East Commerce City offers newer subdivision homes near Denver

East Commerce City is just a couple miles west of Denver International Airport, about 20 miles outside of Denver. Newly developed master-planned communities anchor the area, giving the streets a uniform curb appeal, and proximity to downtown is a draw. “This is a newer area that’s within 30 minutes of downtown Denver,” says Arlene Castro, a Realtor at IGo Realty with over 20 years of experience. “The location is great because it’s near the highway, and many people who live here work in the city.” The area is also between Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge and Barr Lake State Park, offering residents plenty of recreation opportunities.

Single-family homes typically feature New Traditional architecture and fall between $450,000 and $650,000.

Townhouses and duplexes may go from $330,000 to $480,000. “This is a great option if you are looking for a newer home for less money,” Castro says. “Homes here are less expensive than in the Denver area, and you are likely to get a larger home with newer conveniences.”
