Adams City
By Jessica Car · Updated April 2026
Commerce City's namesake district, laid out in 1902 with hopes of becoming the Adams County seat. Today it features midcentury bungalows and ranch-style homes from the 1940s-60s, many modernized while retaining vintage charm. Spacious yards, close proximity to Pioneer Park, and a 10-minute drive to downtown Denver at a median price around $375K make it a strong value proposition for buyers comfortable with older housing stock.
