This Colorado City Has Been Named Top ‘Up-and-Comer’ in the Nation
Colorado is full of amazing cities, each with its own feel. There are many boomtowns in Colorado, which have had population explosions over the past few years.
Take Fruita, for instance. It’s expected to welcome thousands of new residents in the coming decade. Greeley and Fort Collins are also frequently mentioned as boomtowns. And guess what? Two of these cities are making waves and gaining national recognition.
Two Colorado Cities Receive More National Recognition
Boulder and Fort Collins are expected to be a top choice for relocation, according to research from Real Estate Witch.
Real Estate Witch scoured 150 cities and came up with a list of the 15 most promising places to live in America. They looked at things like how affordable housing is, how the economy is doing, and what’s going on in terms of culture and entertainment.
Boulder was ranked the top up-and-coming city in Colorado, but Fort Collins was ranked very close. Boulder is locked in as the 13th biggest up-and-coming city in Colorado and Fort Collins was ranked 16th.
Why These Colorado Cities Are Up-and-Coming
The research shows that there are many employment opportunities in these two cities. The unemployment rate is low, however, property value has been rising rather quickly over the past five years.

One interesting thing is that Real Estate Witch predicts that the price of a home will decrease over the next few months. This means that more Coloradans will have better opportunities to buy a home.
You may or may not agree with that, but that is what the research shows.
