Erie’s Premier New Community
Colliers Hill is Erie’s most prominent and most searched master-planned community — a 963-acre development positioned on elevated terrain northeast of downtown Erie, with panoramic Front Range mountain views and a deliberate design philosophy of connecting new construction quality with the authenticity of Old Town Erie below. The name itself is a tribute to that heritage: “collier” is the word for a coal miner, honoring the men who worked the mines beneath this land in Erie’s founding era.
Planned to accommodate approximately 3,000 homes at full build-out over 10–15 years, Colliers Hill is one of the largest active residential developments in northern Colorado. The community’s elevated site above Old Town creates a natural amphitheater of mountain views — many homes have west-facing decks or walkout basements positioned to capture the full Front Range panorama that this geography provides. The community was designed from the ground up as a master-planned community, which means consistent quality standards, professionally maintained common areas, and the amenity package that national homebuilders have refined across dozens of similar developments.
The Overlook is the community’s amenity centerpiece — a 6,500-square-foot clubhouse with a demo kitchen, fitness studio, meeting spaces, a grand fireplace, and a spectacular deck with a fire pit overlooking the surrounding landscape. The outdoor swimming pool, with jet sprays and a waterfall feature, hosts poolside parties and family movie nights throughout the summer season. Fifteen miles of hard and soft surface trails wind through the community and into the surrounding 400 acres of shared green space and natural riparian areas, providing genuine daily outdoor access without requiring a drive to a trailhead.
20 Minutes to Boulder, 25 Minutes to Denver
Colliers Hill’s location three miles west of I-25 Exit 232 (Erie Parkway) puts it at a genuinely balanced position between Denver and Boulder. Downtown Denver is approximately 25 minutes south via I-25; downtown Boulder is approximately 20 minutes west via State Highway 7. DIA is approximately 22 miles east — a meaningful advantage for frequent business travelers. The community’s position on elevated terrain northeast of Old Town means I-25 access is straightforward without navigating through downtown Erie’s more congested core.
The Lafayette Park-and-Ride on US-287 provides RTD transit access for residents commuting into Boulder or Denver, and the broader Erie trail network connects Colliers Hill to Coal Creek Park and Old Town below. Shopping and everyday retail is available along Erie Parkway’s commercial corridor, with the full Lafayette and Louisville retail options a short drive southwest.
