June 10, 2025

Considering a move to Northern Colorado? While cities like Fort Collins and Greeley often get the spotlight, Ault, Colorado, is a hidden gem that’s quietly drawing attention for its affordability, small-town charm, and easy access to major hubs. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer, growing family, or looking for a slower pace of life, Ault could be the perfect fit. Let’s take a closer look at why this welcoming town might be the place you’ve been searching for.

Why Choose Ault, Colorado?

Ault (known as “A Unique Little Town”) is located in Weld County, just 20 minutes from Greeley and about 30 minutes from Fort Collins. While small in population, it offers big value—especially for buyers seeking attainable housing, peaceful living, and a strong sense of community. It's a town where neighbors know each other, local businesses thrive, and the sunsets are unmatched.

Affordability & Housing

Compared to larger Northern Colorado cities, Ault provides more home for your money. New construction homes—including townhomes and single-family options—are available at more accessible price points, often starting in the low $300s to $500s. With lower property taxes than neighboring areas and plenty of space, Ault is an appealing option for buyers wanting to escape the hustle without sacrificing modern living.

Commute & Location

Ault sits at the crossroads of Highway 85 and Highway 14, offering a simple commute to Fort Collins, Windsor, Greeley, or even Cheyenne, WY. For those who work in larger cities but prefer a quieter home base, Ault offers the perfect balance. It’s also less than an hour from Denver International Airport (DIA), making travel convenient for both business and leisure.

Lifestyle & Community

Ault has retained its agricultural roots and small-town atmosphere, with events like the Fall Festival and local parades creating a welcoming, nostalgic feel. The town has a mix of young families, retirees, and professionals from various industries—including education, construction, retail, and healthcare.

Despite its size, Ault is growing, and the town has plans for continued development while still preserving its character. The sense of pride here is strong, and it’s easy to feel at home.

Schools & Education

Families in Ault are served by the Weld RE-9 School District, including Highland Elementary, Middle, and High School—all located right in town. With small class sizes and a close-knit environment, parents can expect a hands-on educational experience for their children.

Outdoor Fun & Recreation

Northern Colorado is known for its access to nature, and Ault is no exception. You’re just minutes from Banner Lakes State Wildlife Area and a short drive to hiking, biking, and outdoor adventures.
