Observatory Village — Fort Collins, Colorado Subdivision Guide

Serving Larimer County

Observatory Village occupies Fort Collins' far southeast corner near the I-25 interchange, an area blanketed with new retail, restaurants, and employment growth along the Harmony corridor. The neighborhood features newer construction — primarily 2015–2025 — with modern floor plans, three-car garages, and lots of a quarter-acre or more. Bordered by open farmland and the Power Trail, the community offers a semi-rural feel while being ten minutes from everything the Harmony corridor provides. Commuters value the straight shot to I-25, and the surrounding 80528 ZIP code has become Northern Colorado's premier tech-worker neighborhood thanks to its combination of new inventory, big lots, and the top-rated Zach Elementary to Fossil Ridge High School pipeline. Observatory Village sits in the path of Fort Collins' planned Southeast Community Center and library, slated adjacent to Fossil Ridge High School.

Observatory Village is a newer luxury community in far southeastern Fort Collins off Ziegler Road, with contemporary two-story and ranch homes on quarter-acre lots and direct access to the Power Trail. It is one of the city's most sought-after new-construction enclaves.
