A Weld County small town with a community-oriented atmosphere
Along the northern banks of the South Platte River, just south of Greeley, the small city of Evans is a quaint, rural community in Weld County, Colorado. The snowy peaks of the Rocky Mountains can be seen in the distant west, with the national park around 55 miles away. Named after John Evans, the second governor of Colorado, the city began as a railroad town along the Denver Pacific Railroad, producing agricultural supplies in its early days.
Today, Evans is home to around 22,000 people. “Evans maintains a small-town feel,” says Caitlyn Heisel, a local Realtor with Adventure Realty. “When you’re going out to eat, it's mostly mom-and-pop shops and locally run businesses, and residents like to support local spots.”
Some prominent industries in Evans include agriculture, manufacturing, healthcare, construction and oil production, with major employers such as PDC Energy and Atmos Energy. Additionally, Evans is closely linked to Greeley, with shared public transit and schools.

Get more for your money in Evans
The city's east side features early-to mid-1900s bungalows, some in need of renovations, while newer developments span through the west side. Condo complexes sit between single-family subdivisions, with some newer construction sprinkled throughout. “One of the biggest perks of Evans is that you can get more for your money,” says Heisel. The average home price in Evans is $393,000, lower compared to nearby cities like Greeley and Fort Collins, which have average sales prices of $443,000 and $653,000, respectively.

Riverside recreation and miles of paved trails
Evans is home to over 300 acres of public park space, including the 101-acre Riverside Park. Around 5 miles north, Greeley’s Island Grove Regional Park is a popular outdoor space with various event venues. The Poudre River Trail winds alongside its namesake river on the north end of Greeley for more than 20 miles. Over a thousand walkers, runners and bikers use the paved path daily.

Celebrating Evans history
Community members gather in downtown Evans each year in the early Summer to celebrate Heritage Day. “Everyone comes together to remember the city’s early days and the community history,” says Heisel. “There’s a parade and live music near City Park.”
Authentic Mexican eats and nearby Greeley conveniences
The city is home to a small selection of local businesses, with an emphasis on authentic Mexican cuisine. Palomino Mexican Restaurant is one of the community’s most popular eateries. Shopping options in Evans include big box stores like Sam’s Club and Lowe’s, with a larger selection at the University Square shopping center on the south side of Greeley. “People like how quiet Evans is compared to Greeley,” Heisel says. “You have all of the amenities of Greeley within a 10-minute drive, but the lines in Evans are shorter and there’s less traffic. There are also a few small Latino markets.” For more shops and eateries, Downtown Greeley’s Ninth Street has offerings ranging from diners to big-box stores and art studios to boutiques.
