Broadlands

A public golf course runs through the Broadlands neighborhood and Longs Peak Mountain stands tall to the west, giving this Broomfield suburb the laid-back perks of a golf community with steadfast mountain views. “Broadlands residents, golfers or not, benefit from living by a golf course: The neighborhood does all the landscaping,” says Sharon Lage, a Realtor at Keller Williams Realty Urban Elite with five years of experience in the Broomfield area.

“Broadlands is a unique neighborhood, where there are single family homes that feel like patio homes, as well as condos and town houses,” Lage says. On the east side, you can find 2,800- to 3,800-square-foot split-level ranch houses in the $825,000 to $950,000 price range. Throughout the community, there are also larger 3,500- to 5,000-square-foot Spanish revival and contemporary Craftsman homes for $1 million to $1.2 million. Sidewalks run along both sides of the residential roads, and homes come with attached garages and driveways, leaving the tree-lined streets empty for plenty of driving and walking room. The backs of many homes come with stone patios and lounge areas with grass and garden spaces and privacy fencing.

Students living in Broadlands can attend schools in the Adams 12 Five Star Schools public school district. Younger learners can go to Coyote Ridge Elementary School, which receives a B-plus grade on Niche and is reported by GreatSchools to have above state average test scores. Students can then move on to Westlake Middle School, also graded a B-plus on Niche and ranked among the Best Public Middle Schools in the state. Legacy High School can serve the area’s oldest school-aged children, a public STEM school that not only receives an A- grade on Niche but is also ranked in the top for Best College Prep Public High Schools in Colorado.

The 18-hole fairway of the Broadlands Golf Course encompasses most of the Broadlands neighborhood and is open to the public. Visiting golfers and locals can grab-and-go or dine in at the Grille, the golf course’s restaurant known for its barbeque menu options. Toward the center of the community is the Broadlands Club House, where residents can enjoy the outdoor pool and basketball court while their children can have fun on the well-kept playground. On the west side of the neighborhood is Broadlands Park West, where locals can have soccer and baseball practice, picnic under the pavilion, walk the paved trails and play on the playground.

To the north near the Broadlands Golf Course pro shop, residents can grocery shop, fill up on gas, keep up with appointments and grab a Jet’s Pizza pie to-go at the Safeway Shopping Center. “There are grocery stores and retail shops surrounding the neighborhood a mile or two in every direction,” Lage notes. “Some residents might go into Lafayette just five miles away for more grocery and dining options,” says RE/MAX of Boulder Realtor Janet Leap. Also in Lafayette are the WOW Children’s Museum and Waneka Lake, where people can play on the pickleball or basketball courts and kayak or swim in the water.

“Broadlands is centrally located to Boulder and Denver, about fifteen to twenty minutes southeast of Boulder and thirty minutes north of Denver,” Lage explains. You can drive five minutes to the north and hop on Colorado E-470, a major highway that circles the capital city. Or you can head five minutes east to merge onto Interstate 25, which runs north and south through Colorado and its fellow western states. Broadlands residents benefit from an easy-going way of life and convenient highway access, with the added bonus of mountainscapes all around.
