Buffalo Run offers suburban living in Commerce City
Buffalo Run is a suburban neighborhood in the northeast corner of Commerce City, just a few miles from Denver International Airport. Interstate 70 and the East 470 Tollway intersect on the north side of the neighborhood, giving commuters easy access to downtown Denver, about 20 miles away. This section of Commerce City has newer infrastructure, recently built homes and new parks, making it a sought-after location for homebuyers looking for a suburban subdivision. Despite its proximity to the airport, Realtor Arlene Castro says Buffalo Run is not a hectic area. “It’s a very nice community with a hometown feel,” says Castro, a Realtor at IGo Realty with over 20 years of experience. “It’s close to the wildlife refuge, and there’s a lot more open space here with little traffic.”
