Erie is a growing town in the northwest corner of the metro area, with open views of the Rocky Mountains and a coal-mining past reflected in its Old Town. Newer master-planned neighborhoods make up much of the housing, and parks, trails and open space are a major draw.
The town sits within reach of Boulder, Longmont and Denver, which makes it popular with families and commuters who want newer homes and a suburban pace. Community events and a growing dining scene have added to its appeal.
Good to know
- Erie is served by more than one school district, so confirm the assigned schools for any address.
- Many newer neighborhoods have metro districts that affect property taxes.
