A quiet, Weld County city with a community oriented feel
In the heart of the Northern Colorado countryside, severance is a quiet and rural city with a close-knit, community-oriented atmosphere. “It’s a small community with peaceful residential streets and few businesses,” says Cameron Loucks, a long-time Severance resident and real estate agent with 8z Real Estate. “It's the kind of rural area where people know their neighbors on their cul-de-sac and kids play in the residential streets when the weather is nice.” Severance began seeing growth in the early 1900s as farmers and factory workers came to the region to work in the sugar beet industry, which was the city’s primary employer for most of the century.
Farming and agriculture are big industries in the Severance area.

A modern housing market with larger lot sizes compared to nearby communities
The majority of homes in Severance were built after 2005, while a handful of historic homes surround the city’s center. The market is continuing to evolve as subdivisions are in the works. New neighborhoods like Tailholt and Horizon View Homes feature modern craftsman-style architecture.
The median home price is $508,000, which is lower than the Colorado average. “One of the biggest draws to Severance is the affordability and the space between homes,” Loucks says. “You’ll find slightly larger lot sizes here compared to Windsor and Greeley.”
