Serving Weld County
Updated October 2026.
Historic Severance is the original plat and the additions that grew around it — Weld County records show the Severance and Severance Add plats, plus the Franklins and Franklin Place additions. The town grew as an agricultural shipping point on the Great Western Railway, and that rail bed is now the Great Western Trail, which means the historic core sits directly on the region's best recreational corridor. Housing is the oldest stock in town: early-1900s through mid-century homes on in-town lots, mixed with newer infill as the town has redeveloped. Because it is the center of Severance, buyers here can walk to the schools, the town's civic buildings and the trail. Pricing follows the broader Severance market — active listings across town in October 2026 ran $386,900 to $755,000 — but the historic blocks generally sit below the new-construction filings. Schools are Weld RE-4.
