Find A Place » Longmont Apartments Living Guide

Residents of Longmont apartments can feel secure living in a place named as an 'All American City' by the National Civic League and #50 on the top 100 places to live in America by Money Magazine. Even if you're not an outdoors person, you could easily become one with the incredible parks and open spaces available to people who live in Longmont. If you do prefer the indoors, excellent schools, shopping and cultural exhibits abound here as well.

The Longmont Parks and Recreation department provides both indoor and outdoor and athletic and creative pursuits. The Longmont Recreation Center is a

huge complex with two pools, basketball, volleyball and badminton courts in a large gymnasium, a fitness area, an aerobics room and weight room, as well as a 30 foot high, 1000 square feet climbing wall. The center is available for rent for private parties and events. The St. Vrain Memorial Building is in Longmont's Historic District and is another place to get a great indoor workout. Both facilities offer additional classes on such topics as photography, painting and tips for a healthy lifestyle.

All of the public swimming pools are great amenities for people who live in Longmont apartments, especially if your complex doesn't offer one. The Centennial Swimming Pool is indoor, while the Roosevelt Activity Pool, Sunset Pool, Kanemoto Activity Pool and the Union Reservoir Swim Beach are there to enjoy the summer sun and swim.

The Ice Pavilion provides a place for skaters and hockey buffs to get out and play.
In addition to the above recreation sites, the city maintains over 1500 acres of parks and open space, with 80 miles of hike and bike and horse riding trails. Since residents of Longmont apartments live at the base of the Rocky Mountains, 29 snow ski areas are within driving distance.

To find out more about Longmont and the history of this town founded in 1871, go to the Longmont Museum and Cultural Center. Four exhibit galleries with art from the region and nationally are here, along with classrooms for the many courses held here through the Parks and Recreation Department and a beautiful outdoor courtyard.

As with any all-American city, there are plenty of annual events to share with the community. Longmont has an awesome 4th of July Fireworks celebration every year, in addition to Rhythm on the River, an annual event in July that features live music, food and vendors. The excellent Concert in the Park series for the summer takes place at Roosevelt Park on Tuesdays, the Longmont Cultural Center on Wednesdays and Downtown on Thursdays. A Halloween Parade, the Longmont Triathlon and the Turkey Trot are all fall events that bring out the crowds.

One thing is for certain, it won't take long for in your Longmont apartment to feel like home!
