About 4 miles north of Commerce City, Monaco is a residential area between railroad tracks to both its east and west. Many homes are a short walk from the area’s surrounding retail and restaurants. Multiple commuter routes make it easy to access the larger Denver metro area. “It’s a good neighborhood. Pretty peaceful and quiet. It’s close to Reunion and the newer side of Commerce City,” says Realtor Omar Robles with Keller Williams Realty, who has about 5 years of experience.

Traveling around Monaco by foot, bus or car
Monaco’s dense streets and sidewalks lend to a semi-walkable community. “There are a couple of stores nearby, but mostly you have to drive around,” Robles says. Commuters with vehicles can access Colorado state Highway 2 and use it to travel north or south, with downtown Denver about 11 miles away. U.S. Route 6, known as Vasquez Boulevard, is less than a mile west. Additionally, Regional Transportation District (RTD) bus services have stops along Kearney Street, Monaco Street, and 72nd and 76th avenues. The Denver International Airport is roughly 17 miles east.
The Commerce City & 72nd Station in Dupont has access to buses and the light rail.
