In 2006, Fort Collins was rated #1 in CNN / Money Magazine's Best Places to Live in the USA survey. The magazine stated that "great schools, low crime, good jobs in a high-tech economy and a fantastic outdoor life make Fort Collins No. 1." Not much has changed since then, as Fort Collins continues to grow and attract newcomers to its homes and properties.
While it retains an atmosphere of small-town charm, the city of Fort Collins is the largest of the Northern Colorado cities. Its milder winters make it nice for people who are active and are looking to enjoy a lifestyle that includes outdoor activities and natural beauty. Young people are drawn to the area for the Colorado lifestyle, with many students at Fort Collins's Colorado State University opting to live in town year-round, and to make Fort Collins their long-term home after graduating.
As the city of choice for many, from retirees to young families, to students, a Fort Collins property search involves gaining an intimate knowledge of its neighborhoods. As of today, the following is a snapshot of some of Fort Collins's more active neighborhoods with the number of listings available for each*:
Maple Hill - New starter homes from the mid 100's to the mid 200's.(56 listings today.)
Trail Head - Lots of land and brand new custom homes just northeast of downtown. (54 listings today.)
Lemay Avenue Estates - Land ho! Acres and acres of land for building just off Warren Lake and Collindale Golf Course. (46 listings today.)
Fossil Lake - Luxury new homes on the southeast side of Fort Collins. (34 listings today.)
Ridgewood Hills - Median home price $285,000, new homes and homes from late nineties. (18 listings today.)
Waterglen - Easy access to I-25 with newer homes 1500-2000 square feet. (19 listings today.)
Old Town North - Urban living in America's number #1 rated small city. (29 listings today.)
Whatever the inventory, Fort Collins remains a beloved alternative to Denver and Boulder, and enjoys its well-deserved reputation as Northern Colorado's center of commerce, education, and culture.
