Why Longmont, Colorado Is One of the Front Range’s Smartest Moves

If you’re looking for a town with a mix of value, vibrancy, and convenience, Longmont, Colorado might be just what you’re searching for. With a population close to 95,000, it offers a similar size to Boulder—without Boulder’s price tag.

Longmont sits mostly in Boulder County, with some areas extending into Weld County. It offers easy commutes into Boulder, Denver, and beyond, making it a popular spot for professionals and families alike.

The city is served by the St. Vrain Valley School District, which includes highly rated public and private options. Be sure to explore school ratings neighborhood by neighborhood for the best fit.

Longmont’s lifestyle perks include a thriving brewery scene, a vibrant arts community, and one of the fastest internet speeds in the country—a huge plus for remote workers.

As of early 2025, the median home price is $515,000, significantly more affordable than nearby Boulder or Louisville. Yet Longmont still offers multi-million dollar homes, horse properties, and golf course living for those seeking more space and amenities.

With miles of trails, family-friendly neighborhoods, and great food, Longmont balances access, affordability, and quality of life.

Thinking about making the move? Let The Byrne Group show you what makes Longmont special.
