Frederick is a rural, Carbon Valley Community located around 28 miles from downtown Denver. The area is growing rapidly, with new developments in the works and a steadily increasing population. Residents are within roughly half an hour of Denver, Boulder and Front Range hiking.
The residential streets of Frederick are quiet and lined with well-maintained sidewalks, providing walkability to pocket parks and, for some residents, public schools. “Frederick is part of what locals call the larger Carbon Valley community that also includes Firestone and Dacono,” says Jenny Hart, a local Realtor with Keller Williams. “It’s a close-knit area where people know their neighbors. We have a rural feel but are just about 30 minutes from Denver, Fort Collins and Boulder, so it’s a great area for those want a quieter community with easy access to the city.”
Near the center of town, many bungalows and small ranch-style homes were built between 1900 and 1930, while newer builds make up most of the surrounding subdivisions. Modern traditional homes, craftsman-style builds and Colonial Revivals are common, and most houses sit on lots of a quarter-acre or less, with a few multi-acre lots amid the area’s farmland. “A lot of people move to Frederick for the affordability,” says Shonta Rea, a real estate agent with Home Smart Realty who lives in town. “You can get more square footage and land for your buck here compared to suburbs closer to downtown Denver.” Single-family homes range from the low $200,000s to around $1.5 million dollars, with price tags increasing with square footage and property size. Manufactured homes range from the low $100,000 to the mid $300,000, while townhouses start in the upper $100,000s and reach the upper $400,000s.
Frederick is home to around 18,000 residents, according to U.S. Census Bureau data, a number that has more than doubled since 2010. With this growth, numerous new subdivisions have been developed over the past decade, with recent additions including Carriage Hills, Silverstone and Hidden Creek.
The town is served by the highly rated St. Vrain Valley School District, with most students starting at Thunder Valley K-8. Frederick High School partners with the University of Colorado Denver for its concurrent enrollment courses and offers a Biomedical Science Academy for students interested in pursuing a career path in the healthcare industry. Nearby charter and private schools include Carbon Valley Academy, Firestone Charter Academy and Longmont Christian School.
While Frederick is largely residential, small businesses can be found throughout the area, with Fifth Street serving as the primary commercial corridor. During a trip out, you can:
Open green spaces and pocket parks are in most of the community's subdivisions, often including playgrounds, picnic tables and athletic facilities. Golfers can practice their swing at the Saddleback Golf Course or the Bella Rosa Golf Course. The 126-acre Frederick Recreation Area is one of the area’s most popular spots for enjoying the outdoors, with about 3 miles of trails surrounding the Milavec Reservoir. The snow-capped Rocky Mountains can be seen from many corners of Frederick, and you can reach some of the range’s Boulder-area hiking trails in around 40 minutes. “Wherever you are in town, you have beautiful views,” Rea says. “And easy access to Rocky Mountain National Park is a huge plus.”
Many locals commute to Denver or Boulder for work, with Interstate 25 and state Highway 52 providing easy access. Denver International Airport is roughly 28 miles southeast. Health systems, education and manufacturing are some of the most prominent industries in the area, with employers such as the St. Vrain Valley School District, Production Control Services and Sparton Medical Systems of Colorado.
