| Erie is located north of the Denver Metro area by only 20 miles and is
positioned between Interstate 25 and Highway 287 to the East and West and between Highways
52 and 7 to the North and South. The portion of I-25 servicing Erie will be expanded to 6
lanes, with a new interchange being created within the next two years. Erie is just minutes
from Boulder, Longmont and several other communities along the Front Range. It lies within
both Boulder and Weld Counties.
There are many new
housing communities in Erie. Prices start in the low $175,000's. With many national and
local builders in Erie, prospective residents have a wide variety of homes available.
Erie, once home
to coal mines, railroads and agriculture, today is a vibrant community comprised of many
friendly neighborhoods. One of our friendliest neighborhoods is the Historic Downtown
Business District. Downtown is the home of eclectic businesses and wonderful eateries. We
invite you to take a stroll down Briggs Street to discover for yourself why Downtown Erie
is swiftly becoming a restaurant destination for folks who love to eat great food.
Downtown also plays host to some of our most colorful annual events such as the Erie Town
Fair, the High School Homecoming Parade, the Eerie Erie 10k Halloween race, Biscuit Day
and Oktoberfest. Downtown, like much of Erie, retains a comfortable small-town atmosphere
that says “welcome”.
Erie’s quality of life is
exceptional, with a glorious 340 days of sunshine per year. You may take advantage of our
wonderful weather by playing a round at Erie’s new 18-hole championship golf course,
Vista Ridge. Kids of all ages will enjoy the Town’s Skate Park and other outdoor
entertainment is abundant with world-class ski resorts located within an hour’s
drive.
