Fort Collins

Residents often describe wanting a tight-knit, outdoorsy community — which is a big part of what draws people to Tucson as well, minus the snow.

The Basics

  • Distance: ~870 miles / ~13-14 hour drive / flight typically connects through Denver

  • Climate: From Fort Collins' cold, snowy winters to a warm, dry desert climate

  • Cost of living: Generally more affordable housing than Fort Collins' current market


What Fort Collins Residents Often Ask About

  • Whether Tucson has a similar community feel (it varies significantly by neighborhood — worth discussing directly)

  • How the food and craft beverage scene compares (Tucson has a strong and growing scene of its own)

  • Practical logistics of the move given the longer drive
