Many people move to the area for its affordability and quiet atmosphere while still close to the city.”
Lochbuie was incorporated in 1974 and, in its early days, consisted of a 12-acre manufactured homes subdivision before growth skyrocketed in the early 2000s. Most residents commute to Denver or nearby Adams County towns for work, with major industries including aviation, manufacturing and healthcare.
