"Vona is farm country on the high plains near Kansas"

Vona is a very small town of only 100 people just north of I-70 about 30 miles from the Kansas border. This is a farming community surrounded by big monoculture fields and not much else, you can not see the mountains and it feels like Kansas.

Hot and dusty in the summer and cold and windy in the winter this is a rough area and not what many think of when they think of Colorado. But the air is clean and the sky is big like the open high plains that it sits on.

The commute to the Denver area would be brutal, most residents are part of the agricultural community in the area or the trucking industry that uses the I-70 corridor. The average median income in Vona is about $30,000. I took a peek at the real estate and farm land, there is a 710 acre plot with a home and other structures for $749,000 for example.
Pros
  • very affordable land/homes
  • farming land
Cons
  • very remote
  • hot summers/windy cold winters

"A small little town just north of I-70"

Vona lies just north of I-70 about 25 minutes west of Burlington. Only 106 residents call Vona home and of those the majority are White. Many of the residents of Vona work in construction, retail, and educational services. The median household income here is $20,951 which is significantly lower than the state average. However, the housing prices here are much lower as well. You can buy a median priced home in Vona for only $95,283.

Being so small, Vona really has no amenities. The only thing in Vona is an elementary school, Hi Plains Elementary School which is just off of 2nd and Poplar Street.

I've driven by Vona many times and unless you know where to look it can be easy to miss. For families who are looking to truly live the quiet life, this may just be the place.
Pros
  • peace and quiet
