"Atwood is a little dusty interstate town in NE Colorado"

Atwood is only about 5 miles from Sterling that is a bit to the east down I-76. Atwood is based on agriculture, livestock and the trucking industry because of the interstate. The average household income is actually fairly high at $45,000/year and this is not because people are commuting to the Front Range. It is a very long commute to Denver.

There are only about 200 people and they are scattered through the area in ranches and farms primarily. There is a little town as well but there are very few places to shop or eat. Most Atwood residents go into Sterling for most services.
Pros
  • cheap housing
  • quiet
Cons
  • no amenities

"A small town with not much to offer"

Atwood, Colorado is home to only 133 people, with over 90% of them being white. Many of the residents here work in waste management, wholesale, and manufacturing. The estimated household income for Atwood is $38,791 while the median home price here is $166,186, both of which are lower than state averages. Since Atwood lies a couple miles off of I-76, there really isn't any traffic or noise to contend with being so close to a highway.

While there really isn't anything to do in Atwood, it is only a 10 minute drive to Sterling for both shopping and dining. Children also go to Sterling for school since Atwood is just too small to have schools of its own.
Pros
  • quiet
  • cheap housing
Cons
  • no amenities
