In Farrs, logistics are key. Residents are close to the University of Northern Colorado, major thoroughfares and the various businesses of the University Square shopping center. Centered around its namesake park, the neighborhood’s residential streets are lined with sidewalks connecting to the park, the local elementary school and public transportation along 11th Avenue.
Modest ranch-style homes here were built in the 1950s and early 1960s and sit close together on 7,000-square-foot lots. Homes span from 800 to around 2,500 square feet, with paved driveways, attached garages and fenced-in back yards. Prices range from $290,000 to $415,00. With an average price of $355,000, houses here are lower than the average Greeley neighborhood.
Farr Park lies in the neighborhood’s center and has facilities for tennis, pickleball, volleyball, baseball and basketball, along with picnic tables and a playground. In the summer, the Hillside Pool on 27th Street is popular, where members can go for a swim or have a barbecue. Glenmere Park is a short drive north of Farrs and has a playground, picnic tables and shaded walking trails that wind alongside a pond, where anglers can catch largemouth bass, crappie and carp. “The Poudre River Trail is one of the most popular recreation areas in the city,” says June Lemmings, a local real estate agent with June’s Team Keller Williams. “You can spend a whole day walking the trail and not see it all. And it's always well-maintained and clean. It’s one of the city's points of pride.” The paved trail runs for around 21 miles alongside the Poudre River and is popular among bikers and runners.
Jackson Elementary School is around a half mile west of the neighborhood and earns a C-plus overall grade from Niche. Brentwood Middle School also has a C-plus and has numerous extracurricular offerings, including forensics, the yearbook club and the League of United Latin American Citizens. Greeley Central High School receives a B and, along with its dual enrollment opportunities, hosts the Health Science Academy, where participating students interested in medical careers can earn skills and knowledge through hands-on learning, community projects and competitive events. The University of Northern Colorado is just north of Farrs and enrolls around 9,000 students. The school offers over 200 undergraduate and graduate programs. Farrs borders the university’s sports facilities to the south, sometimes bringing some noise from Bears football games and soccer practices.
Farrs residents are close to the nearby restaurants and shops along 11th Avenue, including grocery stores such as King Soopers or Golden Star Asian Grocery. Dugout Bar and Grill serves pub fare, draft beers and cocktails in a casual setting. Across the street, Fat Shack has late hours and is open 7 days a week with angus beef burgers and loaded sandwiches. For more local restaurants, Ninth Street, in downtown Greeley, is lined with other options.
The community is about a mile from the intersection of state Routes 34 and 85, allowing for access to surrounding Greeley suburbs and nearby towns. Highway 34 takes drivers about 22 miles west to Loveland or 50 miles east to Fort Morgan, while SR-85 travels around 54 miles to Cheyenne, Wyoming or about 55 miles south to Denver. Greeley Evans Transit also operates a selection of nearby bus stops.
