"A little town close to the Nebraska border"

Peetz is a small town of just 238 residents. While this little town may seem to be really remote, it is actually just 19 minutes away from Sidney, Nebraska. Many residents travel to Sidney for work, and many of these people work in retail, which is the most common industry for these residents. The median household income here is $35,246 which is just about $20,000 less than the state's average. However, you can get some incredible home prices here as well. The median home value here is $69,583, which is much lower than the state's average of $237,800.

For families who love the country, this would be a great place to call home. It's not far from Sidney, which is just shy of 7,000 residents. In Sidney there are more options for shopping and dining. The schools here are also very good and the students do very well on state standardized tests.
Pros
  • great schools
  • established farmland
Cons
  • farming dependent on irrigation
  • remote from Front Range

"Peetz -- Farmland that is basically Nebraska"

Peetz is a tiny town of about 200 souls in far northeastern Colorado very very close to the Nebraska border. The large wind turbines of the Peetz Wind Farm are located on the Peetz Plateau.

The town is chiefly an agriculturally driven community, with one grain elevator. The town offers a good school district for its kids that is part of Logan County's public system. Simple but nice homes in town can go for $50,000, this is a very affordable community compared to the Front range and mountain living to the western (and the best) parts of Colorado. Peetz is close to Nebraska and it feels like Nebraska. The quiet and peace of the High Plains does give great sunsets and sunrises, but hot windy summers and cold windy winters, this is a rough place to live. There are really nice homes for $100,000, that is unheard of in other parts of Colorado!
Pros
  • established farmland
Cons
  • remote from Front Range
