only a sliver of sales at 8.2%, less than a tenth of home sales.

63.5% of the houses in Broomfield are owned by married couples. This contrasts sharply with Boulder’s plurality of singles. 23% of Broomfield’s inhabitants are single. Houses with 4 bedrooms or more are selling best right now, while those with 2 or less are seeing their prices drop somewhat.

Price stability, good economics in Bloomfield

With mild growth in Bloomfield home prices following a small slump, now is a good time to buy in the city to take advantage of affordable prices. The city’s economy is strong, with plenty of technology related growth. Stable or slowly rising home equity values are made more attractive by the income opportunities in the city. Low crime and high incomes add to the lure of investing here.

The Broadlands in Broomfield Overview

This residential community is most well-known for the golf course it supports: the award-winning Broadlands Golf Course. Opened in 1999, the course is perfectly maintained and offers some wide fairways, plenty of practicing greens, and an assortment of resort-like amenities.

Aside from golf, The Broadlands offers a true sense of community. Mostly populated with affluent residents, the neighborhood is always working to provide better schools, parks, and recreational opportunities for both kids and adults alike.

Adding to the sense of community within The Broadlands are 23 different sub-neighborhoods, each offering its own unique advantages and style. There’s no doubt you’ll find a community that will fit your personality and lifestyle.

Market Trends in The Broadlands Community

If it’s a single-family home you’re looking for (as opposed to the multitude of condos or townhouses in the area), then there are specific neighborhoods in which to look, including: The Reserve, The Enclave, Belle Terre, Broadlands West, and others. In these divisions, you’ll find smaller luxury homes for anywhere between $350,000 and $600,000.

There have been 23 homes sold in The Broadlands over the past six months. Studies project that in the next nine months, all available houses in the area will be off the market. But don’t worry–there will always be more.

The median sale price for a house is currently $420,000 and the median listing price is $474,500. This shows that there’s a little wiggle room with the properties in The Broadlands, but not too much. Perhaps it’s the status of living in this community, or the beauty of the homes themselves, but sellers are hesitant to lower the prices on these houses very much–or at all–if they can help it.

For singles, couples, and families alike, there are plenty of homes, condos and townhouses available within the 23 unique sub-neighborhoods of The Broadlands to choose from. Chances are, you’ll find the perfect fit.
