Loved Loveland

I lived and taught in Loveland from 1993 to 2005. Moving from Fort Collins was concerning to me as Loveland was known to be much more conservative at the time. I was single, but not into nightclubs, bars, etc., so the lack of that wasn't a problem. Most people were quite friendly and I was more successful in making friends than I ever had been in Ft. Collins. If you want more to do, Loveland and Fort Collins are right next to each other. The park and lake, sculpture garden in Loveland is quite nice, although I would not recommend swimming in it. There is a lovely rec center, also with a park, and some excellent summer concerts. Loveland has grown immensely and housing prices are ridiculous now, as in any central/northern Colorado urban area. Despite the growth, it has maintained a small town feel. Beautiful Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park are a short drive up the canyon. Many people boat and use the bike at Boyd Lake State Park, which is at the edge of town.
