Less than a mile east of the University of Northern Colorado, Alta Vista serves as a residence for college students and long-term Greeley residents alike. “There are a lot of investment opportunities in the area,” says Brian Franzen, a local real estate agent with eXp Realty. “It’s a popular area for UNC students, so some homes get flipped and turned into rental properties. It’s also a more affordable community compared to the suburbs in West Greeley.”
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.
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.
Union Colony Elementary School and Brentwood Middle School earn C-plus overall grades from Niche. The B-rated Greeley Central High School has an advanced manufacturing pathway where students can earn manufacturing skills and post-secondary credits by taking courses like experimental design and engineering, industrial troubleshooting and process technology. Through AIMS Community College, participating students gain industry-relevant certifications. Greeley Central also hosts a performing and visual arts magnet program with an extended Advanced Placement fine arts curriculum. The University of Northern Colorado is just four blocks away from Alta Vista and serves over 12,000 students.
A half mile north of the neighborhood, 16th Street is lined with small, locally run businesses. Margie’s Java Joint serves coffee, baked goods and brunch dishes and has handcrafted goods made by local artists. A few doors down, High Brau Taphouse opened in 2018 and a rotating selection of 30 beers brewed across Colorado. For Groceries, King Soopers and Save A Lot are a short drive south.
The UNC Jackson Field Sports Complex is nearby and is home to soccer fields, a baseball diamond and the college’s ropes course. The Poudre River Trail can be accessed about 3 miles north of Alta Vista at the trailhead on North 11th Avenue. This paved path runs over 20 miles along the winding Poudre River through Greeley, Windsor and the southeast side of Fort Collins.
The Greeley Evans Transit System has bus stops in the neighborhood along 22nd Street. The neighborhood is also located near the intersection of U.S. routes 85 and 34, which can take drivers to nearby cities like Fort Collins, Cheyenne, Wyoming and Fort Morgan.
