Finding Your Home in Fort Collins: A Local's Guide to Your First Purchase

by Christine Gwinnup

Finding Your First Home  For Sale in Fort Collins


Since 1999, Northern Colorado has been more than just a place to live for me; it's been a vibrant stage for the story of my life, particularly the colorful and bustling city of Fort Collins. Despite making my home in Loveland, my heart often led me to the charming streets of downtown Fort Collins, where the spirit of community and adventure is alive in every corner. From the annual Taste of Fort Collins to dancing the night away in local clubs, cheering on the CSU Rams at exhilarating sports events, exploring enriching museums, and discovering countless family-friendly activities, my experiences here have deeply influenced my understanding of what it means to truly belong to this community. It’s these experiences I want to share with you, especially if you're taking the first steps towards buying your home in Fort Collins.
