Split between Weld and Boulder counties, Erie, is a growing town with Rocky Mountain views, a desirable school district and an abundance of outdoor recreation areas. Surrounded by farmland and wide-open spaces, the community lies around 25 miles north of downtown Denver and 15 miles east of Boulder, making it an ideal spot for city commuters looking for a quieter home atmosphere.
Erie is home to dozens of subdivisions, from brand new developments to late 1990s builds. Modern craftsman-style homes are common in newer neighborhoods like Flatiron Meadows and Erie Highlands, while ranch-style homes, bungalows and split-levels can be found surrounding Erie’s commercial district. Homes range from the lower $300,000s to over $2 million, while townhomes and condos can go from the upper $200,000s to the mid $700,000s. The median sale price in Erie is around $630,000, which is higher compared to nearby communities like Longmont and Frederick.
Lot sizes range from less than a quarter acre to over 10 acres, and many locals can enjoy views of the Front Range from their yard. “One of the biggest draws to Erie is the beautiful mountain views,” says Brie Fowler, a local Realtor with Coldwell Banker and former Vice Chair of the Erie Economic Development Council. “While we’re farther from the mountains than Boulder, our slightly elevated position allows for great views all across town.”
The area is served by top-rated St Vrain Valley and Boulder Valley School District. Erie Middle School puts a focus on Pre-Advanced Placement coursework and offers a 16-day summer program for fifth through seventh graders that focuses on grade level language arts and math with hands on STEM activities. Erie High School offers an Academy of Engineering and Aerospace, a four-year curriculum pathway that works toward a senior-year capstone project. Erie is also home to a handful of private schools, including Aspen Ridge Prep School, Dawson School and Vista Ridge Academy.
Erie Community Park has athletic facilities, a pump track, a playground, walking trails and a community center and hosts dozens of youth and adult sports leagues. The base of the Rocky Mountains is around 15 miles away in Boulder, where hikers, bikers and horseback riders can access miles of scenic trails.
While Erie is largely residential, you can find a small selection of local businesses and amenities in a quaint downtown district along Briggs Street.
The town center area plays host to numerous events throughout the year. “One of the most popular events is the Erie Annual Hot Air Balloon Launch,” Fowler says. Each July, the celebration showcases sunrise balloon launches and an evening balloon glow, where tethered hot air balloons are alighted for a colorful show. Another popular celebration is Boo! on Briggs Street. The event is usually held on the Saturday before Halloween, where downtown businesses give out candy to trick-or-treaters. “It’s always a big hit,” Fowler says. “Last year, my office went through 25 bags of candy.” According to Cory Thompson, the Special Events and Membership Coordinator with the Erie Chamber of Commerce, the chamber runs six major events throughout the year, including two free-admission family friendly summer concerts.
Interstate 25 and state Route 287 both go directly to Denver. “When it comes to commuting, you’re really in the ideal spot,” Fowler says. “You can get to Loveland, Denver and Boulder within a 20 to 30-minute drive, depending on where you live in town. Our proximity to the highway makes day to day travel convenient.” The JUMP bus offers a route from the Erie Community Center to downtown Boulder. Denver International Airport is around 30 miles southeast.
While most locals commute to nearby cities for work, major employers in town include St Vrain Valley School District and Children’s Hospital Colorado.
