Erie

Erie’s roots are in the coal mining and agricultural industries, though today this bustling town is comprised of friendly neighborhoods and a quaint Historic Downtown Business District. Conveniently located with easy access to both Denver and Boulder, Erie is perfectly positioned in the center of Colorado’s major metropolitan areas complete with an abundance of cultural, recreational and educational opportunities. The new Northwest Parkway with E-470 is just two miles from Erie, making travel to Denver International Airport a breeze.

Wander through the Historic Downtown Business District and you will find businesses of all types and marvelous restaurants and cafes. Downtown Erie is rapidly gaining the reputation as the place to go in the area for wonderful food in a small-town atmosphere. Though Denver and Boulder are both just minutes away, Erie offers its residents plenty to keep them busy. Annual events such as Oktoberfest, the Erie Town Fair, the Eerie Erie 10k Halloween Race, Biscuit Day and the High School Homecoming Parade all bring together hundreds of residents for an enjoyable day.

Erie’s clean air, friendly people and spectacular views of the Rocky Mountains and Colorado’s Front Range give its residents an exceptional quality of life. With over 300 days of sunshine a year, there are plenty of days to take in a round of golf at the new 18-hole championship golf course, hike or bike on the many trails or enjoy the Town’s Skate Park.

As the town is rapidly growing, and anticipates continued growth throughout the next few years, a comprehensive growth plan is in place. Well-planned, beautiful neighborhoods, parks and open space will ensure that both new and current residents will enjoy Erie for decades to come.
