Bennett provides a rustic atmosphere just outside Denver
When drivers trek along Colorado State Highway 36, Bennett’s main thoroughfare, they’re greeted by the Roggen Farmers Elevator Association’s towering grain facility and plenty of wide-open spaces. It’s a rural setting that could make people forget that Bennett is just 35 miles east of Denver. This is an area where buyers can find tranquility and a relatively affordable home, while still a stone’s throw from the big city. “It’s close enough to commute into the city for all your work or entertainment needs,” says Emily Burch, a Realtor with eXp Realty who lives nearby. “But you still get a small-town feel and affordability.”
Established and modern homes can offer value
Some of Bennett’s houses date back to the early 20th century. However, recently built options are available in subdivisions like Sky View and Bennett Village. “The amount of new construction is just booming,” says Burch, who credits space and affordability for the growth. Bennett’s assortment of bungalows, ranch-style homes and new traditional builds line a variety of quiet, sidewalk-lined streets. Lots often stretch from about one-tenth to one-fifth of an acre. Prices usually range between $290,000 and $600,000, which is cheaper on average than in Denver.
Bennett School District campuses are close by
The community’s Bennett School District carries a C grade on Niche. The C-rated Bennett Elementary and C-minus-rated Bennett Intermediate cover kindergarten through fifth grade, and both have English Language Development courses for students whose second language is English. Bennett Middle maintains a C grade and counts a Gaming Club and a Sewing Club among its extracurricular options. The C-plus-rated Bennett High offers Career Technical Education programs in agriculture, health science and business. All of Bennett’s schools are next to each other.
Interstate 70 is a nearby asset
A section of Interstate 70 cuts through Bennett, providing a direct route to Denver. The UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital in Aurora is about 26 miles away on I-70. Denver International Airport, which provides nonstop flights to more than 200 destinations, is 30 miles away using I-70 and Expressway 470.
Restaurants and retail are within quick reach
As close as Bennett is to Denver for shopping, residents don’t have to leave for food and other amenities. Restaurants in the area include Happy Burrito Mexican Restaurant, whose breakfast burritos are popular. High Plains Diner has a prime rib special on Fridays and Saturdays. The salted caramel Oreo ice cream at nearby Unik Sweets is a hit. There’s also a King Soopers grocery store in Bennett, next to Tractor Supply Co. and down the road from Dollar General.
Whether trails or playgrounds, outdoor recreation is readily available
Bennett’s wide-open landscapes leave room for outdoor fun. The community has about 6 miles of trails and multiple parks. Centennial Park has a playground and a covered picnic area and is within walking distance for some residents. Trupp Park features a skate park. The Bennett Parks and Recreation department also has an indoor facility with multiple pools, a weight room, a gymnasium and a Pilates room. Access to the facility is available for a fee.
Bennett Days and other events bring the community together
Residents find time to come together through annual activities within Bennett. “It’s still got that small-town feel where they really promote community, and community activities and events.” One of the signature traditions is Bennett Days, which takes place at Trupp Park in September and includes food, live music and a parade. Mile High Farms hosts a Fall Festival in September and October, and visitors can explore corn mazes and a pumpkin patch. Mile High is an example of Bennett’s active agricultural scene. “We’ve got a lot of cattle, wheat and different grains,” Burch says. “But there are a lot of little hobby farms popping up.”
