Prospect New Town in Longmont, Colorado

An example of Longmont Colorado real estate that might be for sale.

 Some of my clients have long considered Longmont as a lazy, rural town between Denver and Fort Collins. More recently, they think of it as a suburb of Boulder and even a Denver “ex-burb”. But. that’s those who don’t mind a longer commute to downtown Denver. Now, Longmont has a planned urban community, Prospect New Town, within its city limits.

All of a sudden sleepy Longmont has a hip, “town-center concept community” to rival Lowry and Stapleton in Denver. It’s diverse homes include stately Victorians, “Denver Squares, Brownstone row houses, lofts and even bungalows.
