Life at The Avenues Crofton Park in Broomfield is vibrant, social, and full of opportunities to connect and engage. From morning meetups to Fireside Chats, every interaction fosters a strong sense of community and belonging. Here’s a glimpse into a typical day at The Avenues, where, like the show Cheers, “everybody knows your name.”
Morning
As the sun rises, the onsite management and concierge team ensure everything runs smoothly—from restocking the coffee station to updating the daily activity board. Residents start their day in various ways, some head to the coffee bar for an espresso, latte, hot cocoa, or tea, while others gather in the hotel-style lobby to chat, read the newspaper, or check the events schedule.
A resident favorite is Mimosas and Mingling, held every Wednesday, where about 40 residents enjoy breakfast treats, bubbly, and good conversation.
Midday
Staying active is a priority at The Avenues, with Fitness Fun classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, plus lively Zumba sessions and Tai Chi on the patio in the summer.
Social connections thrive with activities like monthly birthday celebrations, card bingo and seated volleyball (played with an inflatable beach ball). Seasonal events and holiday parties ensure there’s always something to look forward to. Resident-led activities, like the recipe exchange and wine club, bring people together to connect over shared hobbies and interests.
New residents often have questions about the activity calendar, tech help, driving directions, or local transportation. Thankfully, the welcoming atmosphere means neighbors and staff are always ready to lend a hand and help newcomers feel at ease.
The concierge services ensure residents and their families have peace of mind, assisting with everything from coordinating hair appointments and medical pedicures at the onsite salon to maintenance requests and package deliveries.
For those who love outings, The Avenues provides easy access to public transit, and the concierge team can help coordinate. Residents who drive appreciate the heated underground parking garage, especially during Colorado winters!
Afternoon
Afternoons are perfect for enjoying the billiards lounge, game room, library, community gardens, and outdoor spaces. Some residents host friends and family in their apartments and cottages, while others join Craft & Chat or relax by the propane fire pit. The nearby Metzger Farm Open Space walking trails offer a scenic retreat for those who love the outdoors.
Evening
As the sun sets, residents gather by the fireplace for casual conversation or crochet on the couches before heading home for dinner. Most activities wrap up by 3 or 4 p.m., creating a quiet, relaxed atmosphere in the evening. A secure fob entry system ensures residents feel safe and comfortable after business hours.
A Close-Knit Community
Since opening in 2014, The Avenues has encouraged and nurtured a strong sense of community, where new residents are warmly welcomed, and friendships form easily. It’s not unusual to see residents knocking on each other’s doors, sharing homemade treats, exchanging thoughtful cards with staff, or swapping stories with longtime delivery drivers from Meals on Wheels, UPS and FedEx.
For those considering a move, The Avenues offers more than just a place to live—it’s a true community where neighbors are friends, staff are family, and everyone looks out for one another. With a strong culture of support and genuine connections, it’s a welcoming, tight-knit place that truly feels like home.
Whether you’re looking to downsize, simplify home maintenance, or find a welcoming community, The Avenues offers it all.
