Welcome to Where I Live, a series dedicated to celebrating the distinct neighborhoods that make Fort Collins so special. With each entry, we aim to paint a picture of our diverse city by highlighting the people and places that bring each neighborhood to life.
Fort Collins is more than a city; it’s a collection of communities, each with its own character, history, and charm. From the tree-lined streets of Old Town and the creative energy of the River District to the family-friendly atmosphere of Rigden Farm and the scenic tranquility near Horsetooth Reservoir, Where I Live will explore the unique elements that define Fort Collins’ neighborhoods.
This series goes beyond just locations on a map. Where I Live will bring readers into the everyday lives of locals, sharing personal stories, neighborhood traditions, and favorite spots. Through these narratives, readers will gain an insider’s perspective on each area—what makes it feel like home, what brings neighbors together, and the qualities that make each neighborhood distinctly “Fort Collins.”
If you’re passionate about where you live, we want to hear from you. We’re looking for Fort Collins residents from all parts of the city to share their stories—whether it’s a cherished coffee shop, a park where neighbors gather, or the character of the block where you grew up. These reflections help foster a deeper sense of community and connection, celebrating the diversity that makes our city such a unique place to live.
