Southern neighborhood with a mix of residential and commercial properties
Fox Farm-College is a census-designated area on the south side of Cheyenne with industrial businesses, residential neighborhoods and a population of just over 3,800 residents. Locals that move here get modest-sized homes near restaurants and major highways. "Affordability is a draw. [The area] was mostly associated with Laramie County for a long time, but now it's moving more to the city," says Brenton Leavitt, associate broker at RE/MAX Capitol Properties and Cheyenne resident for more than 40 years. As its name implies, Fox Farm-College is home to Laramie County Community College, which teaches more than 5,700 students and partners with the community. "The college is a big draw for the town with meetings often happening there," Leavitt says. "When I first moved there, the campus was small, and they were building it out. Now that it's built, people are coming in." The CAP Index crime score is a 5 out of 10, just one point higher than the national score of 4.
Fox Farm-College is located in the beautiful city of Cheyenne.

Manufactured and ranch homes near commercial sites
Fox-Farm College has a part rural, part industrial ambiance. Industrial businesses are scattered throughout the neighborhood on fields off dirt roads, and residences are generally within mobile home subdivisions or near commercial buildings. "At this point, the commercial is basically staying along South Greeley Highway and Fox Farm Road,” Leavitt says. "It used to be intermixed, but it's getting more separate from the residential parts." Houses may have private driveways or separate garages, and the neighborhood has few sidewalks; most homes have grassy lawns next to the road. Traditional ranch-style homes may have front yards, landscaping or metal fencing. Prices range from $250,000 to $525,000. Manufactured homes are situated north of College Drive and east of Avenue C. "Some of those manufactured homes are getting pulled out, and new trailers are pulled in," Leavitt says. "They're definitely modernizing down there, and bringing homes up to 2024 standard." Manufactured homes can range from $40,000 to $227,000.

Home to Laramie County Community College
Children can begin their education at Arp Elementary School from prekindergarten until the sixth grade. This school earns a C-plus grade from Niche. Johnson Junior High is a C-rated school that serves seventh- and eighth-grade students. Students finish their education at South High, a C-plus school offering dual enrollment courses with Laramie County Community College and career academies for business, STEM and health sciences. Laramie County Community College has 43 associate’s degree pathways and two bachelor's degree programs. The community heads to campus to cheer for its athletic teams and eat in its lunchroom. "People make it a destination to make it to their cafeteria," Leavitt says. That includes neighbors who aren’t even students. "They rotate the food all the time, but they have a buffet and their salad bar is really good."
Local eateries along Highway 85
Right outside the neighborhood, the Galaxy Donut Shop on Central sells espresso, coffee beverages and assorted doughnuts.
