A quiet atmosphere and an abundance of agriculture in Platteville

Resting along the winding South Platte River, surrounded by miles of farmlands and rolling hills, Platteville is a rural, Weld County town with quiet, walkable streets and a rural atmosphere. Founded in 1871 with the development of the Denver Pacific Railroad, the town has always been rooted with atmosphere and, today, over 200 farms can be found in the area. “Platteville is a small town with a secluded feel, but you’re really only 15 minutes from towns where you get everything you need,” says Kristina Hayes, a Platteville resident and Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty. “People move here for a quiet atmosphere, but you can commute to Greeley, Brighton and Longmont within a short drive.”

Spacious lots and 20th-century architecture

Bi-levels, bungalows and ranch-style homes line the streets of Platteville, with some multi-story builds and manufactured homes mixed throughout. Most of the area’s houses were built between the early 1900s and the 1970s, with 21st-century homes in the Rogers Farm subdivision on the community’s north side. Near the center of town, houses sit on quarter to half-acre lots, while the outskirts of Platteville offer properties ranging from 1 to over 10 acres. “You’ll find lower home prices here compared to other Weld County communities,” Hayes says. “And the taxes are a bit lower too.” Manufactured homes range from $60,000 to $130,000, while single-family homes can go for $320,000 to $685,000, with prices increasing alongside square footage and property size.
