Golf course community with modern homes
Centered around the Buffalo Run Golf Course in Commerce City, the Buffalo Run neighborhood offers residents a blend of suburban living and recreational amenities. Located approximately 15 miles northeast of downtown Denver, the area provides a peaceful atmosphere with easy access to both urban conveniences and outdoor destinations in the Rocky Mountains. “It’s a unique little community, thanks to the location and how new it is,” says Lawrence Childress, Broker Associate with eXp Realty and neighborhood resident. “You can’t get much more convenient without being in Denver itself, and the place is continuing to grow every year – there are several big, designated development areas that promise to bring even more.”
Homes with views of Buffalo Run Golf Course and the surrounding Rocky Mountains
The homes in Buffalo Run reflect the rapid growth Commerce City has seen in recent years, with most being built between 2004 and 2018. Styles are a mix of traditional and modern, with many modern ranch styles and new traditional two-story homes. “It’s a classic suburb in a lot of ways,” says Childress. “But it has a really ‘new’ feel to it, and most of the houses have a nice modern style to them.” Many homes back onto the golf course, providing views and direct access for the neighborhood’s golf enthusiasts. Prices typically range from just under $500,000 to $850,000 for single-family homes. Townhouses are also available, usually in the same styles as single-family homes, and range in price from $370,000 to $535,000.
Students prepare for a future in STEM fields at Prairie View High
School District 27J serves families in Buffalo Run. Elementary students typically begin at Turnberry Elementary School, move on to Otho E. Stuart Middle School, and finish up at Prairie View High School, all of which earn C-plus grades from Niche. Prairie View High’s STEM center is home to a number of labs and courses in fields such as sports medicine, culinary science, and more.
Golfing, hiking, fishing and more, all within reach
The neighborhood's centerpiece is the Buffalo Run Golf Course, an 18-hole championship course known for its well-maintained greens and panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains. The course also includes a clubhouse with the Bison Grill, where residents can enjoy casual dining. Nearby, the Second Creek Open Space offers trails for walking and biking. “You can get to all of the really popular outdoor destinations pretty easily from where you are in Commerce City,” says Childress. A few miles south, Pioneer Park is the largest park in Commerce City and features both a skate park and a water park. The Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge features additional trails, along with wildlife-watching opportunities and spots for fishing.
Shopping and dining in Commerce City continues to grow
Residents can shop and dine on Highway 85 and East 104th Avenue. Grocery stores like King Soopers and Walmart Supercenter cater to day-to-day needs. The Prairie Center Shopping Center in nearby Brighton features retailers like Target, Home Depot, and Kohl's, as well as dining options like Chili's and Chick-fil-A. Local restaurants in Commerce City include El Jardin Restaurant, a popular spot for Mexican cuisine, and the aforementioned Bison Grill – known for its green chili nachos and laidback atmosphere. “Things have really started to pop up in Commerce City, even though I can remember a time when it didn’t even have a King Soopers,” says Lawrence. “Now, it has just about everything you need – and you can get what it doesn’t have with a quick trip to the Reunion area, Aurora or Denver.”
Easy access to several major highways
Interstate 76, E-470 and U.S. Route 85 are all near Buffalo Run, allowing a straightforward commute to Denver and the surrounding metropolitan area. Those working downtown can expect the 15-mile commute to take 25 minutes. The RTD Bus System has several bus stops throughout the region, while those looking to make a longer trip can reach the Denver International Airport – just over 10 miles from the neighborhood – in about 15 minutes via E-470.
