Clean and crisp Empire is a long-time destination for hunters, hiking fans and those who just want to escape to a casual and relaxed atmosphere. This Empire city boasts just such a casual and relaxed atmosphere. With nineteen hundred permanent residents, this Empire community is connected to the regular public highway system by a single bridge. With a township wide speed limit of really only 40 mph, this Empire Community city is far away from the hustle and bustle of the nerve wrecking city. The rare setting of private properties, historic landmarks, historic bungalows, and luxurious estates located around the naturally georgeous Colorado Rockies add to this Empire community’s unique charm. Having been situated in Northwestern Colorado, Empire is approximately 35 miles south of Fort Collins and 75 miles north of Durango. Residents and visitors usually enjoy activities involving the Northwestern Colorado area's beautiful natural surroundings. These include snowboarding, hiking, fishing, snowmobiling, bird watching, or mountain biking, nature photography along the many miles of naturally georgeous Empire mountain trails, or just taking it east. Even non golfers will soon understand that golf is particularly important to the Empire lifestyle. There are at least eleven courses around the the region, with several more located in the surrounding complexes and regions. Between warm and enjoyable rounds of golf, you can attend a community festival such as the Empire Festival of music and art, or shop for unique gifts and crafts at city stores. For more enjoyable entertainment, Empire residents can simply make the short drive into Fort Collins, the most visited resort on the rather large and expansive southern Rockies, with many opportunities for dancing, dining, culture and nightlife. Our public elementary and high schools include Empire Schools, which operates schools here in Empire. Real Estate options in Empire entirely made up of one family homes, estate properties, condominiums, townhouses and raw land and undeveloped lots.
