Longmont

With a quick commute to Boulder and Longs Peak looming large in the background, Longmont is a great alternative to living in Boulder. Paths go everywhere, breweries line the downtown area. You can cheer on the Rams with CSU or the Buffs at CU—good neutral ground here. Other towns that are noteworthy include Niwot, Berthoud, Loveland, and Ft. Collins. Turn of the century bungalow or big suburban home—Longmont has you covered.
