Interlocken offers commerce, outdoor spaces and easy commuter access
Most people think Broomfield is just a bedroom community, but the Interlocken neighborhood defies that definition. “Broomfield is directly between Denver and Boulder, so it really is the perfect commuter town,” says Claire Gilmore, the owner-broker of Houses by Claire Gilmore and a Broomfield resident. “But Interlocken is a lot more lively than your typical suburban neighborhood. It has large outdoor spaces, a great commercial center and a few office buildings.”
Modern multi-family properties from the 2000s
The south end of Interlocken has stone-façade contemporary dwellings with flat roofs and three to four bedrooms. “You won’t find a ton of single-family homes here, but the ones that do exist are newly built,” says Gilmore. “Almost every residential place here was built within the last 5 years. There’s a ton of new condominiums currently in construction, too.” Multi-family units like the Fusion 355 apartment complex also have modern exteriors. If you are buying in the area, expect to pay between $500,000 and $700,000, a range similar to a Broomfield home's average $600,000 selling price.
Parks and large open spaces with recreation
The 13-acre Interlocken East Park has an 18-hole disc golf course scattered across its rolling terrain. You can also hike paved paths shaded by mature cottonwood trees or practice your serve on the sand volleyball courts. Head to Interlocken West Park to catch a little league game on the baseball diamonds or enjoy a peaceful stroll around the pond. The Interlocken Golf Club has three individual 9-hole courses: the Vista, El Dorado, and Sunshine. Each one features panoramic Rocky Mountain views, challenging elevation changes and a ryegrass fairway. The G1 climbing gym and fitness center is also in the neighborhood. The center has several rock climbing classes, daily yoga flows and group excursions to nearby natural rock formations. The Carolyn Holmberg Preserve is only 5 miles from the neighborhood. The 1,124-acre plot has nature paths surrounding wildflower fields and the glittering Stearns Lake, where anglers can fish for largemouth bass and tiger muskie.
A-rated Broomfield public schools
Children in The Outlook can attend Kohl Elementary, which has an overall A grade from Niche. Then, they may go to Broomfield Heights Middle School. In addition to its overall A-minus grade from Niche, the school offers a variety of exploratory extracurriculars, including multimedia production and three-dimensional design. Lastly, at Broomfield High, students can earn certifications in career and technical programs like welding or physical therapy, thanks to the school's partnership with Boulder Technical Education Center. The school even receives an A-minus in academics from Niche with core classes like social media for business and environmental science. Brighton Academy is also in Interlocken. The private school serves students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
Shopping malls and local restuarants in Interlocken
“We don’t technically have a downtown district in Broomfield, but Interlocken is about as close as it gets,” says Gilmore. “Everyone knows it as a place where there’s a ton of shopping and dining options.” For instance, Flatiron Crossing is a shopping mall with over 200 nationally known retailers, including Apple, Dick’s Sporting Goods and Macy’s. You can also grab groceries at the Walmart Supercenter. However, if you’d rather go out to eat, the neighborhood’s southern region has a few locally-owned restaurants. Tucked inside Hilltop Inn, The Burns Pub may not look like much from the outside, but its folksy interior, British bar bites and extensive Whiskey list are beloved across the community. Another local favorite is 4 Noses Brewing Company. There isn’t an on-site kitchen, but a different food truck parks outside every day.
Traveling around Interlocken by car or bus
U.S. Route 36 runs along Interlocken’s eastern boundary and a 12-mile drive north on the road leads to Boulder. Follow the thoroughfare south for 17 miles, and you’ll reach Denver. Eight Regional Transportation District bus stops are sprinkled across the neighborhood, making travel to the two cities even more accessible. With a bustling atmosphere amid a traditional suburb, Interlocken offers excitement and quiet all at once.
