Bar Nunn's quiet charm and mountain views
Bar Nunn is a rural town in the prairies just north of Casper, Wyoming. It was originally the site of Wardwell Field airport, which closed in 1952, and its streets occupy some of the airport’s former runways. The town is home to around 3,000 residents, several public parks and a few shops and restaurants. “It’s a quiet town with nice views of the mountains," says Realtor Greg Moline of Broker One Real Estate, who has been working in the Casper area since 2007. "There are some newer homes there, and they tend to be more affordable compared to what you’ll find in Casper. The prices really depend on the oil industry’s boom and bust cycles, though. They can fluctuate quite a bit,” Casper is one of the most oil-rich regions on the West Coast.

Homes include a mix of older and newer styles on large lots
Homes in Bar Nunn sit along quiet, suburban streets surrounded by grassy flatlands. “Bar Nunn really started building homes about 50 years ago during the 1970s oil boom, then it went bust," Moline says. "After that, nothing much was built there until the 2006 oil boom, and that's why you see a lot of new construction there." Ranch styles, split-levels and traditional designs are the most common. The lot sizes are generous, with some offering nearly a half-acre of land. Prices range from $280,000 to $430,000. Some manufactured homes are available, offering a more affordable option. Bar Nunn gets a 2 out of 10 CAP Index Crime Score, compared to 4 nationally.

Industrial and commercial companies sit along the town’s outer rim. Residents can head to Casper for grocery chains, big-box stores, breweries and an array of dining and shopping options. “Most people are going into Casper for everything. It’s just a few minutes away,” Moline says.

Local community parks and nearby river trails
