The town of Timnath is booming. The population has exploded from 625 people in 2010 to nearly 6,500 in 2020, transforming the agriculture town into a hot spot of suburban development. “Timnath is growing fast,” says Matt Haskell, owner of URealty Inc. brokerage in Fort Collins. “It’s absolutely one of the two or three fastest-growing areas in Colorado, and it’s a really high-end kind of place, so it’s easy to see why people are heading out there.” The town is just east of Fort Collins in Larimer County. There is an ever-shrinking gap of open farmland between the rapidly expanding suburbs of Fort Collins and Timnath. The same is true on the southeastern side of town with the town of Windsor. The open range recalls the area’s agricultural beginnings, where sugar beets and alfalfa once flourished across wide fields. Today, Timnath’s landscape is increasingly dotted with new homes, shopping complexes and community parks.
