Locally owned 55+ active adult community celebrates 12 years of community-first retirement along the Front Range.
For older adults seeking a maintenance-free retirement without sacrificing their autonomy, The Avenues Crofton Park has spent the last 12 years redefining independent living in Broomfield. Founded in 2014, the award-winning 55+ active adult community pioneered a unique model known as “senior boutique living.” This approach intentionally balances a tight-knit, resident-driven atmosphere with seamless access to the broader Broomfield, Boulder and Denver areas.
Operated locally by The Avenues Company, LLC, the property is managed day-to-day by a small, dedicated local team of three to five employees. The very same development team that launched the community over a decade ago continues to oversee and invest in it today. This rare consistency in leadership ensures highly responsive, best-in-class service for everyone who calls the community home.
“The Avenues Crofton Park stands apart through its boutique scale, thoughtfully designed spaces and strong sense of connection,” according to the organization’s leadership team.
Unlike massive, institutional senior complexes, the Broomfield development maintains an intimate, hospitality-driven scale featuring just 70 apartments and 20 cottages. This exclusive layout allows residents to enjoy modern conveniences in a welcoming, comfortable environment built around activity and choice. The community’s competitive edge is further elevated by its 14 spacious floor plans. Notably, it features stand-alone duplex cottages equipped with private garages—a highly sought-after residential option not available anywhere else in Broomfield.
Central to the community’s philosophy is an all-inclusive pricing structure designed to provide a simplified, predictable lifestyle with no hidden costs or unexpected surprises. A single monthly fee covers rent, utilities, maintenance, and access to all on-site amenities and social activities. It even includes complimentary, climate-controlled underground parking and storage, a popular feature that enhances safety and year-round comfort for Colorado winters.
By eliminating the hassles of home maintenance, residents are free to focus their energy on family, travel, hobbies, and staying active. Daily life at the property is vibrant and highly social, featuring instructor-led fitness classes, book clubs, art workshops, game nights and outdoor gatherings. Shared spaces—such as a boutique hotel-style lobby with a fireplace, private gathering areas, a resident library, community gardens, and an outdoor patio complete with a fire pit and grill—naturally encourage meaningful social interactions. The neighborhood’s elevated atmosphere is punctuated by a thoughtfully curated art collection installed throughout the campus by Denver-based Nine dot Arts.
The community’s stellar reputation is well-validated, having been recognized as a three-time People’s Choice Award winner for Best Retirement Community in Broomfield County.
Geographically, Broomfield provides an ideal backdrop for the residents. Tucked between Boulder and Denver, away from the bustling Interstate 25 corridor, the location pairs easy regional accessibility with a peaceful, safe home environment. The setting perfectly supports an active outdoor lifestyle, with immediate access to local trails, recreation centers, golf courses, wellness programs, and the nearby Metzger Farm Open Space. For many residents, relocating to the area is driven by family, allowing them to live independently while remaining close to adult children and grandchildren for frequent visits.
Ties to the local municipality run deep. The Avenues Crofton Park remains an engaged fixture in the town through the local Chamber, community event participation, and targeted local partnerships. On-site property managers and concierge services routinely connect residents with area resources, programs, and transportation. Residents also regularly give back by volunteering with local faith communities and civic organizations.
Educational and cultural enrichment thrive through rotating guest speakers, artists, and culinary experts who host specialized workshops. Furthermore, a strong partnership with the Broomfield Library directly supports the resident book club by providing shared reading materials and discussion guides, reinforcing a collective dedication to lifelong learning and deep community connection.
