Former Pueblo airport turned convenient suburbia
Before the 1950s, Sunset was Pueblo’s catch-all area, housing dairy farms, parts of the Colorado State Fairgrounds and even an airport. As the city’s population grew, more houses were built, and by the end of the 1950s all those assets and amenities were gone. The airport became single-family homes, and the dairy farms became shopping plazas filled with local restaurants and big box retailers. The neighborhood still resembles 1950s-style suburbia, with walkable streets leading to schools and parks. “It’s a Southside neighborhood, where folks tend to stay long term,” says Barb Ferrero, broker/associate at RE/MAX of Pueblo and city native. “It’s close to shopping. They’re close to schools, and there are lots of grocery stores.”

Walkable to Colorado State Fair
Across Prairie Avenue from Sunset are the Colorado State Fairgrounds, home to the Colorado State Fair. The ten-day event draws hundreds of thousands to its grounds for rides, concerts, food and other attractions. “The Colorado State Fair has been around for over 100 years,” Ferrero says. “Residents can walk there as well; many just leave their cars in their driveways and walk.” The fair includes competitions in things like livestock and craft beer. Cheers, screams and possibly a cannon can be heard during high school football season at Dutch Clark Stadium, 3 miles away. The Cannon Game is an anticipated annual match between South High School and East High School. The schools battled out for the Civil War-era cannon, where the winner decorates it in school colors, either gold (East) or black (South).
