City Center's creative arts scene rooted in Greeley history

City Center is the historic core of Greeley, where older buildings and plazas have been revitalized into a lively district with a strong arts presence. The area is part of the state-certified Greeley Creative District, which supports public art, galleries and local events throughout the year. Museums like the Greeley History Museum and the Colorado Model Railroad Museum add to the cultural mix. Green space is easy to find, with Island Grove Regional Park offering large recreational grounds nearby, and the Poudre River Trail connects the area to miles of paved pathways along the river.

Historic Victorian architecture

Houses sit close together on quaint, quarter-acre lots, and most have fenced-in backyards. Bungalows and ranch-style homes sit between American foursquares and farmhouses, with many homes featuring Victorian influences. While some houses were built in the mid-1900s, most date back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Two and three-bedroom bungalows with between 1,300 and 1,700 square feet range from $290,000 to $375,000, while larger builds with more acreage can go for $400,000 to $650,000.
