"A small town on the eastern plains, minutes from Kansas"

Stratton is a small town with 659 residents on the far eastern plains near Kansas. The main industry in Stratton is educational services, although this is a prominent area for agriculture as well. The median household income is $31,866 with an average home price of $83,093. The town of Stratton has a lot of nice, smaller single family homes which look as if they are well taken care of. There aren't many amenities here, but the larger town of Burlington (pop. 4,074) is just under 20 minutes away and has much more to offer.
Pros
  • country living
Cons
  • still too far to commute to Front Range

"Stratton is a little country town not far from the Kansas border along I-70"

Stratton is a small agricultural community about 25 miles from the Kansas line. The town has about 650 folks who for the most part work on the surrounding farms, ranches, for the city and school district or are part of the trucking industry along the I-70 corridor that is the towns lifeline.

The average median household income in Stratton is about $32,000 a year. It is very affordable to live and buy a home and property in this area of Colorado. Many of the homes I was able to view for sale online were nice, average homes in town for less than $100,000--try getting that in any suburb in Denver! The downfall is that your basically in Kansas, no view of the mnts and hot dry summers and cold windswept winters, spring and fall however can be quite pretty and the stars shine bright well away from the bussle and lights of the Front Range far to the west.
