If you go to Google Earth and see Ft. C. from the air, you'll see some areas with lots of trees and some with hardly any. Most of Ft. Collins newer neighborhoods are former farms. Old town and several more established areas around CSU are older and have lots of nice old trees. Newer areas have smaller trees around homes, and the streets will be tree lined with newer trees the newer the neighborhood. Our schools are top rated. The PSD web site does a great job of providing info. Crime rate is very low thankfully. Skiing is about 2 to 2.5 hours away. Steamboat is fabulous and is due west of us as the grow flyies, but for us humans, its about 2.5 hour drive. Ft. Collins offers homes in all price ranges, so you shouldn't have a problem finding something suitable. If you'd like assistance, shoot me an email or visit my website at
