Sprawling suburban neighborhood with subdivisions

Close to Longmont’s downtown area, East Side is an expansive residential neighborhood with winding streets and plenty of green spaces. “A good chunk of single-family homes are on the East Side. There are a few restaurants, but for the most part it’s a primarily residential area,” says Realtor Teresa Lomax with Equity Colorado Real Estate. Multiple subdivisions break the neighborhood into communities that stick together.

Housing options from all eras

Homes in Longmont’s East Side are lined along sprawling neighborhood streets. Loops and cul-de-sacs dominate the area, with properties that have maintained lawns and driveways. “You’ve got 1970s houses, houses from the 2000s and mid-sized homes that are mid-level entry. It’s a high price point, but they’re beautiful homes,” says Realtor Marie Raines with Equity Colorado Real Estate, who is partners with Lomax. Multi-level Craftsman homes are common, sharing features such as pointed roofs, front gables and brick or stone accents. These properties range from 2,000 to 4,000 square feet and can cost $575,000 to $850,000. Craftsman bungalows sit shoulder to shoulder with these multi-level homes and have similar price points. Properties along the golf courses in the area can get up to $1.1 million. Additionally, the neighborhood has a handful of two-story townhouses and condos with balconies. These units range from 1,100 to 1,800 square feet for two beds and two baths and can cost $350,000 to $450,000.

Several green spaces and sports facilities

East Side is dotted with multiple neighborhood parks and green spaces. Stephen Day Park has a voyager-themed playground area, volleyball courts and paved walking paths. Bikers can practice their skills at the BMX park while skaters ride the ramps at the skate park. There’s even an off-leash dog area for pets. Rough & Ready Park on East 21st Avenue follows a water stream of the same name and has multiple multi-use playing fields. Bocce ball courts and horseshoe pits are some of its many outdoor facilities. Additionally, “there’s a walking path that’s built for biking and walking that goes through Longmont, all the way to Interstate 25 and then on to Boulder,” Raines says. At the eastern edge of the neighborhood, Union Reservoir provides several options for recreation on the water. Visitors can enjoy swimming, picnicking and fishing at its sandy beach. Non-motorized boating is allowed, including wind sailing, kayaking and paddle boarding. Golf enthusiasts can explore two outlets in East Side. Ute Creek Golf Course is a public, 18-hole course that’s maintained by the city of Longmont. “It’s a stunning golf course, and since it’s municipal, it’s very affordable to access golf,” Lomax says. There’s also the Fox Hill Club, a country club at the southern end of the neighborhood that has a private championship course. Club members also have access to a swimming pool, fitness center and tennis and pickleball courts.

HOA community events and city festivities

Several subdivisions in the East Side have their own Homeowners Associations that will put on events for the community. “Fox Hill is a very established and unique neighborhood. They have a luminary event that they do during the holidays where a trolly will go around to the homes and show off the Christmas lights in Old town,” Lomax says. Block parties and summer get-togethers are the norm. Downtown Longmont is also close enough to walk to the Farmer’s Market and join in on festivals that take place there.

Traveling around East Side

There are multiple ways to get around East Side. The neighborhood’s bike score is 64 out of 100, pointing to a bike-friendly community with wide streets and sidewalks. There are also several bus services with stops along Pace Street, Main Street and Mountain View Avenue for public transportation options. Even so, East Side’s sprawling landscape lends itself to a car-dependent community. “There’s a lot of walking that happens, but as far as getting around, you’re going to need a car to get to grocery stores,” Lomax says. Colorado Highway 66, known as Ute Highway, and Colorado Highway 119, known as East Ken Platt Boulevard, are both accessible in the neighborhood and connect to Interstate 25. In case of medical emergencies, UCHealth Longs Peak Hospital is on Ken Pratt Boulevard.

East Side's public transportation is a reliable way to get around the neighborhood.
