Longmont’s commercial and cultural strip
Stretching 3 miles along Main Street from Second Avenue to Ute Highway is Longmont’s Business District, which overflows with locally owned shops and restaurants. Established in the 1870s with the rest of Longmont, the business district is considered part of the larger downtown area and serves as the cultural and commercial heart of the city. “The area offers a blend of historic charm and modern amenities, making it a lively and attractive place for residents and visitors to explore,” says Realtor Eric Farran, owner of Real Broker LLC, who has two decades of experience.
Main Street’s unique shops and restaurants
The commercial corridor includes everything from novelty shops like Snarkington’s Gifts and Barbed Wire Books to clothing stores like Flower Wild and Ivy Rose. “Main Street features a variety of local boutiques, cafes and artisanal shops,” Farran says. “It’s a great spot for unique finds and a more personalized shopping experience.” There is also a diverse collection of locally owned restaurants that range from casual cafes to upscale bistros. Lucile’s Creole Café makes Cajun-inspired breakfast dishes, while Janie’s Café sticks to American homestyle skillets. Tortugas is a seafood restaurant with Caribbean flavors that pair with fresh island cocktails. Pumphouse Brewery has outdoor patio seating and The Roost comes with a rooftop bar – both are popular nighttime options.
Horizon Park Center is north of Downtown, off 21st Avenue, and has big box stores. There’s a King Soopers and Murdoch’s Ranch & Home Supply. Fast food options in the area include Popeye’s and Taco Bell. Another option for groceries is a Natural Grocers that’s located between 17th and 19th avenues.

Main Street is the neighborhood’s primary thoroughfare, with multiple modes of transportation offered. “Downtown Longmont is well-served by Regional Transportation District (RTD) bus routes, making it accessible for those using public transportation,” Farran says. “The area is also bike friendly, with several bike lanes and paths connecting to other parts of the city.” The Business District has a walk score of 85 out of 100, thanks in part to wide sidewalks and pedestrian-friendly infrastructure.
