Rural living and a developing market in Mead
Rural living meets a modern housing market in Mead, a small, Weld County town less than 10 miles from downtown Longmont. Open fields and farmland separate the area’s housing developments, and most communities have homeowners association amenities, from sports facilities to outdoor pools. “Mead is a growing area with new developments and a small-town feel,” says Abby Renner, a local managing broker and owner of RE/MAX Nexus. “You can get lots of acreage and you’re less than a mile from the interstate.”
Mead is a historically agricultural town with a small town feel and close to other major cities in Colorado.

21st century architecture and fenced-in back yards
Brick modern traditional houses, craftsman builds and ranch-style homes line the streets of Mead’s subdivisions, and most were built in 1995 or later. With miles of open fields, the area is continuing to grow, with brand-new builds in neighborhoods like Highlands Preserve, Lakeside Canyon and Red Barn Meadows. Houses sit close together on 6,000-square feet to quarter-acre lots, and most have attached garages and fenced-in back yards.

One and two-bedroom condos in the Lake Ridge subdivision can go for $200,000 to $260,000.
