Why Is Loveland, CO Called the "Sweetheart City"?
A real video tour from Christine Gwinnup's own YouTube channel.
Before I sold homes here, I left Loveland — and then I chose to come back. If you're weighing that same move, hear the honest version from someone who's actually made it, not another list of amenities.
A big red barn on the Big Thompson, 2.5 miles west of town right at the mouth of the canyon. I'll say it plainly: this place is one of the reasons I moved back to Loveland.
A Loveland Mexican spot the locals already know about, on Eisenhower. Nobody paid me to say that — I just eat here.
Where To Eat
The Colorado Cherry Company
Pies, cider and jam just west of Loveland, going for generations — from back when Loveland really was Colorado's cherry capital. Pull over even if you weren't planning to.
Where To Eat
Mr. Chen Sushi & Hibachi Steak House
Tucked at the end of a strip mall on Eisenhower, and a lot better than that makes it sound. I went in skeptical about sushi in a strip mall and I was wrong.
Downtown
Downtown Loveland
Fourth and Lincoln, and the events calendar that actually fills these streets — art shows, sculpture, the summer nights when downtown is genuinely busy. If you're deciding whether Loveland has a real downtown, come on one of those.
Where To Eat
Sage
A downtown Loveland spot that shows the place genuinely alive on a night out, which is the thing you can't tell from a photo of Fourth Street at 10am.
Trail
Devil's Backbone Open Space
The rock fin west of town, and the trail almost every new Loveland resident walks first. Go early, take more water than you think you need, and know that the loop is longer than it looks from the parking lot.
Annual Event
Taste of Loveland
The downtown food-and-drink event. I work it every year, and it is still the fastest way to meet half of Loveland in one afternoon.
Golf
The Olde Course at Loveland
Northwest Loveland's municipal course and the neighborhood wrapped around it — mature fairways, a renovated clubhouse, and homes that hold their value.
Trail
Bobcat Ridge Natural Area
Fort Collins-owned open space on the west side of Loveland — ponderosa, old homestead ruins, and a long loop most new residents never find.
Street tacos and serious tequila at The Foundry, right in downtown Loveland. Come on a Friday night if you want to know what this downtown is actually like.
Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai and sushi out of one east-Loveland kitchen. Not glamorous — it's the neighborhood standby you order from on a Tuesday, and every good neighborhood has one.
