Old Town West rewards daily life with tree-canopied streets, distinctive historic homes, and an easy rhythm that comes from living close to everything. A quick stroll brings you to Downtown’s coffee counters and patios in Fort Collins, while a few blocks west, sprawling City Park invites picnics on the lawn, summertime dips at the pool, and sunset views across Sheldon Lake at the beloved City Park. History buffs can tour the beautifully preserved Avery House, and curious minds gravitate to the interactive exhibits and theater at the Fort Collins Museum of Discovery. Civic services are close at hand, too, with county resources centered in Larimer County.
Families value the neighborhood’s strong school options in Poudre School District. Dunn IB Elementary School anchors the area with the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program, and many students continue to Poudre High School, home to the full IB Diploma Programme. Getting around is straightforward: bike boulevards fan out from Old Town West, and the Transfort network connects you to campus, Midtown, and beyond without the parking hassle.
