Alta Vista
Quaint bungalows near campus
Bungalows, Cape Cods and ranch-style homes make up Alta Vista's housing market. Fenced-in back yards are common, and most houses sit on 5,000 to 7,000-square-foot lots. Many residents use the street or short driveways for parking, with a select few featuring garages. Fixer-uppers with less than 1,000 square feet range from $275,000 to $350,000, while larger homes range from $360,000 to $600,000.

Rodeos and rides at the Greeley Stampede
The Greeley Stampede runs for around two weeks every summer and hosts a rodeo, carnival rides and live music, with prominent artists over the years, from Taylor Swift to Old Dominion. “The Greeley Stampede is the premier event in town every year,” says Chuck Bowles, a local Realtor with Austin & Austin Real Estate who has worked in the area for decades. “People who grew up here but moved away come back to town for the event. It’s almost like a class reunion.” Another popular summertime event is Friday Fest. “They close 9th Street to traffic and locals bring lawn chairs to listen to live music while enjoying a drink from one of the nearby bars,” Bowles says.
