Reunion, Commerce City CO — Homes For Sale & Neighborhood Guide
Commerce City's flagship master-planned community — resort-style amenities, new construction homes, and a tight-knit community at Denver metro's most accessible price points.
Reunion is one of the most successful master-planned communities in the Denver metro area, and it has fundamentally transformed the perception of Commerce City as a place to live. Developed over the past two decades on the rolling plains northeast of Denver, Reunion now encompasses over 3,500 homes and continues to grow, with multiple builders offering new construction at price points that are increasingly rare this close to Denver.
What sets Reunion apart is the quality of its amenities relative to its price point. The Reunion Recreation Center is a 30,000-square-foot facility with an indoor pool, fitness center, and community spaces — a level of amenity typically found in communities priced $100K–$200K higher. With easy access to Denver International Airport (15 minutes) and downtown Denver (20 minutes), Reunion is one of the metro's best values.
