Colorado City

Colorado City is a rural community in Pueblo County situated in the foothills south of Pueblo near the foot of Greenhorn Mountain — the highest peak in the Wet Mountains at over 13,000 feet. The community occupies a beautiful transitional zone between the sweeping southern Colorado plains and the rising mountain terrain, offering residents a landscape that changes seasonally in dramatic and beautiful ways.

Properties in Colorado City range from $220,000 to $450,000, with a mix of rural residential homes, larger acreage parcels, and properties suited for horses or small agricultural operations. Pueblo County School District 70 serves the area, with Rye High School providing secondary education to the community's younger residents.

Colorado City has a genuine rural Colorado character — the kind of place where dark skies reveal brilliant star-filled nights, wildlife is a daily presence, and the pace of life reflects the land itself. Highway 165 (Colorado City's main artery) connects residents north to Pueblo and south through the Wet Mountain Valley toward La Veta and the Spanish Peaks. For buyers seeking rural acreage with mountain character in Pueblo County, Colorado City consistently delivers.
