McIntosh Lake — Longmont, Colorado Neighborhood Guide

Serving Boulder County

McIntosh Lake is a reservoir and surrounding residential area in northwest Longmont, west of Airport Road. The paved trail circling the lake is a favorite for joggers, dog walkers, and birders, with open views of Longs Peak and the Front Range from the west shore. Housing ranges from established mid-century ranches to newer single-family homes on the lake's east and south shores, with a handful of true waterfront properties. Longmont Estates Elementary and Westview Middle School are within a few minutes' drive, and the St. Vrain Greenway, Sandstone Ranch open space, and downtown Longmont are all a short trip away. The neighborhood pairs a lakefront, semi-rural feel with the convenience of an established city school district.
