Upon taking a swing by the COhomefinder Web site, you’ll notice the specific mention of certain Front Range/Denver Metro area cities, such as Arvada, Boulder, Broomfield, Estes Park, Castle Rock, Englewood, Evergreen, Fort Collins, Parker, Westminster and many more.  Although COhomefinder serves a whole host of other cities, here’s a round-up of each of those featured communities, with a link to a Google Map of where current Colorado homes for sale are.

• Arvada–West of Denver, Arvada is a suburb of generous area and flavors. From the more rural areas, to the quaint center of town, Arvada is a bedroom community popular with commuters who want a more wide-open family-friendly appeal than an urban offshoot.    (Map of Arvada homes for sale)
• Aurora–Southeast of Denver, Aurora is a rapidly growing area with its roots in industry and healthcare.  It also covers a good-sized geographic area, and therefore, a widespread variety of offerings. (Map of Aurora homes for sale)
• Boulder–20 minutes northwest of Denver, Boulder and its northern Colorado cousins make up a cluster of towns and cities popular with outdoor enthusiasts, mountain dwellers, naturalists, college students, knowledge workers and professionals in the tech industry and more.  (Map of Boulder homes for sale)
• Broomfield–Broomfield has been called both a suburb of Denver and of Boulder, mostly because it’s in between.  What families find appealing about Broomfield is its affordability, along with the option of participating in close-knit communities that aren’t too close knit. (This isn’t Mayberry, after all.)  Broomfield is also popular with those who work at one of the scores of Interlocken office buildings or on the Sun Microsystems campus.

• Castle Rock–Midway between Denver and Colorado Springs sits at the East Plum Creek Valley at the foot of the Rockies.

• Evergreen– Just a quick jaunt to Evergreen Lake and charming downtown Evergreen, it’s an area with something for those straddling the fence between town and country The 100 newest listings at COhomefinder show that the variety of Evergreen offerings is as wide open as the blue sky.
