The good and bad of living in Fort Collins
OK so I'm a remote worker and Average temperature is around 47°F, so expect cold winters. The median home value here is around $548,400, which is pretty steep. Poverty rate is 5.6%, which is pretty low. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The city has invested a lot in new development.
Pros:
- Nice parks and trails
- Good schools
- Good healthcare facilities
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Cold winters
- Limited nightlife
- Lack of diversity
- Few job opportunities in some fields

It's not perfect, but the community is solid. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's changing fast — some good, some not so much. The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's changing fast — some good, some not so much. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's changing fast — some good, some not so much. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.
