Troy Ave, CSUP Campus

Troy Avenue is mostly a residential street, located near Colorado State University on the east side of town. There are also a handful of fast food restaurants, shopping areas, and gas stations; as well as Praise Assembly of God. For the most part, the homes and apartments nearest the school are very nice; the more you travel east, the more run-down the street becomes. Although housing is very affordable, it’s best to evaluate the area before you buy or rent off of Troy.

Another issue with Troy is that the street is a cross-section for East and South High School, and therefore it can get crazy during football season. With high schoolers joyriding and starting fights with players from other teams, it's rarely dangerous but often irritating on Friday nights.
