Frederick CO real estate is booming. New houses everywhere. Big new houses. Why is that? Frederick Clark, the early landowner whose name was given to the old mining camp that became a city in 1907, would be impressed. But still, how does one explain this explosive growth...

Perhaps we should say big, new, moderately priced houses. Does that help? To give you an idea, the average price of homes for sale as this was written in early 2007 was $253K. Compare that with Boulder. Compare it with Longmont. The range covers smaller, older homes for under $100K, and goes up to $600-700K mansions. The area has character, variety, and vitality.
