Goodland draws former residents with its familiar charm
Goodland is a rural city with a laid-back community and a backbone in agriculture and ranching. "If you want to get away from the rat race, Goodland is a nice and quiet place to do that," says Donna Moore, broker at Richardson's Homestead Realty, and a resident since 1987. The area's population is slowly shrinking, but according to Moore, some people move back to Goodland after years away. "They grew up here, they moved away, they did their thing, and now they're coming back to raise kids, retire or be close to family again." Goodland's appeal lies in its close-knit, friendly people and returning to familiar streets with country charm.
Many activities in Goodland are within walking distance of home.

Older homes dominate a market where listings move quickly
Victorian cottages, ranch-style homes and Cape Cods range between $80,000 and $300,000. "Ninety percent of sales in Goodland are recycling through the existing housing," Moore says. She explains that the local market is slow due to rising prices and interest rates. "We have some houses worth more than half a million dollars, which is tough for a small farming community." Most of the area's housing is over half a century old. Still, a few New Traditional and Modern Craftsman homes and townhouses are around. The newer styles rarely go on the market but have estimated values as high as $550,000. With limited new construction, demand is high, and homes sell fast; On average, they sell after only two weeks from listing – about one-third the national average.
Bungalow's and craftsman homes are very common throughout Goodland.
Most homes throughout Goodland are single-story dwellings.

Farming and production still anchor a diversifying local job market
The city has come a long way from its earliest days regarding job opportunities and industry. "The biggest employers are probably the hospital and the school district," Moore says. "Still, farming and ranching are the mainstay of the area. Without the farmers, there would be no Goodland." Retail and wholesale trade are other leading industries, and more residents work from home than ever. "A lot of them work remotely for technology companies, and we have the high-speed internet facilities needed to do that," Moore says.
The local train yard and railroads carry mostly agricultural and manufacturing freight in Goodland.
The farming industry plays a huge role in the economy for Goodland.
