McKay Landing is an appealing neighborhood in an attractive setting

Tucked away among the scenic expanse of Broomfield County, McKay Landing is a sought-after neighborhood where community living and natural beauty collide. “Broomfield’s location is a big deal in itself. It’s a strategic spot for those who work in Boulder but can’t afford to live there,” says Amanda Shaver, Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. Nearby Interstate 25 and U.S. Route 7 offer convenient commutes to Boulder or downtown Denver.

Craftsman-style homes stand out on tree-filled streets

Upon entering, you’re greeted by streets lined with hackberry trees, each season draping them in a different hue, from spring’s vibrant blossoms to autumn’s fiery foliage. “The area is fairly new for Broomfield but still has all the established foliage that people look for in a community,” Shaver says. “The neighborhood feels like an Eastern coastal town, without the coast. It almost gives off a Denver cottage feel. Modern Craftsman-style homes with covered front porches provide a place for neighbors to gather, Shaver says. Home prices range from around $450,000 to about $800,000, but some larger properties can list for more than $1 million. Condos and townhouses can also be found. Prices range from around $350,000 to about $550,000.

Students can attend well-rated schools

The neighborhood is served by Adams 12 Five Star Schools, a district that earns a B-plus from Niche. Students can attend Meridian Elementary School, rated A-minus; Westlake Middle School rated B-plus; and Legacy High School, also rated A-minus.

Parks provide an array of activities

With greenery all around, nearby McKay Lake Park and Open Lands is a neighborhood gem. The Root House Studio Group carefully crafted the almost 45-acre site into a nature-based recreation area that reflects the regional landscape. Here, dog owners can stroll around the 1.5-mile loop, while watercraft enthusiasts can glide along the sparkling lake. The open space also offers a nature-based fitness course, a playground and the notable Broomfield Bike Park, which spans over 4 acres and features dirt trails and varying terrain for riders of all abilities. Quail Creek Park is within walking distance in the heart of the neighborhood and features baseball and soccer fields.

Plenty of stores and restaurants nearby

Residents enjoy easy access to shopping and dining. “McKay Landing is an extremely walkable area. You can easily run to King Scoopers for a quick grocery trip,” Shaver says. The Shops at Quail Creek is another convenient neighborhood destination. Big-box retailers can be found at Orchard Town Center just a few miles away. Visitors can also watch movies there. Nearby Denver Premium Outlets offers an array of brands. Local restaurants and popular chains can be found scattered among the various shopping centers. La Distileria at the Shops at Quail Creek is is a popular stop that serves up Mexican favorites and delicious margaritas. Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar is a well-known chain that offers food and drinks in a relaxing atmosphere.
