Suburban neighborhood near downtown Longmont

Clark Centennial is a bustling and recreationally active neighborhood less than 2 miles from downtown Longmont with multiple housing styles lining its residential streets. “It’s right off of Longmont’s most popular area, so you can be within walking distance of Main Street while still living outside of it,” says Caitlyn Heisel, broker and owner of Adventure Realty. “You’re just far enough away where people aren’t parking in front of your house or anything.” The suburban landscape is interrupted by sprawling neighborhood parks that bring multiple sports facilities and recreational opportunities to the community.

Lined with unique single-family homes

Cul-de-sacs branch out from many of Clark Centennial’s winding neighborhood streets. While there is a variety of housing styles in the neighborhood, most properties come with grassy lawns, attached garages and driveways. Brick ranch-style homes built in the 1970s are popular, alongside new traditional single-story homes with brightly colored exteriors. These properties range from 1,000 to 2,000 square feet and can cost $375,000 to $575,000. Split-level homes aren’t as common but go for similar prices. “The area has seen quite a bit of improvement,” Heisel says. “You’re going to see smaller square footage and less bathroom-to-bedroom count, but people are taking older homes and doing remodels to adjust.” Contemporary homes with Craftsman features are also found throughout the neighborhood, sporting multiple front gables and pointed roofs. These homes are larger, ranging from 1,500 to 2,800 square feet, and can cost $525,000 to $700,000. A handful of duplexes and townhouses line the neighborhood’s outskirts near Main Street. “Compared to some other areas in and around Longmont, Clark Centennial can offer relatively affordable housing options, which attracts first-time homebuyers and those looking for value in a desirable location,” says Realtor Eric Farran, owner of Real Broker LLC who has over two decades of experience.

An abundance of sports and recreation

Opportunities for outdoor recreation are abundant in Clark Centennial with its expansive green spaces. The neighborhood's namesake park is one of the largest parks in Longmont. There’s a playground, pickleball courts, roller hockey rink, disc golf course and more. “This park is a central spot in the neighborhood, offering a range of amenities. It’s a great place for families and community events,” Farran says. The Centennial Swimming Pool is an aquatics facility with an indoor pool and fitness room. Additionally, the Longmont Youth Center is located in Clark Centennial Park, offering both after-school and summer activities to children within the community. Less than a mile away, Spangler Park is split down the middle by a stream. Patrons can enjoy the playground and picnic area or relax in its grassy fields. Next door, the Longmont Athletic Club is a fitness center with various indoor facilities like a weight room and racquetball court. The Second Start Community Garden has been growing in the neighborhood since 1996 and has become a Longmont staple for organic produce. In addition to the seasonal plots that are registered to community members, there are established grape vines and berry bushes that come back every year.

Commercial corridors along Main Street

Since Clark Centennial is primarily residential, most shops and restaurants are found outside the neighborhood. Fox Creek Village is a commercial center less than a mile away that has a King Soopers and Walgreens. There are also multiple options along Main Street, which runs parallel to the western edge of the neighborhood. Mama Mead’s Pizzeria sits between Ninth and 10th Avenues. Across the street, Hidden Café is a family-owned breakfast spot. Further north, the corridor between 15th and 17th Avenues has a handful of Mexican eateries. Panaderia Guanajuato is a bakery serving authentic Mexican pastries, while Blue Corn Tacos specializes in its namesake dish.

Traveling in and around Clark Centennial

Clark Centennial’s wide residential streets are lined with sidewalks and pedestrian paths, allowing for afternoon strolls. Additionally, “Longmont is known for its extensive network of bike paths and lanes, which can be an alternative or supplement to public transportation for those who prefer cycling,” Farran says. As such, the neighborhood has a bike score of 70 out of 100. Local bus services include stops along Alpine Street, 17th Avenue, Lashley Street and East Mountain View Avenue. For the most part, a vehicle is needed to travel outside the area. US Route 287, also known as Main Street, is accessible from the neighborhood and can connect commuters to the rest of Longmont.
