Like many communities in western Weld County, the town of approximately 10,820 residents offers a scenic, panoramic view of the mountains to the west. Severance boasts five parks that offer a wide variety or amenities, including water features (including stocked fishing ponds), basketball courts, a skateboard park, sand volleyball courts, and horseshoe pits.
The Rocky Mountains are less than an hour away, so nature lovers will have no trouble escaping to the wilderness. The nearby “Wild and Scenic” Poudre River is well-known for its rafting, kayaking, and fishing.
Severance Real Estate Market
Severance is one of Northern Colorado’s fastest-growing small towns, offering an increasingly attractive real estate market for buyers who want new construction at accessible price points with easy I-25 access. The median single-family home price ranges from approximately $420,000 to $500,000, making it one of the more affordable options in Weld County. The Weld County tax rate advantage — lower than Larimer County — adds additional appeal for buyers comparing Severance to similar communities across the county line.
The majority of Severance’s housing stock is relatively new, with most neighborhoods developed in the 2000s-2020s. Planned communities near the US-257 and WCR 74 corridors offer modern floor plans, three-car garages, and larger lots typical of Weld County development. Open space and sweeping mountain views are a defining feature of many properties here. New development continues, giving buyers strong selection across price points.
Severance’s market is less competitive than Windsor or Fort Collins, typically giving buyers more negotiating leverage and more time to make decisions. That said, the town’s growth trajectory — with a new high school, expanded retail, and improving infrastructure — positions it well for continued appreciation. Buyers who get in now benefit from lower prices relative to what the community is becoming.
