Old Town is where Fort Collins started, and you can feel it. Historic storefronts, brick sidewalks, and Old Town Square — the pedestrian plaza at the heart of downtown, with its stage, splash pad, shops, and events — give this part of town a character you won't find anywhere else in Northern Colorado. My office is in Old Town Square, so this is my neighborhood in every sense.

What living in Old Town is like.

The short answer: walkable. From many Old Town homes you can walk to dinner, to a brewery, to the farmers' market, to a show, and to Colorado State University. The housing here is a mix — preserved older homes with real history, lofts and condos near downtown, and streets where every house looks a little different from the next. That's part of the appeal, and part of what to look at carefully: older homes have stories, and some of those stories show up in the inspection. We'll look at the home's history together, not just its photos.

Who Old Town suits.

Buyers who want to be in the middle of things — walkability, dining and nightlife, and proximity to CSU — and who are comfortable with the trade-offs that come with a historic area: limited inventory, and homes that need a thoughtful eye rather than a quick glance. If that sounds like you, Old Town is worth a serious look. If you want a newer build and a bigger lot, I'll be honest with you about that too, and we'll look south or east instead.

Buying or selling in Old Town.

Because inventory is limited, pricing matters even more here — a home priced from real comparables, presented well, and marketed to the right buyers will do far better than one priced on hope. That's true everywhere, but in Old Town the gap between a well-priced home and an overpriced one shows up fast. If you're selling, I'll put together a personal price report for your home, not an automated estimate. If you're buying, I'll help you move quickly when the right one appears, and patiently when it hasn't yet.

Nearby, in brief.

Midtown sits just south, along College Avenue between Prospect and Harmony — more central, more mixed, and often a good fit if you want to be near Old Town without living right downtown. Midtown Fort Collins · Harmony Corridor & South Fort Collins · Fossil Lake Ranch & Fossil Creek
