Relocation Guide
Medtronic's Colorado jobs aren't in Boulder proper. They're a three-campus cluster along US-36, and the move-up band lives in the east value belt: Louisville, Superior, Lafayette, Erie. But two of those towns sit on the Marshall Fire burn scar, so insurance, not price, is the real gate.
Lyons
Try to look up what a home in Lyons costs and you'll get four different answers hundreds of thousands of dollars apart. There's a reason: Lyons is too small and too varied to have a usable median. Here's how you actually price a house here.
Berthoud
In Berthoud's move-up band you're almost always buying a new build inside a metro district. The number that decides the deal isn't the sticker price. It's the district's debt mill levy, and it's the one cost in the whole deal you can't negotiate.
Loveland
In Loveland's move-up band, the west-side foothills and canyon-mouth homes your dollar reaches are the same homes wildfire and flood insurers have turned hardest to cover. Underwrite the insurance before you write the offer.
Longmont
Longmont sits in two counties, and some Longmont-addressed homes aren't in the city at all. Before you shop, know which Longmont a listing is really in. It decides your well, your septic, and your internet.
Boulder
The median single-family home in Boulder sold for $1,275,000 across 2025, and the city adds almost no new houses: a scrape replaces, it doesn't add. So the real decision is which of the three Boulders you can buy, and that comes before any house.
