Loveland
For all intents and purposes Loveland and Fort Collins are the same metropolitan area save a few key reasons. Smaller than Fort Collins, Loveland has maintained a small town feel all while growing as a commercial hub and its desirability. Loveland has added to its shopping areas with the Promenade Shops at Centerra and the Outlets at Loveland. It has built a state of the art medical facility in the Medical Center of the Rockies that rivals anything in the state. The Budweiser Event Center has outdone even the most optimistic estimates for its viability and draw. The Loveland community has benefited from a thought out decades ling growth plan and is just now reaping its rewards. The Loveland housing market and the property value growth are both among the best in the state. It’s no wonder why Loveland is called the sweetheart city. It is simply a paradise at the base of the Rockies and may not remain a hidden gem for long.- thompson school district

Greeley
Greeley was originally settled as the vision of a wester utopia and it has continued to live up to that expectation. Sitting an hour North of Denver, Greeley is primarily an agri-economy and Weld County consistently ranks in the top 10 of the agriculture producing counties in the country. Over the last decade, in addition to agri-business, Greeley has seen a great influx of technical industry as well. Greeley is also home to the University of Northern Colorado which is among the counties best schools in terms of teacher education and nursing. It’s easy to see, when considering a western utopia, why Greeley should be at the top of the list.- weld county SHOOL DISTRICT
