Firestone is a growing town in southwestern Weld County, about 30 miles north of Denver along the I-25 corridor. It is the third of the Carbon Valley's "Tri-Towns," alongside Frederick and Dacono, and it pairs a small historic core with large newer neighborhoods, an extensive trail system and a state park inside town limits.
Firestone has grown faster than almost anywhere in Colorado. Its population jumped from about 1,900 in 2000 to more than 10,000 in 2010, the fastest growth of any Colorado community in that census. It reached 16,381 in 2020, and the Census Bureau estimates about 20,000 residents as of 2025.

Firestone homes tend to be roomy, averaging close to 4 bedrooms. List prices run from the high $300,000s for new townhomes to around $2 million at the very top, with most single-family homes between the mid $400,000s and the $700,000s. New construction is a big part of the market: roughly 30 newly built homes are listed, led by the Barefoot Lakes and Barefoot Village communities, with more in Frontier Estates and Cordovan.
Established neighborhoods include Saddleback Heights, St. Vrain Ranch, Ridge Crest, Overlook and the original Firestone town site, where homes often come with mature trees and no new-build wait.
Coal brought Firestone to life. In 1872 Thomas McKissick and his brothers discovered coal in southwestern Weld County and opened the McKissick Mine, which the Town describes as Colorado's first production coal mine. In 1907 Ohio investors founded the Firestone Coal Company, and the town established in 1908 was named for investor Jacob H. Firestone. Five mines operated here until 1947, when the last of them closed.
The mining era left a lasting gift: the old rail bed that hauled the coal is now the 12-mile Firestone Trail. The Firestone Centennial Clock and brick plaza at Jacob H. Firestone Memorial Park hold a time capsule set to be opened in 2059.
Firestone is served by St. Vrain Valley Schools. Schools serving the town include:
School assignments depend on the exact address. Confirm boundaries with the district's school locator before you buy.
Firestone sits on the I-25 corridor, with quick access at the Highway 52 interchange and to Highway 119 toward Longmont and Boulder. That makes Longmont, Boulder, Fort Collins, Greeley and the north Denver metro all reasonable drives. The Town has planned intersection improvements where the I-25 frontage road meets Firestone Boulevard.
