A growing market and a rural atmosphere in Dacono
Among the farmlands of Weld County, Dacono is a rural, north Denver suburb with a growing housing market and easy access to city amenities. Less than 3 miles from Interstate 25, Dacono sits just south of Frederick and Firestone, home to recreation areas, public schools and suburban amenities. “Dacono, Frederick and Firestone are referred to as the Tri-Cities,” says Emily Wolfe, a local Realtor with Porchlight Real Estate Group. “Each town has its own community, but they are so close together that the amenities and businesses are accessible from whichever town you live in. It’s a rapidly growing area, and homebuyers are drawn to the rural feel and easy access to Denver and Boulder.”

New developments meet century-old architecture
On the north side of town, homes date back to the mid-to-late 1900s, while most of the area's homes were built after 2000. The town’s population has more than doubled over the past 20 years, and new developments have been keeping up with demand. Near the town’s center, bungalows, split-levels and ranch-style homes line the streets, while newer subdivisions feature modern traditional and craftsman-style architecture. “Home prices here are attractive, and tend to be lower than Firestone and Frederick, on average,” Wolfe says. Manufactured homes and fixer-uppers range from $120,000 to $390,000, while move-in-ready single-family homes can go for $400,000 to $990,000. Two to three-bedroom townhomes range from $350,000 to $360,000.
Dacono offers larger more modern two story homes in some areas.
