West Lyons — Lyons, Colorado Neighborhood Guide

Serving Boulder County

West Lyons grew in the post-war and subdivision era, with the Russell Subdivision platted in 1974 and additional phases through the 1980s along Longs Peak Drive and the western end of the townsite. The area's homes reflect that era — ranch, split-level, and minimal-traditional forms on wider streets with more conventional suburban spacing than the historic core. Its west-side position brings open views toward the foothills and quick access to the western trailheads and open space that define Lyons' recreation culture. Downtown's Main Street is a short walk or drive, and the neighborhood is served by the same Lyons schools as the rest of town. West Lyons offers the most approachable, classic-suburban housing stock in Lyons, often at more moderate prices than the historic district.

West Lyons is the town's later subdivision-era neighborhood along Longs Peak Drive and 5th Avenue, with ranch and split-level homes on wider streets and views of the foothills to the west.
