Small town feel, big city amenities

Named the #1 place to live in Colorado according to Forbes magazine in 2022, Fort Collins provides the community of a small town with the amenities of a large city. Situated on the banks of the Cache La Poudre River and the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, the city offers its residents the full range of outdoor recreational opportunities with nearly a thousand acres of parks and more than 37,000 acres of natural areas. Meanwhile, the historic downtown provides live music, theater, and art attractions throughout the year. Fort Collins also offers top-notch local dining options and boasts the title of Colorado’s craft beer capital.
