If you’re thinking of moving to Boulder County, but either aren’t interested in the high prices of Boulder real estate, or just want a “smaller town feel,” you might want to think about buying a home in Longmont Colorado. Longmont is only 15 to 25 minutes northwest of Boulder via highway 119 (“The Diagonal”). Longmont is large enough to have all the amenities a decent sized city has, but small enough to still have a small town feel. Longmont residents enjoy being within a half hour drive of Boulder, Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, Lyons, and Berthoud. In addition, Longmont has a very charming downtown area with a very nice “old town” feel.

Longmont housing varies widely as well, so home buyers can choose from turn of the century homes in old town longmont, to brand-new custom homes, and just about everything in between. At any given time, there are typically at least 1300 Longmont homes for sale, and prices range from the low $200,000’s for a single family starter home to just over a million dollars for a custom home, or a home with fantastic views of the mountains. Longmont CO real estate tends to be between 15% and 30% less expensive than Boulder real estate, and price per square foot is at about an average of $150. Many Longmont home buyers consider that difference in price well worth the drive. In fact, many Longmont residents find employment in Longmont, and the commute to Boulder becomes even less of a concern.

If you’re relocating to Longmont Colorado from out of town, you should be aware that there is a big difference between obtaining a buyer agent, and calling the listing agent because Colorado is a “buyer agency state.” In a nutshell, this means you can have one agent working exclusively for you and his/her job is to make sure you find the best home, at the lowest price, on the best terms for your needs. The best part about buyer agency is that it comes out of proceeds of the sale, so it doesn’t cost you anything, and you don’t have to worry about whether or not the listing agent represented your needs or the seller’s. Read more about it at our article entitled “What is buyer agency?.”

If Longmont seems too far removed for you, you can also consider buying a home in Louisville CO. Louisville homes are also lower in price than Boulder homes, and Louisville Colorado real estate is actually a little closer to Boulder than Longmont.
