Erie, From Someone Who Actually Goes There

5 places in and around Erie I actually go to. Where I eat, where I take clients, and what I would tell a friend who was moving here.

Downtown

Erie

Old Town Erie, on Briggs Street. Scenic, social, and close enough to both Boulder and Denver that people stop compromising and just move here.

Where To Eat

24 Carrot Bistro

Farm-to-table in historic downtown Erie. When someone asks me what there is to eat in Erie, this is the first name out of my mouth.

Where To Eat

Birdhouse

The other half of Erie's food scene, alongside 24 Carrot. Between the two of them, the assumption that a small town means no dinner options doesn't survive a weekend.

Golf

Colorado National Golf Club

Erie's championship course, with Front Range views the whole way round. For a certain buyer this is the entire reason Erie beats the towns either side of it.

Downtown

Colliers Hill

A master-planned community in Erie with parks, trails and Front Range views. I've sold in here, and the trail network is the part people underestimate on a first visit.
