"In the country but close enough to commute"

Pierce is a small town of just 837 residents and lies just east of Fort Collins. The homes here are typically small single family residences and there is a definite family oriented feel to the place. There's a nice, large baseball field with bleacher for games in the summer and several churches. As far as amenities go, there isn't much, but since Fort Collins is so close, Pierce doesn't seem really remote.

Most of the homes in town are well taken care of and it seems like a nice, clean, green town. As with many small towns, the water tower dominates.

The main industry in Pierce is educational services and the median household income is $48,551. You can buy an average single family detached home for around $150,886.
Pros
  • lower cost of living
  • can commute to Front Range
Cons
  • poor schools

"Pierce--little old railroad town"

Pierce is a rural farming town about 20 miles east of Fort Collins and north of Greeley. Double J Meat Packing is a dominate business in Pierce as well as the grain elevator that you can see driving into town.

The town was originally set-up as a railroad stop and later as a re-watering stop for steam locomotives hauling through. There are tracks of crop land for sale and standard sized homes in town go for under 100,000 in most cases.
Pros
  • can commute to Front Range
