Bennett provides a rustic atmosphere just outside Denver
When drivers trek along Colorado State Highway 36, Bennett’s main thoroughfare, they’re greeted by the Roggen Farmers Elevator Association’s towering grain facility and plenty of wide-open spaces. It’s a rural setting that could make people forget that Bennett is just 35 miles east of Denver. This is an area where buyers can find tranquility and a relatively affordable home, while still a stone’s throw from the big city. “It’s close enough to commute into the city for all your work or entertainment needs,” says Emily Burch, a Realtor with eXp Realty who lives nearby. “But you still get a small-town feel and affordability.”

Established and modern homes can offer value
Some of Bennett’s houses date back to the early 20th century. However, recently built options are available in subdivisions like Sky View and Bennett Village. “The amount of new construction is just booming,” says Burch, who credits space and affordability for the growth. Bennett’s assortment of bungalows, ranch-style homes and new traditional builds line a variety of quiet, sidewalk-lined streets. Lots often stretch from about one-tenth to one-fifth of an acre. Prices usually range between $290,000 and $600,000, which is cheaper on average than in Denver.
The Sky View subdivision is one example of modern housing that can be found within Bennett.

Bennett Days and other events bring the community together
Residents find time to come together through annual activities within Bennett. “It’s still got that small-town feel where they really promote community, and community activities and events.” One of the signature traditions is Bennett Days, which takes place at Trupp Park in September and includes food, live music and a parade. Mile High Farms hosts a Fall Festival in September and October, and visitors can explore corn mazes and a pumpkin patch. Mile High is an example of Bennett’s active agricultural scene. “We’ve got a lot of cattle, wheat and different grains,” Burch says. “But there are a lot of little hobby farms popping up.”
