A rural Denver suburb with easy access to downtown
On the northeastern outskirts of Denver, on the edge of the expansive farmlands of Northern Colorado, Lochbuie is a quiet residential pocket city just east of Brighton. Split between Weld and Adams counties, as of 2023, the population was around 8,300, according to the United States Census Bureau estimations. Since 2000, the population has more than tripled, with Weld County one of the fastest-growing counties in Colorado. “It’s a tiny community with easy access to the interstate,” says Scott Franks, a local broker with LIV Sotheby’s International Realty. “You can reach Downtown Denver within 30 minutes. 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.
