Longmont offers Boulder County living without Boulder prices. The revitalized downtown on Main Street has attracted craft breweries, restaurants, and shops. Left Hand Brewing put Longmont on the beer map decades ago.
The St. Vrain Creek runs through town, providing a trail corridor and access to parks and open space. Button Rock Preserve west of town offers hiking to a scenic reservoir beneath Rocky Mountain peaks.
Located between Boulder and Fort Collins, Longmont has grown rapidly while maintaining a distinct identity. The city emphasizes sustainability and has developed one of the state's best municipal fiber internet networks.
