Located southwest of the intersection at Lemay Avenue and Elizabeth Street, the central Fort Collins neighborhood of University Acres provides the convenience of Old Town Fort Collins at a lower price per square foot. The neighborhood site, originally an 122 acre experimental farm owned by Colorado State University, was sold to real estate entrepreneurs Lewis & Mae Tiley and their son Bill in 1957. The Tiley family together with Everitt Companies developed the University Acres subdivision between 1959-1973, naming the streets after former Colorado State University presidents Edwards, Ellis, Green, Lory, Morgan, and Newsom. In this neighborhood two story, split-level, and ranch style homes are all represented, most include an attached 1 or 2 car garage. University Acres’ towering trees and its large 0.2 to 0.3 acre lots add to the neighborhood’s appeal. Homes for sale in University Acres are typically listed between $200,000 and $360,000.
