Old Town Erie
Erie, CO · Historic Downtown Core
What it's like in Old Town Erie.
Old Town Erie is a quiet surprise for buyers who arrive expecting generic Front Range sprawl. The historic downtown core along Briggs Street retains genuine 19th-century character — brick storefronts, an original town square, and a community festival calendar that suggests a level of local pride well above average for a municipality of its size. The residential streets surrounding downtown are a mix of original cottages and well-maintained mid-century homes at price points that represent some of the most accessible full-service community living in Boulder County's orbit.

“"Old Town Erie is the kind of place that rewards buyers who actually walk the streets before they decide. The character is real, and the price still reflects the fact that not everyone has noticed."”

The Old Town Erie Farmers Market and seasonal festival events on Briggs Street are genuine community draws that attract visitors from across the region. Erie Community Park — one of the better municipal parks in Weld County — is walking distance. The Front Range views from elevated streets in Old Town are among the most underrated in the county. Denver is 35 minutes; Boulder is 30. The demographic is a mix of longtime Erie families and newcomers who specifically sought out the historic character that the newer developments don't have.
