East Side
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Longmont's historic east side blends early 1900s bungalows with mid-century ranches, townhomes, and condos across a housing stock built mostly between 1900 and 2000, on lots from a tenth to a quarter acre. Stephen Day Park anchors the area with a voyager-themed playground, BMX track, and skate park, while Rough and Ready Park, about a mile and a half north, adds bocce courts and horseshoe pits. Union Reservoir sits a short drive east for swimming and boating. Main Street and US-287 are five minutes away, with CO-119 and Hover Street offering the same quick access. Listed prices span the mid-$300s to $600K, with condos starting near $418K.
