Broomfield, Colorado

Broomfield features a perfect placement between the city of Denver and Boulder. It gives residents the sense of a peaceful suburban home without missing the accessibility of city life.

Situated at 5,420 feet, it’s home to approximately 66,000 people as of 2016. Most of them say that they just adore the city, for its ideal northern Front Range location. The town was incorporated in 1961 and consolidated in 2001. It was possibly named for the broomcorn that is grown there. Like Denver city and county, Broomfield is also its own county.
