Colorado’s Most Celebrated Walkable Community
Bradburn Village is one of the most architecturally and planning-significant neighborhoods in the Denver metro — a $220 million, 125-acre new urbanist development in north Westminster designed by Duany Plater-Zyberk & Co., the firm behind some of the most celebrated walkable communities in America. Named for Donald Bradburn, the first local son killed in World War I, it represents Westminster’s most ambitious implementation of new urbanist zoning.
The concept is simple and radical by Colorado suburban standards: everything a resident needs should be within a short walk. Whole Foods, restaurants, coffee, parks, schools, and daycare — all accessible without a car. The Village Core commercial district, with 100,000+ square feet of shops, restaurants, and offices in a Main Street format above which residents live, generates genuine mixed-use energy that rarely exists in suburban Colorado. Average household income here is $153,950 — Westminster’s highest — and residents are regularly seen out walking, cycling, and gathering at Orchard Park’s gazebo for community concerts.
The community has four distinct sub-neighborhoods each with different housing styles — Craftsman homes, rowhomes, brownstones, and contemporary townhomes — all connected by a diagonal landscaped boulevard oriented toward Rocky Mountain vistas and linked to 45 miles of open space trails. Bradburn has been recognized nationally as a model for sustainable, walkable suburban development.
Halfway Between Denver and Boulder
Bradburn sits in north Westminster equidistant between downtown Denver and downtown Boulder — roughly 25 minutes to each. US-36 is immediately accessible, as is the Flatiron Flyer BRT service. Bradburn’s combination of in-neighborhood walkability and solid transit access makes it one of the most car-optional suburban addresses in the metro.
The community connects directly to Westminster’s 45-mile open space trail network, with Dry Creek Open Space — a natural prairie environment — accessible from the southeastern edge. FlatIron Crossing and the broader Broomfield commercial corridor are a short drive south.

Where Bradburn Residents Eat
Bradburn has the rarest thing in suburban Westminster: a genuinely walkable dining scene within the neighborhood. The Village Core’s Main Street format means residents can walk to dinner, coffee, and grocery.
A Bradburn institution in the Village Core — a beloved breakfast and lunch spot that anchors the neighborhood’s dining scene and exemplifies the walkable food culture Bradburn was designed to create.
A full-service Whole Foods in the Village Core makes Bradburn genuinely unusual — a walkable natural grocery steps from most front doors.
Hideaway is the north Denver metro’s standout upscale steakhouse — tucked among tree groves and open fields with a “Colorado upscale” philosophy: prime aged steaks, fresh seasonal ingredients, and impeccable service in a setting that feels genuinely removed from the surrounding suburbs.
A family-owned north metro institution that has been serving breakfast and lunch burritos for over 20 years. Build-your-own with fresh ingredients, green chili that draws devoted regulars from across Broomfield and Westminster, and the kind of no-frills operation where the food does all the talking.
The area’s most acclaimed sit-down restaurant a short drive south — Colorado-sourced steaks and creative seasonal dishes by the Kevin Taylor Restaurant Group.
One of Colorado’s most praised independent breweries — a short drive for quality craft beer in a welcoming taproom.
